Role Overview

We are seeking passionate and driven product engineers to lead product domains within KIRA's AI Finance portfolio.

• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, design, data analytics, operations, compliance, and business teams.
• Simplify intricate financial products into intuitive and seamless customer experiences.
• Utilize data, user feedback, research insights, and production monitoring to inform product enhancements.

• Balance priorities among speed, user experience, business impact, regulatory compliance, and operational complexity.

• Demonstrated experience as a Product Manager, Product Owner, founder, growth/product operator, or similar role.
• Excellent product intuition with the ability to distill complicated workflows into simple solutions.
• Proven capability to work closely with engineers and designers to deliver tangible products.
• Comfortable analyzing metrics, gathering user feedback, running experiments, and learning post-launch.
• Strong skills in writing, prioritization, and managing diverse stakeholders.
• High degree of ownership with the capacity to drive initiatives independently.
• Experience in fintech, insurance, payments, consumer apps, or fast-growth product environments is advantageous.

The Ideal Builder

• Approaches challenges by focusing on user needs rather than just feature lists.
• Confident making informed decisions despite incomplete information.
• Experienced in shipping products quickly and iterating based on feedback.
• Collaborates effectively with engineering teams without relying excessively on formal processes.
• Transparent about contributions and willing to acknowledge collective team efforts.

Who Should Not Apply

• PMs unable to engage directly and deeply with engineering teams.
• Candidates reliant on perfect data before decision-making.
• Those who launch features but do not continue to support or improve them.
• Product managers who overstate business impacts without accurate understanding of causality.

Work Location

This is a fully remote position; however, applicants must be based in Singapore since the role targets the Singapore market. English is the primary language across all global teams, so strong proficiency in English communication is essential.

Recruitment Process

The hiring process is designed for efficiency and aims to conclude within one week from the beginning of interviews for strong candidates. Stages include an online assessment or practical task, a role-specific interview, and a final discussion with the CEO. Prompt completion of assessments will be prioritized.
