Lead Product Engineer (B2B FinTech Venture Studio)

Bifrost Studios has launched a venture studio that builds FinTech solutions for the global investment industry, including hedge funds, asset managers, and banks. We have partnered with a leading investment research and data firm who have direct access to 55 of the world’s 100 largest investment firms.

This role reports directly to the CEO, a highly successful Founder with a background from distinguished ventures and companies like McKinsey and Rocket Internet.

As the Lead Product Engineer, you will be at the forefront of creating innovative products from the ground up. Your responsibilities will include:

• Build functional MVPs quickly based on minimal information. Own the entire development cycle end-to-end, focusing on fast, iterative releases rather than perfection.
• Ship features and updates at high velocity. Prioritize speed and adopt a hacker mentality to problem-solving.
• Take part in validation processes, contributing technical knowledge about feasibility and potential solutions. Your commercial understanding, preferably from a side-hustle or entrepreneurial experience, will help bridge business needs with technical possibilities.
• Turn MVPs into minimal lovable products once they’re validated. Refine user experiences and ensure the product is robust enough for wider testing and adoption.
• Onboard and hand over minimal lovable products to dedicated engineering teams once they are ready to scale, ensuring a smooth transition of knowledge and codebase.
• Utilize AI, No-Code, and Low-Code tools to maximize development speed. Leverage emerging technologies to rapidly prototype and iterate on product ideas.

• Full-stack engineer with a proven track record of building entire products from scratch, with a focus on hands-on coding rather than management.
• Strong hacker mentality and problem-solving skill set: skilled at scrappy, creative solutions in a high-speed, high-impact environment.
• Business/commercial understanding, ideally demonstrated through a side project or entrepreneurial endeavor, enabling you to align technical solutions with market demands.
• Experience leading other engineers (e.g., Eng. Lead or Eng. Manager), with the ability to guide teams while staying close to the code.
• Exposure to AI, No-Code, and Low-Code frameworks, using these tools to achieve faster shipping frequencies and reduce time-to-market.

• An opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a future category leader in the global investments space.
• The chance to work with a team of seasoned entrepreneurs who have founded more than 30 companies between them.
• A de-risked startup journey with access to 55 institutional logos
• A path to equity in the businesses we build through the venture studio.
