About Easy Pay Direct & EPD Commerce
Commerce is entering a New Era...
• Agentic Commerce will facilitate AI agents buying and selling.• Our new platform, EPD Commerce is at the forefront of this wave.• It connects products, checkout, subscriptions, payments, revenue recovery, and agentic flows in one system.• Business owners can talk to their transaction data, ask their own AI agent about their business, and have that agent take action on their behalf.
Over the last 14 years, Easy Pay Direct has helped more than 100,000 businesses accept payments, navigate complex processing requirements, and grow.That experience is the foundation for EPD Commerce, our AI-powered commerce platform.
Based in East Austin, we're founder-led and 100% founder-owned.Without outside investors, we have the independence to move quickly, invest for the long term, and build around the needs of the businesses we serve.
Joining our team means helping build the next generation of commerce on the foundation of an established payments business.You’ll work on real problems for real business owners, with the opportunity to shape both what we build and how we build it.
Our mission is to make running a business easier, so merchants can spend less time managing systems and more time serving their customers and generating revenue.
Why Join Us
We're a high-performing, collaborative team that values ownership, initiative, and continuous improvement. Here, your fingerprints are on the product, leadership knows your name, and your work shapes the future of the company. You'll help launch a new platform from the start, not maintain someone else's.
If you know payments, including authorizations, gateways, recurring billing, chargebacks, and the challenges merchants face every day, you'll see why this matters. You'll also see where your experience fits in.
About the Role
Easy Pay Direct is looking for a Product Manager to take ownership of our product ecosystem: our Onboarding Platform and EPD Commerce (our new AI-powered commerce platform). The two are separate offerings that work hand in hand. You'll help shape how they grow, connect, and deliver value to merchants.
This isn't a role where you'll inherit a backlog and simply manage tickets. You'll work directly with engineering, sales, customer success, and company leadership to determine what gets built, why it matters, and how it creates value for merchants.
Reporting directly to the CTO, you'll play a key role in shaping product strategy, defining priorities, and driving execution. There is no CPO or Director of Product layer above this role, giving you meaningful ownership and visibility from day one.
We're looking for someone who can take over many of the product responsibilities currently handled by company leadership and help build a scalable product function as the company grows.
AI is becoming a core part of modern product management, and we're looking for someone who actively leverages AI tools to move faster, make better decisions, and improve how products are built.
