h3About our client /h3 /brpOur client is a regulated fintech based in Zurich building the operating system for private markets. Legal, financial and tax workflows, all in one platform. Their customers are VC firms, asset managers, family offices and the investment arms of private banks. /p /brpThe pitch is simple: private markets today are where public markets were 30 years ago. Deals still need notaries to sign contracts. Most of the process runs on email, PDFs and spreadsheets. Our client is fixing that. /p /brpThey're a team of 20, backed by around $7M in private funding, and expanding their licenses across multiple jurisdictions. They grow on purpose, not at any cost: the plan is to reach around 35 people by the end of 2027. Every hire matters. /p /brh3The role /h3 /brpOur client is opening two complementary product roles, both reporting to the CTO. This one is the finance-first side. You'll work alongside a Product Architect who owns product direction, and you'll turn that direction into structured, tested systems that actually work in a regulated environment. /p /brpIn practice, you'll be the person who understands how a private markets workflow really works, from the legal mechanics to the operational reality, and can turn it into something the engineering team can build. You'll talk to customers, align with legal, compliance and operations, prototype fast, and own the system end to end until it's in production and proven. /p /brh3What you'll do /h3 /brul /brliMap complex financial, legal and market workflows and decide where they should be simplified, automated or redesigned, not just documented /li /brliWrite specifications precise enough to build from: states, rules, data requirements, permissions, controls, edge cases and failure modes /li /brliGo from idea to testable prototype quickly, and validate it with customers before engineering time is committed /li /brliDesign and build AI-driven product workflows as a core part of the platform /li /brliWork directly with customers on discovery and implementation, separating one-off requests from recurring product problems /li /brliBuild the analytics and feedback loops that show how the product is used and where it breaks /li /brliOwn QA and evaluation for financial, legal and AI-driven workflows, including regression and human control /li /br /ul /brh3What our client is looking for /h3 /brul /brliHands-on experience building financial products for private markets. This is the non-negotiable /li /brliA strong technical background and a track record of shipping production systems /li /brliEnough financial and legal depth to reason about securities, fund structures and regulated processes on your own /li /brliComfort turning messy, ambiguous problems into clean specs and systems /li /brliExperience designing AI-driven product workflows /li /brliA rigorous approach to testing, QA and analytics /li /brliGood product judgement, and the confidence to push back on low-value or overly complex solutions /li /brliExperience in environments where correctness, security, compliance and auditability matter /li /br /ul /brpStrong backgrounds include product teams at VC firms, investment banks, or private markets platforms (cap table, fund admin, deal data, secondaries). Exposure to lending, tokenization, digital assets or on-chain settlement is a plus. /p /brh3Location /h3 /brpEU nationality or a valid Swiss/EU residency permit is required. The setup is partially remote with travel to Zurich around once a month. Candidates based in Southern Europe who are open to relocating to Zurich are especially welcome, and relocation support is provided. /p /brh3Compensation /h3 /brul /brli100–120€K base /li /brliAround $50K in ESOP per year /li /brliRelocation support /li /brliSwiss tax rate of around 12% /li /br /ul /brh3Timing /h3 /brpOur client is looking to have this person on board by mid-November 2026 or January 2027. No December starts, as Q4 is their busiest quarter. /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
