Lead Product Engineer

How You'll Make an Impact

• Own the Platform Strategy: Drive the multi-quarter roadmap for FinQuery’s core platform capabilities. Ensure our shared services, data models, and integrations scale seamlessly to support our suite of financial products.
• Orchestrate Agentic AI Frameworks: Define the business logic, triggers, and guardrails for automated AI workflows. Map out how AI agents interact with our systems to automate complex financial accounting bottlenecks.
• Design Platform Interoperability: Map out clean data flows, API requirements, and Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) exception-handling workflows that unify user experiences across lease accounting, SaaS management, and financial subledgers.
• Master Context Engineering: Treat product specifications and system documentation as a form of architecture. Structure high-clarity feature definitions and system constraints specifically optimized to guide technical teams and AI-assisted development tools.
• Partner Deeply with Engineering: Act as a peer to our core technical architects. Collaborate on technical trade-offs, schema designs, and performance requirements without writing the code yourself.

The Expertise You'll Bring

• The Product Foundation: 5+ years of experience in a product management role (Product Manager, Product Owner, or Systems Analyst) managing platform infrastructure, shared services, or multi-tenant B2B SaaS environments.
• High Technical Literacy: Deeply comfortable discussing system architecture. Understand relational database concepts (SQL), API structures (REST/GraphQL), and how data moves through a cloud-based (AWS) environment.
• Agentic & AI Fluency: Active curiosity and comfort using LLMs, prompt engineering, and workflow automation tools. Leverage AI as a force multiplier to accelerate product scoping and data mapping.
• Systems Thinking: Proven track record of looking at product challenges holistically; understanding how a change in a core database or platform layer impacts multiple downstream applications and users.

Nice To Haves

• Experience working in FinTech, accounting technology, or platforms dealing with strict compliance frameworks.
• Experience defining developer-experience (DX) standards or internal platform tools.

What Great Looks Like Here

• Extreme Agency: Operate with a founder’s mindset. Proactively identify architectural gaps in the platform, sketch out the data flow, and align engineering to build it.
• Translational Brilliance: Sit with a technical accountant to understand a complex compliance standard, map it out as a logical system flow, and explain the architecture clearly to a developer.
• Platform-First Mindset: Reject one-off feature requests in favor of scalable, reusable horizontal platform solutions that benefit the entire ecosystem.
