About the Role

Float is building the future of Canadian financial services — scaling a credit business powered by modern, innovative underwriting and monitoring infrastructure that will unlock new digital-first credit and financial products for Canadian businesses. Fraud detection, AML compliance, payments operations, and dispute resolution already run on this decisioning backbone today. What’s missing is a single owner.

As the founding Product Manager for Credit & Risk Engineering, you’ll turn this shared decisioning and monitoring layer into a truly owned product: fast, accurate, and relentlessly efficient as volume scales. You’ll sit at the intersection of Float’s credit roadmap and growth funnel, sequencing a small engineering team across real infrastructure debt and a flagship new build — the FlexLine decisioning engine — while ensuring the systems you own keep Float’s day-to-day risk operations safe and scalable.

What You'll Do

Own the roadmap and sequencing for the Credit & Risk Engineering squad across three domains — starting with the trade-off between paying down risk infrastructure debt and building the FlexLine decisioning engine.

Own the decisioning and automation systems that drive KYB/KYC approval speed and accuracy, delivered so Float's risk operations team can hit its approval-time targets.

Own the tooling behind fraud detection, AML compliance, payments operations, and dispute resolution — daily infrastructure the company already depends on.

Own risk decision operating cost per account as your team's primary efficiency metric, proving the systems scale without proportional headcount growth.

Own the in-app credit experiences — applying for credit, viewing balances and limits, setting up repayments — and their target speed, in support of Float's credit product roadmap.

Be the standing source of truth on where the credit product roadmap ends and credit-engineering scope begins, in ongoing partnership with the GM of Credit.
