Product Lead (Strategy + Full Stack - Leading Crypto Comparison Platform)
First seen by Alion on Sep 12, 2026.
Do you want to join the company behind Northern Europe's largest crypto and stock market comparison platforms? Do you want to own the product roadmap end to end and build it yourself? Do you want to decide what we build next as we expand globally?
We're looking for a hands-on Product Lead to join our small but driven 100% remote team. This is a rare hybrid role: roughly 60% product leadership (roadmap, prioritization, specs, analytics) and 40% full stack development. You'll work alongside our full-stack web developer, and as we expand the Product Team, your focus will shift increasingly toward product and team leadership, running 1-on-1s, recruiting, and building your own team to improve our products, with a clear path toward Head of Product.
Who are Optimizee Group?
Optimizee Group has been delivering results for 450+ partners worldwide through financial comparison platforms since 2017. Our portfolio includes CryptoRunner.com (the largest cryptocurrency comparison platform in Northern Europe), InvestoRunner.com (the largest stock market comparison platform in Sweden), and CreditRunner.com (a new credit card comparison platform launching soon).
Our mission is to build the world's biggest and most trusted portfolio of financial comparison platforms, helping millions of people make better financial decisions. To date, we've generated over 8 million views and delivered more than 1.8 million referrals to our partners. With approximately 44,000 monthly active users and 35,000+ subscribers, you'll have a strong existing audience and foundation to build on.
In 2026, we relaunched our websites on fully custom-built platforms, replacing our previous WordPress setup (see full tech stack below). The new platforms are connected to our in-house admin system, with integrations to multiple AI models and third-party API providers, giving us greater flexibility, scalability, and control as we grow. AI is deeply integrated into the admin system and across development, content, and operations. Over the past year we've shipped 970+ updates, and our product backlog holds 350+ tasks. Your job: review our platforms and product backlog, decide what to prioritize, and turn ideas into new features - with direct support from the founder, a former web developer who built our first platforms line by line.

Responsibilities:

Lead and grow the product team - manage team members, run 1-on-1s and performance reviews, and take part in recruitment as we scale

Make data-first decisions - turn user data, market insights, and analytics into actions that move traffic, conversion, and revenue per visitor

A track record you can show - live products, sites, or projects you've built or led, and the ability to walk us through the decisions behind them
Strong backend, database, and architecture skills - data accuracy is critical to us, as we track and report statistics to 450+ partners
Proven product ownership with commercial instincts - you've decided what to build, not just built what was decided, and you understand how those decisions translate into revenue
Independent and async-first - you drive your own work in a small remote team and document decisions clearly in writing
Genuine interest in cryptocurrencies, investing, and personal finance - and high standards for what a great comparison platform looks like

Infrastructure: Linux VPS with Nginx and PHP-FPM, automated deploys via GitHub Actions
