The Idea
Optima is building an AI-native wealth experience that has to raise the premium bar in a category that has never competed on product. The traditional structure - PM specs, designer renders, engineer builds - is how most product ends up mediocre; every handoff compresses what started as a sharper idea. Our bet: one head holding product judgment, design fluency, and engineering depth, with AI-native tooling collapsing the distance from idea to shipped thing, ships premium work at a speed and coherence that three specialists cannot match. If you know how to build the right thing and how to build the thing right, we're talking about you.
Role Description
We are recruiting a AI-Native Product Builder to tackle product surfaces end-to-end (product enough to pick the right problem + design enough to hold a premium bar + technical enough to ship it under real constraints):
- Own surfaces from spec to shipped: take ambiguous problems (a new acquisition experience, a new agent capability, a client onboarding flow) through deciding what to build → designing how it feels → engineering how it works → instrumenting what matters → iterating on what the data shows
- Treat design as a first-class craft: visual language, interaction feel, narrative pacing, system thinking are not just decoration
- Build with growth in the room: Optima's primary acquisition and retention engine is the product itself; conversion, shareability, activation, and retention are first-order inputs to what you design, not someone else's downstream problem
- Extend naturally into internal agentic workflows: when you notice that client onboarding prep, compliance drafting, or operational context construction for the client-facing team should be automated, you build the system that does it
Who This Is For
- You have 4+ years shipping production software end-to-end at product-driven companies where craft was the competitive edge
- You've been the person doing 2-3 of product + design + engineering at once and have outgrown titles that capture only one
- Your best work ships: the feature you specced and designed and built, the internal tool you shipped because no one else would, the interaction nobody believed would work until you made it
- You find finance interesting enough that regulatory complexity and operational mess read as constraints to absorb on behalf of the user, not friction to push downstream; you take pride in making a client's life lighter by carrying the hard parts yourself
- Outcomes (driven by taste and agency) matter more than pedigree
- Or something untraditional that trumps all of the above
What This Isn't
- Not a PM role
- Not a pure design role
- Not a pure engineering role
- Not a people management role
Compensation Highlights
- Top-of-market compensation (₹50L - ₹1Cr PA)
- Health insurance
