Technical Product Lead AI Finance App

About KIRA Our mission is to make money smart, reliable and within reach for everyone. In 2019, we built the first mobile-first insurance platform accessible online by millions in Southeast Asia. Today, we are expanding to help people in Asia with spending, saving, investing, exchanging, travelling, and more, aiming to build tools for financial self-reliance using AI. The Role KIRA is building an AI Finance Superapp for Southeast Asia covering payments, remittance, insurance, wealth, and trading. These products handle real money, requiring reliability, regulatory compliance, and integration with third-party financial rails. The Technical Product Lead owns a product vertical end-to-end, from strategy and outcomes through technical design, delivery, and launch. AI is used where it genuinely improves outcomes, balanced with deterministic systems for reliability, auditability, and trust. What You'll Own — Own a product vertical end-to-end including strategy, metrics, roadmap, priorities, and delivery. — Shape technical design with engineering across APIs, data flows, ledgering, reconciliation, failure handling, security, and scalability. — Drive trade-offs across correctness, speed, cost, reliability, regulatory requirements, and user experience. — Build regulatory requirements into the product including KYC, transaction monitoring, limits, privacy, and licensing. — Apply AI with clear evaluation, safeguards, human oversight, and failure handling. — Ship products managing external dependencies like regulatory approvals, financial rails, and third-party partners. — Align Engineering, Design, Compliance, Operations, Treasury, and Finance around product decisions and launch requirements. What We're Looking For — 5+ years of product management experience owning complex technical products from strategy through production. — Strong technical foundation in system architecture, APIs, databases, workflows, failure modes, and distributed systems. — Experience working closely with engineers, able to review, challenge, and contribute to technical designs. — Experience in payments, banking, remittance, insurance, trading, or other regulated, high-consequence product domains. — Strong product judgment and ability to make difficult trade-offs under technical, regulatory, and operational constraints. — Experience building with LLMs or AI products, including evaluation, reliability, and understanding when AI should not be used. Nice to Have — Engineering or highly technical product background. — Experience building zero-to-one fintech or consumer products. — Experience defining evaluation frameworks for ML or LLM-powered products. Outcome — Clear vertical strategy and legible roadmap. — Ships fast and clears launch blockers. — Money is correct and users are never misled about their funds. — AI features are valuable, predictable, and trusted. — Trade-offs are deliberate and defensible. — Alignment across engineering, design, compliance, and operations with minimal friction.
