Who you are

What the job involves
- We are looking for a Technical Program Manager that has prior experience as a software engineer to handle areas of project management for our team
- Work closely with the engineering and product management teams to cost, manage and track all aspects of development
- Be the voice of project management in daily team meetings to communicate status of tasks, builds and milestones
- Create and maintain tracking calendars and plans that serve the entire organization
- Work closely with engineering leadership to create development plans that take into consideration resources, dependencies and complexities of tasks

Our take
Just like the name, Fast want to make logging in quicker and speed up the checkout process when shopping online.
Billions of transactions happen online every day and with each e-commerce platform often requiring their own log-in, passwords, and prompt for entering the same billing details each time, this is a tedious and repetitive process.
Fast aim to tackle this problem and have developed a short, 'optimised checkout' form that asks for five pieces of information (email, name, phone number, address and credit card information). Those credentials are securely stored so that when a user sees the option to use Fast, they know they can speed though the process without having to re-enter information.
With backing from Stripe (the largest and fastest growing player in payments), its payments-and-login solutions have the potential to be a major player helping to streamline people's digital entity online.
