Technical Product Manager

Technical Product Manager Early-stage fintech · London (hybrid) A fast-moving London fintech startup is hiring its first dedicated product person. The company is live, has real customers, and is scaling quickly. You would join a small founding team of around ten people. Ex-operators who move fast and ship real things. It's less a strategy role, more a building role. You will define what gets built and then build a meaningful part of it yourself. The output is working software in the hands of real customers, no decks or handoffs. What you will own The roadmap: translating commercial priorities and customer reality into a sequenced, defensible plan across multiple product surfaces.The build: prototyping and shipping real features with AI: UI, internal tooling, integration glue, from idea to working code.The specs: requirements, edge cases, and acceptance criteria sharp enough that engineering moves fast and rarely reworks.Architecture conversations: sitting with engineers on system design and technical trade-offs, holding your own and contributing meaningfully.Delivery: backlog, blockers, and Jira, driven all the way to launch.Partner integrations: scoping API and integration work with third parties into clean, shippable pieces. Who thrives here You ship code. Real features, merged. You can read a schema, reason about an API, and build with AI fluently.You think like an engineer. You hold your own in a system-design conversation and work with engineers on architecture, not around them.You have taste in what to build. You say no well, sequence ruthlessly, and ship the right thing rather than everything.You have around 2–5 years in product, engineering, or technical roles and take autonomy before it is offered.You have taken something from 0 to 1, ideally a product that reached real users. Technical baseline (important): A background in full-stack, front-end, or back-end engineering before moving into product.Hands-on experience with Python, JavaScript, SQL, or similar.Comfort querying databases, reading and reasoning about APIs, and understanding system architecture.Side projects, open-source contributions, or personal builds are a bonus. Why this role is unusual First product hire: you will shape how the function is built from scratch.Build something on Monday, watch a real customer use it by Friday.Work directly with the founders day-to-day.Meaningful equity at an early stage with strong commercial traction.A technically complex surface: payments, hardware, biometrics — where the constraints are real and the decisions matter.
