About the Company

KIRA's mission is to make money smart, reliable and within reach for everyone. In 2019 we built the first mobile first insurance platform in Southeast Asia, which is now the leading insurance platform in the region. Today we are expanding our offerings to cover spending, saving, investing, exchanging, travelling and more, aiming to help people in Asia get more from their money and achieve self reliance. We believe AI will help us achieve this in our generation, and we have teams around the world with over 20 nationalities, working from our offices and remotely.

About the Role

KIRA is building an AI Investing 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. The Technical Product Lead 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.

Responsibilities

  • ● Own a product vertical end to end, including strategy, metrics, roadmap, priorities and delivery.
  • ● Shape technical design with engineering across APIs, data flows, ledgering, reconciliation, failure handling, security and scalability.
  • ● Drive trade offs across correctness, speed, cost, reliability, regulatory requirements and user experience.
  • ● Build regulatory requirements into the product across KYC, transaction monitoring, limits, privacy and licensing.
  • ● Apply AI where it improves outcomes, with clear evaluation, safeguards, human oversight and failure handling.
  • ● Ship products around external dependencies, including regulatory approvals, financial rails and third party partners.
  • ● Align Engineering, Design, Compliance, Operations, Treasury and Finance around clear product decisions and launch requirements.

Requirements

  • ● 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.
  • ● 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.
