About the role
We are looking for a Technical Product Owner to build the next generation of developer tools and integration experiences at Simetrik. This is a hybrid role at the intersection of product, UX and engineering: you will translate complex technical problems into clear definitions, APIs, SDKs and developer experiences that make it radically easier for our customers’ technical teams (developers, IT, product) to integrate with Simetrik.
You will join a small, high-impact squad (Product Engineering Manager, you, three developers and QA) focused on our Developer Tools (DevTools) area. Your work will directly shape the tools that power Simetrik’s global expansion, including the foundations to integrate with AI agents.
What does success look like in this role?
Success in this role is not just “shipping features”, but driving adoption and business impact. In practice, it looks like:
- The APIs, SDKs and developer experiences you define are actively used by technical users at our clients.
- These tools unlock and accelerate deals: integrations become faster, more predictable and easier to scale.
- You can show a clear link between your tools and revenue enablement (shorter time-to-integration, more use cases, reduced friction in sales and implementation).
- Internal and external developers recognize your tools as reliable, well-documented and straightforward to work with.
The opposite of success would be shipping tools that are technically correct but not adopted or that do not meaningfully move the needle for customers or the business.
What is the impact and scope of this position?
This role sits in the core of how customers build on top of Simetrik:
- You will be responsible for the future of our developer tooling: APIs, SDKs, developer console, documentation and related experiences.
- Your work will be a key enabler for AI agent integrations and other advanced use cases our clients want to build on Simetrik.
- The tools you define will directly impact global expansion, simplifying how new customers and markets integrate with our platform.
- You will collaborate closely with global teams and enterprise customers, understanding how large organizations integrate financial and operational data through APIs.
This is a highly leveraged role: improvements in developer tools cascade across many customers and deals.
What outcomes are expected in the first 3 to 6 months?
In the first 3–6 months, we expect you to:
- Map and deeply understand the current experience of technical users (developers, IT, product) integrating with Simetrik.
- Consolidate feedback from existing customers and internal teams into a prioritized roadmap for developer tools (APIs, SDKs, developer console, documentation).
- Lead the definition and delivery of initial versions or improvements of key tools (e.g., public APIs, SDKs, developer portal/console) with clear success metrics.
- Define and start tracking adoption and impact metrics (usage, activation, time-to-integration, contribution to deals).
- Run discovery and validation sessions with technical users to ensure what you are building solves the right problems.
- Build a strong working dynamic with the Engineering Manager, developers and QA so the team can move fast with clarity and alignment.
In this role you will
In this role you will own the end-to-end lifecycle of our developer tools: from understanding the problem with users, to defining solutions, to collaborating in design and implementation, and finally ensuring adoption and impact.
You will:
- Act as the product owner for developer tools and APIs within the DevTools squad.
- Spend meaningful time with technical users at client organizations, understanding their integration flows, constraints and expectations.
- Translate technical problems into clear product definitions, requirements, flows and documentation.
- Work closely with engineering to ensure what is built matches the intended experience and solves real customer pains.
What are the key responsibilities of this role?
- Own the vision, roadmap and backlog for developer tools (APIs, SDKs, developer console/portal, documentation) in the DevTools team.
- Lead product discovery with technical stakeholders (developers, IT, product) at customers and internal teams.
- Define product requirements, user flows, edge cases and success metrics for developer tools.
- Collaborate with engineering to scope, prioritize and deliver iterations that balance speed, quality and impact.
- Ensure that every tool shipped has clear documentation, examples and guidance that make it easy for developers to adopt.
- Partner with UX/design (where applicable) or leverage your own UX intuition to shape the interaction and experience of the developer console and related interfaces.
- Monitor usage, adoption and performance of tools; iterate based on data and qualitative feedback.
- Act as the internal advocate for developers, bringing their constraints and needs into product and technical discussions.
- Collaborate with Sales, Solutions and Customer Success to understand deal requirements and ensure tools effectively unblock and accelerate integrations.
- Contribute to a culture of learning and iteration, documenting decisions, sharing learnings and adjusting the roadmap as we learn from the market.
Must Have
- Proven experience building or owning developer-facing products: public APIs, SDKs, developer platforms, or similar.
- Direct participation in the design, launch and iteration of APIs or tools used by external developers (not only internal systems).
- Ability to explain a concrete example where you shipped a tool for developers, how it was adopted and what business impact it had.
- Strong technical fluency: you can discuss architecture, integration patterns and API design with engineers, and understand constraints and trade-offs.
- Experience working end-to-end: from understanding customer problems to defining solutions, collaborating with engineering and validating impact.
- Comfort working in cross-functional teams (engineering, product, design, sales, customer success) in a fast-moving environment.
- High level of English, both spoken and written, to collaborate with global teams and interview international customers.
Nice to Have
- Experience working in SaaS companies that build tools for developers (e.g., APIs, SDKs, platforms, developer portals).
- Prior hands-on experience as a software engineer (backend/frontend) before moving into product/PO roles.
- Exposure to or experience with AI agents, automation or integration platforms, especially where developers build on top of a core product.
- Experience working closely with UX/Design teams or having had partial responsibility for designing interfaces for technical users.
- Familiarity with enterprise integration patterns in fintech, payments, or data-heavy environments.
Qualifications
- Experience level: typically 4–7+ years in roles such as Technical Product Owner, Technical Product Manager, Developer Platform PM, or similar, with significant exposure to developer-facing products..
- Background: degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related field is a plus, but equivalent practical experience in technical environments is also valued.
- Industry experience: prior work in SaaS, fintech, payments, developer platforms or infrastructure products is highly valued.
- Location: preferably based in Colombia or Argentina, working closely with our teams in the region.
- Language: fluent English and Spanish are required to interact with global stakeholders and customers.
Benefits
- Well-funded and proven startup with large ambitions and competitive salaries.
- Entrepreneurial culture where pushing limits, creating and collaborating is everyday business.
- Open communication with management and company leadership.
- Small, dynamic teams = massive impact.
- 500USD a year for you to invest in learning.
