Vice President, Product and Solutions Engineering

Zeta solves hard problems for financial institutions. We assemble solutions from our processing, issuing, payments, lending, core, and digital banking platforms to answer a problem an institution could not solve with what it already owns.

Every processor now says modern, API-first, and cloud-native, so the words no longer separate vendors. Buyers compare proof, and each alternative asks them to accept a compromise: a provider too old to move fast, one too new to trust with credit, or a program that is never really theirs.

This role joins two jobs that are usually split. The first is product: deciding which solutions go to banks, sponsor banks, and fintechs, how they are packaged and priced, and what gets built next. The second is solutions engineering: discovery, target architecture, proofs, and defending the design through architecture, security, and procurement review.

You hold both jobs with equal weight: product owner for a defined portfolio of solutions, and the person who proves them in the room. You own the strategy for your solutions and the case for what the platform builds next, and you keep every deal from becoming a custom build. This is a hands-on, 0 to 1 role with no team at the start but requires mentoring and working teams of engineers and product managers.
