Our Culture & Remote Work

We hire talented, self-motivated individuals with extreme ownership and high growth orientation. We value performance over hours worked, believing you shouldn't miss important life events for an arbitrary work schedule. We are a remote-first team spread across time zones, meaning there's no office to report to – work from wherever helps you do your best work. Please note that pay is based on your location, and you'll need to maintain a home base in the country you're hired in. While we support flexibility, this is not a passport-optional, work-from-anywhere-on-Earth kind of remote role; flexibility is within your country, not borderless. Occasional travel to meet members and the team is expected.

About the Role

Sonar is scaling from an industry data utility to critical AI infrastructure for agentic commerce. As the Technical Product Manager, you will own this product and guide its evolution to meet the needs of agents and institutions. This is a high-autonomy role for a technically fluent PM who is comfortable with API design, the infrastructure behind AI agents, and can collaborate with legal counsel on the regulatory aspects of a data-sharing network.

What You'll Be Doing

Own the Sonar roadmap and build the infrastructure layers that make it core to how institutions and their agents fight financial crime, focusing on:

• Collaboration: Secure, governed channels for institutions to work together on suspected financial crime.
• Identity and trust: Verified, scoped, and auditable access for institutions and their agents that use Sonar.
• Investigation: Governed intelligence that connects related entities across institutions.
• Distribution: Making Sonar available wherever institutions and their agents do their work.
• Write and maintain technical specifications, integration playbooks, and documentation for member and partner integrations.
• Translate regulatory constraints (314(b), GLBA, FCRA, BSA) into product requirements, including purpose limitation, data handling, and audit, working directly with Legal on implementation questions.
• Partner with Engineering on the data and platform architecture that enables Sonar to scale.
• Collaborate with fraud, AML, and investigations teams at member institutions to understand current analyst workflows.
• Define and track success metrics such as member adoption, inquiry volume and response rates, time to answer, and quality of agent usage.
• Work with Business Development, Sales, and Partnerships to onboard new institutions and platform partners onto Sonar.

What You'll Need

• Experience shipping APIs or developer-facing products, with fluency in authentication, scoped credentials, and audit logging.
• Hands-on experience with AI agents and the infrastructure that supports them.
• Working knowledge of financial crime, including fraud, AML, and investigation workflows.
• Experience building within regulatory constraints on data use. Familiarity with 314(b), GLBA, or FCRA is ideal.
• Strong analytical skills and comfort querying data to inform decisions.
• Clear written specifications and the ability to communicate effectively with engineers, lawyers, and bank executives.

Bonus Points
