This role isn’t a standard, fixed-domain position; it is the launchpad for a career-defining journey. You will start your journey in Core Banking, learning the absolute guts of a bank, including ledgers and accounting. As you master these fundamentals and our organisation continues to scale, you will need the flexibility to pivot and support other domains, such as payments, savings, and lending, to meet business needs.

• Execution Track Record: Experience managing your own time effectively, meeting deadlines, and delivering well‑scoped tasks with some guidance.
• Educational Foundation: A relevant bachelor’s degree (or equivalent educational background) with a foundation in Maths or STEM subjects, would be desirable.

• Navigating Ambiguity: You are entirely comfortable working in an environment where the starting point is clear but the long‑term path is undefined. You stay grounded through shifting priorities, view an evolving landscape as a learning opportunity, and thrive within a flat structure.
• Backlog & Ticket Management: You can write clean, detailed, and unambiguous user stories and requirements issues with explicit acceptance criteria.
• Technical Literacy: You understand the basic architectural stack of a product area (e.g., frontend vs. backend, what an API does) and enjoy getting into the technical details with engineers.
• Basic Data Analysis: You are competent with (or ready to quickly master) product analytics tools (e.g., Mixpanel, Amplitude, PostHog) to track feature usage and leverage quantitative data alongside user feedback to make small‑scale trade‑offs.
• Clear Communication & Stakeholder Management: You can clearly explain the "what", "how", and "why" behind the immediate feature backlog to your engineering and design triad, and you confidently flag blockers early to your manager.
• Active Listening & Coachability: You place a heavy focus on self‑development; you actively seek out feedback, take structured notes, and demonstrate visible behavioural changes based on input.
• Dependability & Handling Ambiguity: You are highly dependable, deliver assigned tasks on time, and remain comfortable navigating ambiguity within a flat, fast‑moving team structure.
