What the work involves

Day to day

Working out what a financial product should do and why - analysing user behaviour, defining requirements, and working with engineering and compliance to ship it. Part analysis, part coordination.

02

Who this suits

Fit

People who understand finance and are comfortable in a technology environment. India's payments and lending sector is large and still changing quickly, so the learning curve is steep and continuous.

03

The honest reality

Read this one

Startup employment is less secure than the sector's visibility suggests, and funding cycles drive hiring and layoffs. Regulatory change can invalidate months of work overnight. The role sits between teams with different priorities, which means constant negotiation.
