Senior Technical Product Manager — GenAI & Agentic Systems

About the opportunity

We are seeking a seasoned Senior Product Manager to join the “Intelligent Operations Platforms” (IOP) segment. In this role, you will drive the development of AI solutions - spanning both Machine Learning and Generative AI - that empower our teams and help N26 lead the financial industry through technology.

Our AI Products team acts as a central hub of innovation. We don't just build features; we build and manage AI capabilities that allow every other part of the bank - from Financial Crime and Risk to Growth and Marketing - to become smarter. You will work at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and real-world banking, turning sophisticated models into scalable products that improve efficiency, compliance and the customer experience.

In this role, you will:

• Partner Strategically with Senior Product Leadership:Work closely with cross-functional PM leads to shape and align your domain roadmap with N26’s broader company-wide AI strategy, maintaining full autonomy over complex, high-stakes workstreams.
• Drive Measurable Business Impact:Focus on high-impact areas, including automating back-office Operations, enhancing real-time fraud and AML detection (FinCrime), and personalizing B2C customer growth and marketing journeys.
• Own the Production AI Lifecycle:Lead end to end delivery for complex Machine Learning and GenAI initiatives-moving from initial hypothesis, data scoping, and model evaluation harnesses to production deployment and post-launch monitoring.
• Bridge Engineering and Business Strategy:Act as the technical sparring partner for Data Scientists and ML Engineers, translating business constraints into model requirements and ensuring technical architectures solve real consumer and operational problems.
• Balance Velocity with Banking Rigor:Manage day-to-day delivery, maintaining a healthy balance between launching innovative AI capabilities and upholding the strict security, auditability, data privacy, and reliability standards expected of a regulated bank.
• Empower Autonomous AI Adoption:Act as an AI evangelist and platform owner by defining standards, blueprints, and self-service toolkits that allow product squads across N26 to integrate AI capabilities into their own features safely and independently.

What you need to be successful:

Background:

• 5+ years of Product Management experience in a technology-driven environment, with a proven track record of owning and shipping production-grade AI/ML capabilities.
• Real-World GenAI & Agentic Systems Production Experience:Hands-on experience taking GenAI products from concept to live production. You must have direct experience building with concepts like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Agentic workflows (ReAct framework, state/memory management, function-calling), and multi-agent orchestration systems. (Note: Utilizing off-the-shelf AI productivity tools is not sufficient; we require a track record of building customer-facing or platform products powered by AI).
• B2C Domain Scale (Technical Background Preferred):Experience working within high-volume, highly scalable technical domains (such as B2C FinTech, E-Commerce, or high-traffic consumer tech). Note: Pure B2B background with low customer scale does not fit the high-volume requirements of this role.
• Full AI/ML Specialization:Comprehensive expertise navigating the full AI product lifecycle, including problem scoping, target metric definition, data ingestion/labeling, model training/fine-tuning, evaluation framework design, deployment, latency optimization, and continuous retraining.

Skills:

• Traditional ML Foundation + GenAI Evolution:A background grounded in traditional Machine Learning methodologies (classification, regression, ranking/recommendation engines) paired with hands-on expertise in modern LLM architecture.
• Deep Technical Literacy & Architecture Evaluation:Strong grasp of AI technical fundamentals, with the ability to evaluate trade-offs between Large Language Models (LLMs) and deterministic ML/rule-based logic across cost, inference latency, explainability, and accuracy.
• Data-Driven & Model Evaluation Mindset:Proficiency in defining, tracking, and translating offline model evaluation metrics (precision, recall, F1, confidence thresholds, hallucination rates) into tangible business KPIs and operational ROI.
• Cross-Functional & Regulatory Awareness:Strong collaboration skills within Agile environments, coupled with an understanding of financial services constraints (GDPR, data residency, EU AI Act, risk governance, and security controls).

Traits:

• Pragmatic Action Bias:A focus on high-velocity execution and value creation, knowing how to balance model perfection with pragmatic, incremental shipping in a fast-paced environment.
• Production Reliability:Uncompromising standards for system resiliency, ensuring all AI-driven platform features are robust enough for a global banking infrastructure.
• Technical Collaboration:Comfortable speaking the same technical language as Principal Data Scientists and Platform Engineers while translating complex model behavior into clear updates for non-technical leadership.

What’s in it for you:

• Accelerate your career growth by joining one of Europe’s most talked about disruptors.
• Employee benefits that range from a competitive personal development budget, work from home budget, discounts to fitness & wellness memberships, language apps and public transportation.
• As an N26 employee you will have access to a Premium subscription on your personal N26 bank account. As well as subscriptions for friends and family members.
• Additional day of annual leave for each year of service.
• A high degree of autonomy and access to cutting edge technologies - all while working with a friendly team of peers of diverse nationalities, life experiences and backgrounds.
• A relocation package with visa support for those who need it.
