Technical PM at KIRA - Remote Fintech Role — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
Remote-First, Global Hire: This role is explicitly fully remote with no office requirement, and KIRA hires globally across multiple countries and time zones. That's a strong green flag for digital nomads — there's no country restriction listed, meaning you're free to work from wherever you have a solid connection and can collaborate across Southeast Asian time zones (UTC+7 to UTC+9 being the core operating window).
Timezone Flexibility: While no fixed hours are stated, the team operates across SEA and potentially Europe/Americas. Expect some overlap with Southeast Asian business hours (UTC+7 to UTC+9). From popular nomad hubs: Lisbon (UTC+1) would require some late evenings; Bangkok (UTC+7) is ideal; Medellín (UTC-5) would likely require early mornings for key syncs. Bangkok is clearly the most friction-free base for this role.
Visa Considerations: Since Germany is hinted as a hire location, German freelancers/contractors may be particularly well-positioned. EU citizens also have wide flexibility. For non-EU nomads, Thailand's LTR visa or Digital Nomad visa (available in 60+ countries now) are worth exploring if you want to base yourself in SEA — which also aligns culturally with KIRA's focus market.
Nomad-Friendly Perks: No explicit coworking allowance or equipment stipend is mentioned. No salary is disclosed, so cost-of-living arbitrage potential is unknown. Confirm comp expectations early in the process.
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, enabling insurance to be accessible online by millions in the region. Today, it's the leading insurance platform in Southeast Asia.
Today, we are expanding ways to help people in Asia — including spending, saving, investing, exchanging, travelling, and more. Our objective is to build tools that will help people get more from their money and, with ease and self-reliance, become an expert. We believe AI will help us achieve this in our generation.
We are looking for the most talented and driven people we can find — people who work for their passion, not counting hours; who love building great next-generation products, not the status quo; who care about redefining how everyone around us can get the best financial applications, not just an exclusive few.
We have teams working around the world, with over 20 nationalities, working from our offices and remotely. Join us and build a better future.
If you're this person, we'd love to talk to you.
The Role
KIRA is building an AI Stockbroking Superapp for Southeast Asia across payments, remittance, insurance, wealth, and trading.
These products move real money. Reliability, regulatory requirements, and third-party financial rails are fundamental to the product — not considerations around the edges.
The Technical Product Manager owns a product vertical end-to-end, from strategy and outcomes through technical design, delivery, and launch.
We are AI-native by default, but AI is a means, not the goal. The bar is knowing where AI genuinely improves an outcome, where deterministic systems must remain in control, and how to build products that are reliable, auditable, and trusted.
What You'll Own
Owning a product vertical end-to-end, including strategy, metrics, roadmap, priorities, and delivery.
Shaping technical design with engineering across APIs, data flows, ledgering, reconciliation, failure handling, security, and scalability.
Driving trade-offs across correctness, speed, cost, reliability, regulatory requirements, and user experience.
Building regulatory requirements into the product across KYC, transaction monitoring, limits, privacy, and licensing.
Applying AI where it improves outcomes, with clear evaluation, safeguards, human oversight, and failure handling.
Shipping products around external dependencies, including regulatory approvals, financial rails, and third-party partners.
Aligning Engineering, Design, Compliance, Operations, Treasury, and Finance around clear product decisions and launch requirements.
What We're Looking For
5+ years of product management experience, including ownership of complex technical products from strategy through production.
Strong technical foundation across system architecture, APIs, databases, workflows, failure modes, and distributed systems.
Experience working closely with engineers and ability to review, challenge, and contribute to technical designs.
Experience in payments, banking, remittance, insurance, trading, or another regulated, high-consequence product domain.
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.
Outcomes
Clear vertical strategy and legible roadmap.
Ships fast and clears the gates that actually block launch.
Money is correct and users are never misled about the state of their funds.
AI features are valuable, predictable, and trusted.
Trade-offs made deliberately under uncertainty and hold up when challenged.
Engineering, design, compliance, and operations are aligned with minimal friction.
Location
This is a remote role. We hire globally and work across multiple countries and time zones.
