Responsibilities

• Explain issues, potential solutions, and tradeoffs to a variety of stakeholders in clear, accessible language
• Draft bug reports and feature requests that surface the underlying user needs rather than just surface symptoms

• Produce product documentation that helps new users get up and running quickly
• Organize and prioritize the backlog so the team can sequence work effectively
• Track and analyze product outcomes, flagging delivery risks early

• Demonstrated ability to reason about quantitative data and systems governed by complex domain logic
• Excellent interpersonal skills when collaborating across functions
• Clear and concise written and verbal communication
• Ability to weigh multiple alternative solutions and choose pragmatically
• Self-directed learner who picks up new skills as the work demands

Nice to have

• Prior fintech experience, though it is not required to succeed in the role
• Familiarity with tools such as JIRA, Confluence, Google Docs, Wiki.js, Figma, Miro, Google Sheets, Superset, SQL, and open-source coding agents or local LLMs

Benefits and work setup

• Hybrid work preferred; Boston-area candidates are expected on-site two days per week for the first six months
• Candidates outside Boston should expect roughly week-long trips several times in the first six months and about three times per year thereafter
• Salary range of $100,000 to $120,000 annually, depending on experience
• No visa sponsorship is available; candidates must already have ongoing authorization to work in the United States
