About the Role

We're looking for a Product Owner to build and own our Origination Platform, the core infrastructure powering financing origination, loan servicing, and repayments across Comfi's BNPL, Receivables, and Dealership Financing products.

You’ll own the entire financing lifecycle, from the customer portal after KYB onboarding through financing requests, approval, funding, core banking integration, and repayment.

This is a hands-on, zero-to-one product ownership role. You’ll work with a dedicated team of Full-Stack Engineers in an AI-native, specification-driven development environment.

We’re looking for a technically strong Product Owner who has hands-on experience delivering event-driven, domain-oriented microservice platforms and understands how complex financial systems are designed and integrated.

What You’ll Own

Financing Origination

• Launch financing request journeys across payables, receivables, and dealership financing.
• Own the customer portal experience after KYB onboarding, closely coordinating with the KYB Product Owner.
• Implement established financing eligibility, limits, pricing, approval workflows, and disbursement logic.
• Build configurable product rules to support multiple financing products on a shared core platform.

Platform Architecture & Integrations

• Own the functional architecture of the Origination Platform, working closely with engineers on service boundaries, domain models, and integration contracts.
• Design business workflows around domain-driven, event-driven microservices, ensuring clear ownership of business logic and data.
• Define APIs, domain events, state transitions, and interactions between Origination, KYB, Risk, Core Banking, and Payments.
• Ensure reliable handling of asynchronous workflows, including failures, retries, duplicate events, and eventual consistency.
• Build reusable platform capabilities that support multiple financing products and future geographic expansion.

Loan Servicing

• Coordinate with the Core Banking team to deliver post-originaton loan lifecycle management, including balances, fees, interest accrual, maturity, and extensions.
• Define integration requirements for ledger transactions, payment allocation, and reconciliation.
• Ensure accurate financial calculations and consistent loan states across the platform.

Repayments & Collections

• Coordinate closely with the Core Banking team to own customer repayment journeys, including repayment schedules, payment allocation, and settlement.
• Define overdue management, late fees, partial repayments, and early settlement journeys.
• Collaborate with Finance, Risk, and Collections to ensure accurate and scalable servicing operations.

AI-native Product Development

• Work directly with dedicated Full-Stack Engineers in a lean, two-to-three-person product team.
• Drive development through specification-driven workflows, where structured product specifications serve as the single source of truth.
• Use AI tools to accelerate requirements analysis, prototyping, implementation, testing, and documentation.
• Write precise business rules, domain models, event contracts, acceptance criteria, edge cases, and test scenarios.
• Own the product backlog, prioritize development, and validate delivered functionality.
• Continuously improve development speed and quality through AI-assisted workflows.
