About The Position

Nymbus (https://nymbus.com/) is not just a leader in fintech; we are a community of innovators passionate about reimagining banking. Our modern core platform and cloud based technology serve as the backbone for financial institutions eager to modernize and excel. Nymbus is building the next generation of fintech platforms and that requires a new kind of product ownership. This role sits at the intersection of product, design, engineering, and AI. You will not just contribute to products; you will help redefine how they are built. POSITION SUMMARY: At Nymbus, we are redefining what it means to be a Product Owner. This role is for AI first builders, individuals who actively design, specify, and help develop products in close collaboration with engineering. You will not simply manage backlogs or run ceremonies. Instead, you will own product intent, define system behavior, and produce high quality, implementation ready specifications that drive execution across the full software development lifecycle. You will operate with a design first and specification first mindset, leveraging AI tools such as Kiro and Claude to accelerate discovery, iteration, and delivery. This role requires strong product judgment, technical fluency, and a willingness to challenge traditional models of how software is built.
