Technical Product Manager
Early-stage fintech · London (hybrid)
A fast-moving London fintech startup is hiring its first dedicated product person. The company is live, has real customers, and is scaling quickly. You would join a small founding team of around ten people. Ex-operators who move fast and ship real things.
It's less a strategy role, more a building role. You will define what gets built and then build a meaningful part of it yourself. The output is working software in the hands of real customers, no decks or handoffs.
What you will own
- The roadmap: translating commercial priorities and customer reality into a sequenced, defensible plan across multiple product surfaces.
- The build: prototyping and shipping real features with AI: UI, internal tooling, integration glue, from idea to working code.
- The specs: requirements, edge cases, and acceptance criteria sharp enough that engineering moves fast and rarely reworks.
- Architecture conversations: sitting with engineers on system design and technical trade-offs, holding your own and contributing meaningfully.
- Delivery: backlog, blockers, and Jira, driven all the way to launch.
- Partner integrations: scoping API and integration work with third parties into clean, shippable pieces.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Who thrives here
- You ship code. Real features, merged. You can read a schema, reason about an API, and build with AI fluently.
- You think like an engineer. You hold your own in a system-design conversation and work with engineers on architecture, not around them.
- You have taste in what to build. You say no well, sequence ruthlessly, and ship the right thing rather than everything.
- You have around 2–5 years in product, engineering, or technical roles and take autonomy before it is offered.
- You have taken something from 0 to 1, ideally a product that reached real users.

Technical baseline (important)
- A background in full-stack, front-end, or back-end engineering before moving into product.
- Hands-on experience with Python, JavaScript, SQL, or similar.
- Comfort querying databases, reading and reasoning about APIs, and understanding system architecture.
- Side projects, open-source contributions, or personal builds are a bonus.
Why this role is unusual
- First product hire: you will shape how the function is built from scratch.
- Build something on Monday, watch a real customer use it by Friday.
- Work directly with the founders day-to-day.
- Meaningful equity at an early stage with strong commercial traction.
- A technically complex surface: payments, hardware, biometrics — where the constraints are real and the decisions matter.
