Role purpose

The Technical Product Management job is accountable for enabling the technical development and run-time operation of products and services within a Product Group or a set of development teams.

Main activities

• End-to-end delivery and run support: Provide hands-on support across the full lifecycle (inception → build → test → release → run), flexing between software development, testing, and operational support based on demand.
• Product/service ownership: Take end-to-end accountability for a product or service, shaping and delivering the most appropriate technology solutions to meet customer needs across the customer journey .
• Direction-setting and stakeholder alignment: Liaise with engineers, architects, and business stakeholders to understand priorities, manage dependencies, and help drive the product/service roadmap and technical direction.
• Engineering excellence through automation: Establish a strong digital engineering environment and automate processes to reduce variation and deliver predictable, high-quality code and data (standards, templates, pipelines, quality gates).
• Quality engineering and test automation: Create and maintain technical test plans and evidence (unit, integration, regression, performance as needed) within automated test environments to ensure quality is built in.
• DevOps enablement across releases/changes: Support DevOps teams through all stages of release/change with a strong customer focus, ensuring excellent domain knowledge and smooth delivery.
• Operational readiness and defect prevention: Work with Ops, Dev, and Test Engineers to identify and address operational issues early (performance, alerting, operator intervention, design defects) throughout release/change.
• Incident and problem management: Support identification and resolution of incidents for the IT service, contributing to triage, restoration, root-cause analysis, and preventative fixes as directed by DevOps leadership.
• Resilience and recoverability: Ensure service resilience, sustainability, and RTO/RPO expectations are met, including failover, capacity, and recovery testing where applicable.
• CI/CD ownership and continuous improvement: Automate and continuously improve the CI/CD pipeline , driving a culture of continuous improvement and measurable engineering outcomes.
• Security, regulation, and risk: Stay current on tools/technologies and maintain strong awareness of cyber security and relevant regulations (e.g., data privacy, consent, data residency), applying them in design and delivery.

• AI-enabled engineering and delivery (added):
• Identify AI opportunities to improve customer journeys, engineering productivity, testing, and operations (e.g., smarter incident triage, log analysis, test generation).
• Integrate AI capabilities safely (via approved services/APIs), with appropriate guardrails, monitoring, and fallbacks.
• Use approved AI tools to accelerate development and documentation while validating outputs and maintaining quality/security controls.
• Apply Responsible AI practices (data handling, privacy, explainability, monitoring, auditability) in line with applicable HSBC governance and FIM guidance.

Specialist Engineer – skills required

Core engineering

• Strong software engineering fundamentals (design, clean code, performance, maintainability).
• Ability to work across dev/test/run and switch focus quickly based on delivery needs.
• CI/CD, automation, and DevOps practices (pipelines, quality gates, deployment strategies).
• Observability and production support (monitoring, alerting, troubleshooting, RCA).
• Resilience engineering (capacity, failover patterns, recovery objectives).

Quality and testing

• Test strategy and automation (unit/integration, test data, environments, evidence).
• Defect prevention mindset and operational readiness validation.

Security and regulatory awareness

• Secure engineering practices, vulnerability management, and control-minded delivery.
• Working knowledge of privacy/consent/data residency requirements relevant to the service.

Collaboration and ownership

• Stakeholder management, clear communication, and strong domain knowledge.
• End-to-end accountability, continuous improvement, and customer-centric decision-making.

Regulatory skills

• Strong understanding of Mexican payments regulation relevant to SPEI/SPID and audit expectations
• Ability to translate compliance into technical requirements and measurable controls
• Experience managing multi-party audits and producing defensible evidence
• Knowledge of technology controls: IAM, cryptography, logging/SIEM, vulnerability management, SDLC/change, resilience/DR
• Excellent stakeholder management: able to influence across teams and drive timely delivery

Success measures (examples)

• Audit findings reduced and remediations closed on time
• Evidence produced quickly, consistently, and passes challenge
• Controls operate on schedule (access reviews, DR tests, monitoring SLAs)
• Fewer compliance-related incidents and smoother releases
• If you share (1) your seniority level (analyst/manager/lead), (2) whether it’s more governance or hands-on technical , and (3) the main stakeholders (Ops/Cyber/Vendors), she/he can tailor this into a one-page JD or a CV-ready version.
