Location: New York, United States

Company

hirify.global is a cross-border fintech serving immigrant and diaspora communities across emerging markets, building digital financial services for millions of customers.

What you will do

• Partner with Product to own adoption, retention, and customer financial-life outcomes.
• Turn hypotheses into live experiments within weeks, build POCs, instrument products, analyze results, and recommend whether to kill or scale initiatives.
• Identify unmet customer needs through customer insights, data, and market analysis.
• Lead successful experiments into production-quality products while maintaining reliability, security, and compliance standards.
• Set technical direction, contribute code, and collaborate across the company to launch experiments and share learnings.
• Hire, coach, and retain a small, high-leverage team of product-minded engineers.

Requirements

• Experience building user-facing products and the services behind them, with end-to-end ownership from backend through the user experience.
• Demonstrated ability to rapidly build experiments that test real hypotheses, including deciding which initiatives to stop; experience limited to long-horizon builds is not a fit.
• 0-to-1 product or business-building experience at Series B–E companies or within a larger company.
• Experience shipping products in regulated environments and treating compliance as a design constraint from the start.
• Commercial judgment, including evaluating the business case before designing the architecture while maintaining a high engineering standard.
• Ability to lead and grow a team while remaining technically hands-on; this is not a fully management-only role.
• Ability to become productive quickly in the existing stack; experience with every listed technology is not required.

Culture & Benefits

• Full-time role within a fast-growing, global fintech organization.
• Work alongside colleagues across 50+ nationalities and 50+ languages.
• Values include ownership, impact, humility, candid communication, practical problem-solving, and positive energy.
• Inclusive, equal-opportunity workplace that encourages applications from underrepresented communities.
• Reasonable adjustments are available during the recruitment process.
