Manager, Product Management - Instrument Authoring Experience (IAX) Team

Manager, Product Management (PXDP50)

Product Management at Capital One is a booming, vibrant craft that requires reimagining the status quo, finding value creation opportunities, and driving innovative and sustainable customer experiences through technology. We believe our portfolio of businesses and investments in growth and transformation will result in a company with the scale, brand, capabilities, talent, and values to succeed as the digital revolution transforms our society and our industry.

About the Team

The Instrument Authoring Experience (IAX) team is the central nervous system of the Prometheus Financial Core (PFC), Capital One's internal, cloud-native ledger system designed to replace legacy third-party cores. Our platform serves as the real-time "System-of-Record" for the enterprise , managing the "Irreducible Core" services: Ingestor, Ledger, and Mapper. We are seeking a Technical Product Manager to own the "engine room" of this platform.

What You'll Do

In this role, you will be responsible for the "here and now" of intent delivery by ensuring that our core platform capabilities operate flawlessly at runtime. You will move beyond simple ticket writing to become a technical leader who understands how data payloads, feature flags, and instrument logic interact to create a seamless customer experience.

• Runtime Execution: Drive the end-to-end delivery of product intents through the IAX platform, managing the lifecycle from definition to runtime deployment. You will ensure the "Ledger logic" and "Ingress/Egress mappings" are executing correctly in production.
• Technical Refinement: Lead deep-dive sessions with engineering to define observability requirements and "Standard Fields". You are comfortable getting your hands dirty in the technical details of schemas and API definitions.
• Strategic Narrative: Create consultant-quality presentations that synthesize complex technical progress into clear, executive-level updates. You can build the deck, tell the story, and sell the vision.
• Operational Excellence: Monitor live intents to ensure stability and troubleshoot runtime issues. You will help distinguish between platform incidents and instrument logic failures, ensuring our "System-of-Record" remains immutable and explainable.
