About Finster AI

We’re a Series A stage firm, redefining the future of finance with our AI-native research and task automation platform, backed by leading, global venture investors. Founded by a team of experts from Google DeepMind, Meta AI, and J.P. Morgan, Finster AI provides cutting-edge solutions to help finance professionals unlock unique insights with greater efficiency and accuracy.

We are seeking a talented and technically-minded Product Owner to join our growing team and help shape the development of our platform and core infrastructure as we continue to push the boundaries of AI in Finance. 

Role Overview

We’re looking for a Senior Product Owner to lead the translation of product strategy into clear, actionable priorities for our backend and platform engineering teams.

You will be responsible for ensuring that engineering teams are focused on the highest-impact work, that technical decisions are thoughtfully challenged, and that delivery timelines remain clear and realistic.

Working closely with backend engineers, infrastructure teams, and product leadership, you will own the engineering backlog and ensure that complex technical initiatives are broken down into well-scoped, deliverable workstreams. You will act as the bridge between product strategy and engineering execution, ensuring that the platform evolves in a scalable, reliable, and commercially aligned way.

Responsibilities

• Translate product and company strategy into a clear, actionable roadmap for backend and platform engineering teams

• Own and prioritise the engineering backlog, balancing product needs, technical dependencies, infrastructure improvements, and scalability requirements

• Work closely with backend and platform engineers to refine technical requirements, challenge assumptions, and ensure the best architectural decisions are made

• Break down complex technical initiatives into clear tickets and milestones that engineering teams can execute against

• Facilitate planning, backlog refinement and retrospectives for engineering teams

• Ensure engineering priorities are clearly defined, timelines are realistic, and delivery remains aligned with broader product goals

• Act as a key interface between product, engineering, and leadership, helping translate technical progress and trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders

• Monitor delivery progress, identify blockers early, and work with engineering leadership to keep projects on track

• Continuously evaluate platform performance, scalability, and technical debt to inform prioritisation decisions

Who You Are

• 5+ years of experience as a Technical Product Owner, Technical Product Manager, or Engineering-focused Product role

• Strong experience working directly with backend, infrastructure, or platform engineering teams

• Comfortable discussing system architecture, APIs, data flows, and technical trade-offs with engineers

• Proven ability to prioritise complex technical workstreams while balancing product, infrastructure, and business needs

• Excellent organisational and communication skills, able to translate between technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Experience working in fast-paced startup or scale-up environments

• Familiarity with modern product delivery and engineering tooling (Linear, GitHub, Datadog, etc.)

Nice-to-haves

• Experience working on AI, data platforms, or highly technical SaaS infrastructure

• Familiarity with distributed systems, data pipelines, or API-driven platforms

• Interest or background in fintech, financial services, or quantitative products

Opportunities

• Opportunity to shape the technical foundations of a high-growth AI company

• Direct influence on platform strategy and engineering priorities

• Collaborative, fast-moving team with deep expertise across AI, engineering, and finance
