Our client is building a next-generation banking platform from the ground up, designed for a world where human intent and AI execution converge. The team operates with a unique, async-first workflow that blends deep human expertise with AI agents to ship real banking software at extraordinary speed.\nThe Role\nYou have built fintech or banking products as an engineer. You have stepped into product thinking. Now you want to do both-at AI speed.\nThis is not traditional product management; this is a Product Builder role. The candidate will define what to build, describe it with extreme precision, and work alongside AI agents that turn specifications into production code. The primary output is not meetings or Jira tickets; it is clear, rigorous documentation and use of the latest AI tools that becomes the product at 5x the speed of other startups.\nWhat You’ll Do\nOwn product roadmap for banking and financial integrations\nDesign and prototype banking features (payments, compliance, flows) using AI tools\nWrite high-fidelity specifications that humans and AI agents execute\nMake real-time architectural decisions and validate AI-generated code\nPartner with legal, compliance, and operations teams on regulatory requirements\nCommunicate primarily through memos and documentation, not meetings\nWhy Writing Is the Core Skill:\nIn this workflow, language is leverage.\nClear specifications and AI prompts unlock exponential speed and build quality. Ambiguity kills it.\nYou'll Thrive here If you:\nRewrite sentences until they perfectly capture nuance\nEnjoy describing user experience, edge cases, and systems in painful detail\nBelieve documentation should be the source of truth\nWhat We’re Looking For:\nRequired\n5+ years engineering experience in banking or fintech (non-negotiable)\n3+ years in product, business, operations, or hybrid roles\nStrong understanding of distributed systems and APIs\nAbility to prototype and review AI-generated code\nPreferred\nFounder or side-project experience\nShipped developer-facing products or APIs\nLong-form writing experience (10,000+ word documents, specifications, essays)\nObsession with precision in language\nActively experimenting with AI tools to build software\nExperience at least one fast-growing Fintech or LegalTech startup\nHow We Build (AI-Native Workflow)\n1. Write a detailed specification\n2. AI agents generate code, designs, and documentation\n3. Review a short demo video\n4. Approve → Pull requests and deploys are created automatically\nYou'll Thrive Here\nAsync-first thinkers who prefer writing over talking\nLow-ego builders who ship early and iterate fast\nSelf-directed operators who do not need hand-holding\nContrarians who believe meetings are usually a bug\nThis Role Is NOT for You If You…\nPrefer calls over writing\nNeed heavy external structure or daily check-ins\nWant rigid role boundaries (“just PM” or “just engineer”)\nAre skeptical of AI-driven development\nDo your best work only in offices\nWhat We Offer\nCompetitive salary + meaningful equity\nProfit sharing tied to AI workflows that save resources\nFully remote, async-first environment\nTime flexibility (including fractional work options)\nCulture of low ego, high trust, fast shipping\nInterview Process (Async-Friendly)\n1. Application + written questions\n2. Spec-writing exercise (used to generate real AI output)\n3. Technical and product deep dive\n4. Language & AI assessment\n5. Culture and team conversations\nBefore You Apply Ask yourself:\nDoes AI-driven product building excite me?\nDo I enjoy writing more than meetings?\nAm I comfortable being “ruined for the ordinary”?\nIf yes, we’d love to meet you.\nAbout the Client\nThe client is building an AI-native banking platform-designed from the ground up for a world where humans write intent and AI builds execution. The teams are a mix of humans and AI agents, operating async, moving fast, and shipping real banking software today (not theory). If you believe clarity of thinking matters more than lines of code, you will feel at home here.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4068,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Recruiting & Staffing","HR & Recruiting AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-02-26T00:00:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.33,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":226,"expected_fill_days":37,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-10T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/rockstar-technical-product-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/rockstar-technical-product-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-11T01:53:55Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2829,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":2171,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3564},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3564"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Frockstar-technical-product-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Frockstar-technical-product-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Frockstar-technical-product-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/rockstar-technical-product-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Frockstar-technical-product-engineer"}]}
