Product Lead (Design, Management, and Engineering)

About the Role We are looking for a highly versatile, "triple-threat" Product Lead to take ownership of Aden’s core product experience. Because we are building deeply technical financial infrastructure for AI, our product surface area spans API design, developer experience (DX), enterprise dashboards, and complex system architecture. This is not a traditional, siloed product management role. You will be the visionary and the executor—prototyping user interfaces, writing technical specifications, prioritizing the roadmap, and rolling up your sleeves to contribute to the codebase when necessary. You will act as the critical nexus between our engineering team, our enterprise clients, and our strategic vision, ensuring that we are not just building powerful infrastructure, but delivering an exceptional, intuitive product experience that accelerates our B2B adoption.

Key Responsibilities

• Product Vision & Strategy: Own the end-to-end product lifecycle for Aden’s platform. Translate high-level strategic goals into a concrete, actionable product roadmap, balancing the need for rapid feature delivery with long-term architectural stability.
• UI/UX & Developer Experience: Design intuitive, powerful interfaces for financial operators and frictionless, elegantly documented APIs for developers. You will wireframe, prototype, and refine user journeys in Figma, obsessing over the details of how users interact with our systems.
• Technical Execution: Bridge the gap between product requirements and engineering implementation. You must be comfortable reading code, understanding our API architecture, making deeply technical product decisions, and occasionally shipping production code to accelerate development.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Orchestrate agile sprints, manage backlogs (Jira/Linear), and lead cross-functional alignment between engineering, sales, and growth teams to ensure successful product launches.
• Customer Discovery: Engage continuously with B2B enterprise customers, technical founders, and developers. Synthesize user feedback, market trends, and technical constraints into highly detailed, engineering-ready product requirement documents (PRDs).
• Metrics & Iteration: Define and track key product metrics (adoption, API latency, error rates, user retention). Use quantitative data and qualitative insights to iterate rapidly and continuously improve the product.

Qualifications

• Experience: 5+ years of experience building and shipping technical B2B SaaS or infrastructure products, with a proven track record of acting in hybrid roles (e.g., Technical PM, Product Designer + Engineer, Founder).
• Technical Acumen: Strong engineering background. Must be able to understand complex system architectures, REST/GraphQL APIs, and modern frontend/backend frameworks (React, Node, Python, etc.).
• Design Skills: Proficiency in UI/UX design tools (Figma) with a strong portfolio showcasing complex, data-heavy dashboard designs or developer tooling interfaces.
• Execution Focus: Exceptional organizational skills and experience running agile engineering processes. A bias toward action and a strong sense of ownership.
• Communication: Elite written and verbal communication skills. Ability to explain highly complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and vice-versa.

Nice to Haves

• Previous experience as a startup founder or early-stage startup employee.
• Domain expertise in payments, ledger systems, venture capital, or financial compliance.
• Familiarity with AI integration, LLM workflows, and data visualization.

What We Offer

• Competitive compensation with meaningful early-stage equity.
• Top-tier healthcare, dental, and vision benefits.
• Unparalleled autonomy and the ability to shape the foundational product of a category-defining company.
• A culture that rewards high agency, deep thinking, and rapid execution.
