Product Architect (Banking Modernization) – Early Founding Role
The Role
We’re partnering with a repeat founding team who are on a mission to modernize core-banking systems across the U.S. banking sector. This is a rare chance to join as Product Architect in a true founding capacity, working directly alongside the founders to define product strategy, engage with enterprise banking stakeholders, and take a 0→1 product to market.
You’ll own the translation of customer pain points into roadmap, run deep-dive workshops with CTOs and enterprise architects, and represent the product across RFPs, conferences, and early-access programs.
Key Responsibilities
We’re looking for someone who combines deep domain expertise in banking technology with the mindset of a builder. You’ll be comfortable navigating legacy banking systems while excited by the opportunity to build something transformative from the ground up.
This is not a typical product role—it’s a chance to join a venture at inception, directly influence the product and company trajectory, and work with founders who’ve successfully built and exited companies before. If you want impact, visibility, and the opportunity to shape a generational fintech product, this is it.
