About The Position

Engine by GEN helps enterprise partners distribute, monetize, and optimize financial product experiences across digital channels. Engine powers marketplace, recommendation, API, and embedded product experiences that connect consumers with relevant financial products, services, and offers. We are building the platform infrastructure that allows financial products to be distributed intelligently across many partners, tenants, channels, and user experiences. That requires more than adding features. It requires scalable systems for APIs, product catalogs, offer management, attribution, reporting, configuration, experimentation, compliance workflows, and operational tooling. Engine by GEN is looking for a Director of Product to own the product strategy and roadmap for the core platform capabilities that power our B2B2C financial product marketplace. This is a senior, hands-on product leadership role for someone who can operate at both the strategic and technical levels. You will define how Engine’s platform supports enterprise partners, API integrations, hosted experiences, multi-tenant configuration, backend event tracking, funnel measurement, and scalable operations. The right person will be able to translate complex partner needs, business goals, technical constraints, and operational requirements into platform capabilities that are reusable, measurable, and maintainable. You will be expected to make thoughtful tradeoffs between flexibility and simplicity, partner customization and platform standardization, near-term revenue and long-term scalability. You will work closely with Engineering, Data Science, Design, Sales, Partner Success, Analytics, Operations, Compliance, Legal, and executive leadership to prioritize high-impact platform investments and ship products that improve how Engine scales.
