About the Team
The Payments team builds the products that move money on the Flinks platform: EFT, Interac and Guaranteed EFT, which gives end users faster access to their funds. We work with banks, credit unions and fintechs across Canada that need money movement to be fast, reliable and compliant.
As Payments grows, we’re investing in quality, automation and operational excellence. This role sits at the center of that work, partnering daily with Product, Engineering, Implementation and Client teams.
What You’ll Do
You own the day-to-day product health of our standard Payments products. You’ll:
- Own and prioritize the Payments backlog (bugs, risks, improvements) and write clear product requirements and acceptance criteria.

- Watch production health: payment and settlement alerts, incident follow-up and root-cause actions.
- Guide new bank and fintech clients through standard Payments integrations, with Architects, Developers and Implementation Managers.
- Keep public docs, runbooks and test cases accurate and up to date.
- Maintain the due-diligence material banks ask for (SLAs, security answers, test evidence).
- Act as a trusted point of contact for Payments clients on quality, releases and incidents.
Who You Are
- At least 5 years in product quality or product ownership, ideally in SaaS.

- You explain technical topics clearly to engineers, clients and leadership.
