About this role

Kunai builds full-stack technology solutions for banks, credit and payment networks, infrastructure providers, and their customers. Together, we are changing the world’s relationship with financial services. At Kunai, we help our clients modernize, capitalize on emerging trends, and evolve their business for the coming decades by remaining tech-agnostic and human-centered.

 

As part of your first client engagement, you will help drive the retirement, remediation, and migration of legacy applications across a large payments platform program, working closely with engineering teams to define scope and sequence the work.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Manage a portfolio of legacy application retirement and migration projects across a payments platform program
  • Partner with engineering and architecture teams to define disposition paths for legacy systems: retire, remediate, or migrate to new infrastructure
  • Bring a software engineering lens to technical scoping, sequencing, and tradeoff discussions with engineering leads
  • Build and maintain project plans, timelines, and dependency maps across multiple concurrent workstreams and products
  • Identify risks and blockers early, and drive them to resolution with the right technical and business stakeholders
  • Track progress against milestones and report status clearly to program leadership and client stakeholders
  • Coordinate across engineering, infrastructure, security, and compliance teams to keep migrations on track
  • Facilitate program-level ceremonies (planning, status reviews, retros) to keep teams aligned
  • Maintain clear documentation of application disposition decisions and migration progress
  • Flag scope or timeline changes early and help the team adjust plans accordingly

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • 7+ years experience as a Technical Program Manager running programs involving application engineering, modernization, migration, or retirement, ideally leading multiple products or a portfolio in large organizations
  • Software engineering background and/or enough technical depth to scope and sequence work directly with engineering teams
  • Exposure to product management, with an understanding of how technical roadmaps connect to product priorities
  • Experience in banking, payments, credit, debit, settlements, or another regulated financial services environment
  • Familiarity with cloud migration concepts and target infrastructure (AWS or similar)
  • Working knowledge of Agile delivery practices and tools like JIRA and Confluence
  • Experience managing risk, dependencies, and stakeholder communication across multiple workstreams
  • A clear communicator who can translate technical detail for both engineers and business stakeholders
  • Organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable keeping several moving parts on track at once

 

 

Our success over the past 20 years is rooted in our exceptional team, which thrives in a culture of collaboration, creativity, and continuous learning. 

We are proud to offer our employees a range of benefits, including competitive compensation, professional development opportunities, and flexible work arrangements, all designed to help them thrive. As we continue to expand, we remain committed to cultivating an environment where people feel valued, have a voice, and are given the tools to grow—both personally and professionally—while pushing the boundaries of innovation in the fintech industry.

 

Minimum Degree Required:

  • Bachelor’s Degree, in lieu of a degree, demonstrating in addition to the minimum years of experience required for the role, three years of specialized training and/or progressively responsible work experience in technology for each missing year of college is required
