Job Description

This is a 0 1 product role that requires genuine technical depth. You will take lending ideas from what if to the first disbursed loan and you will build most of it yourself.
you'll write the spec and the first version of the code.
There are no handoffs, no backlogs to inherit, and no engineers to delegate to. You are the engineer, the builder. You will own the full stack of decisions: define the problem, design the experience, build the prototype, integrate the APIs, run the experiment, and recommend whether to scale or kill.
We are not looking for a PM who can dabble in code. We are looking for someone who is technically strong enough to ship independently and product-minded enough to know the experience they want to create. As part of a small focused team, you will help shape the product ideas and then implement the same. You can assume you will have an army of AI agents if
desired.

Responsibilities

Evaluate new lending product ideas: research the market, score the opportunity, and recommend whether to experiment
Design borrower experiences end-to-end flows, screens, edge cases, communication
Build functional prototypes and MVPs using code, AI-assisted tools, or a combination
Set success metrics and kill metrics before each experiment starts and honour them
Run small-cohort experiments, collect data, and write crisp recommendations
Own the tooling and integrations needed to disburse, track, and collect for each product
Work with the Lending Lab Head on experiment prioritisation and portfolio decisions

Qualifications

2 4 years of experience with a strong technical foundation you have writtenproduction code and are comfortable owning a full-stack implementation independently
You have independently built and shipped something a product, app, tool, or sideproject with real users. We will ask to see it.
Strong with modern development tools and AI-assisted coding (Cursor, Lovable, or similar) you use these to move faster, not as a substitute for engineering depth
Product instincts to match the technical ability you can identify a real user problem, design the solution, and know when to stop building
Comfortable integrating third-party APIs, setting up backend logic, and owning the full borrower journey from frontend to data store
Comfortable with ambiguity and kill decisions when data says stop, you stop
Startup experience strongly preferred especially if you've been an early engineer, a founding engineer, or built your own product
Experience in fintech or lending is a plus, not a requirement
Based in Bangalore (remote-first, with occasional in-person when needed)
