About the role
Requirements:
- 6-8 years in product, with at least one consumer product you took from a blank page to something people genuinely loved and used. Fintech preferred.
- You tradebroking or active F& O, with your own money on the line. You've felt the gap between what your app showed you and what you actually needed to know.
- You see the layer underneath. Implied vol, Greeks, skew, payoff structure well enough to argue about them, not just define them.
- Obsessive about simplification. You can take IV skew or gamma exposure and make it land for someone who started trading last month, without flattening it into something wrong.
- End-to-end ownership. You write the spec, sit with the designer, argue with the engineer, and watch the funnel after ship. No handoffs, no throwing it over the wall.
- Comfortable in the data. You pull your own numbers, define your own metrics, and know the difference between a real signal and a nice-looking dashboard.
- Judgment on what not to build. At 0-to-1 the cut list matters more than the roadmap. Bonus Points
- You've been early at a 0-to-1 startup. You know what it costs, and you want to do it again.
- You've shipped AI/LLM-powered products to real users and dealt with the evaluation, latency, trust, and hallucination problems that show up after the demo.
- You've worked inside a broker, exchange, or trading platform.
- Design sensibility strong enough to sketch the flow yourself before anyone opens Figma.
- You've built specifically for the Indian retail audience and understand how differently they think.
