Job description

We are building the financial system for the next century. One where control sits in the hands of customers — not banks. Where money moves on rails that are faster, smarter, and radically more efficient. Where wealth management tools help you grow your savings for decades — and build generational wealth. Where fewer intermediaries mean more value stays where it belongs: in our customers’ pockets.

We operate with long-term ambition and absolute conviction. We are not here to iterate on the past — we are here to redesign it. This is a defining moment to join us.

We are building what we believe will become one of the most important financial institutions in the world. That requires exceptional talent, relentless standards, and people who care deeply about the work. At ARQ, we are turning the financial system upside down — starting in the Americas. We are nimble, but ambitious. We move fast, learn fast, and innovate relentlessly. Technology is our greatest ally, and execution is our edge. We build as a team. We think long term. We aim for world-class in everything we do. If you are exceptional at what you do — and ready to help redefine finance — we’d love to meet you.Are you ready to build what comes next?

About the team

We believe that small teams with the best talent outcompete massive companies with mediocre capabilities. That's why we have gathered a set of people who have done it before at iconic companies like Revolut, Uber, Amazon, Block and UBS: we owned some of the most loved and profitable products, delivered top-notch transaction processing platforms, created beautiful mobile applications - and helped them become profitable companies that changed the lives of millions of people.

In our quest to reshape the global financial system we have raised tens of millions of dollars from leading investors like Sequoia Capital, Founders Fund, Brevan Howard Digital, Y Combinator and Kaszek Ventures.

About ARQ

ARQ is one of the fastest-growing fintechs in the world. Our mission is to redefine how people interact with money across borders, building the infrastructure to move value seamlessly. We're still early in our journey, which means every person who joins shapes the future of our product, culture, and growth. If you're excited by big challenges, global impact, and the chance to grow fast with a world-class team, ARQ is the place to do it.

The Role

We're hiring a Product Owner to build and own ARQ's operating system: the company-wide KPI platform, the employee directory it runs on, and the back-office tools that let ARQ grow and stay efficient. ARQ barely pays for external software anymore. The systems we run on are the ones we build ourselves, and this role owns them.

You’ll work directly with the founders, engineers, and department leads across the company. The mandate isn't to patch together basic internal tools. It's to own the platforms that ARQ runs on end-to-end.

What you'll be doing

Owning the product strategy, roadmap, and execution of ARQ's operating system end-to-end.

Shipping the company-wide KPI platform that the founders, board, and every department use to run ARQ.

Building out the employee directory: profiles, org chart, people-to-KPI attribution, integration with our HR stack.

Driving department leads across the company to define, commit to, and report against the KPIs that matter for their area.

Partnering with back-office engineering on schema and architecture decisions to make the platforms scale together.

Tracking adoption and usage, iterating fast based on internal feedback.

What you'll need

2 to 5 years of experience with 2+ years experience at a top technology company.

A founder's mindset: a problem solver ready to roll up their sleeves to build from scratch.

Strong analytical and quantitative skills; comfortable going deep into data and processes.

Excellent written communicator. Confident working directly with founders and cross-functional stakeholders.

A self-starter who thrives in ambiguity and takes full ownership.

Nice-to-haves

Experience building internal tools, BI platforms, or HR-tech products.

Familiarity with metrics frameworks, dashboards, or org-data products.

Spanish or Portuguese language skills.
