What You'll Do Own the results of a Nova Product team responsible for the product experience across subscriptions, data rooms, distributions, capital calls, and the LP wallet and portal.

Grow the team from ~4 engineers to 5-7 and help shape the structure of the broader Product group as it scales.

Work closely with Product, Design, stakeholders, and the Foundations engineering teams to make progress against the roadmap.

Set a clear technical direction with the team's senior and staff engineers.

Maintain a high standard of quality across workflows with high stakes and strict compliance requirements, where real money and investor identity are on the line.

Stay hands-on where it helps. Unblock the team and maintain enough technical context to ask good questions and make sound tradeoffs.

You Have 2+ years of engineering management experience, including hiring, developing, and getting the best work from engineers.

A record of shipping and scaling customer-facing products, ideally in complex domains where quality is critical. You care about the user experience and pay attention to the details.

Experience building in an environment with high stakes and strict compliance requirements, where every detail matters. Experience with fintech, payments, or identity and KYC is a bonus.

Experience with a modern TypeScript stack, or the ability to learn it quickly.

Good startup judgment. You're comfortable with ambiguity and add enough process to help the team without over-building it.

How Success Will Be Measured You've learned the team's systems and can discuss the full Nova product surface.

Nova's flagship workflows, including subscriptions, distributions, and capital calls, are consistently high quality and increasingly self-service. For example, 95%+ of distributions complete end-to-end with zero manual intervention.

New payments, wallet, and identity products ship on a clear, coherent architecture, and the product remains highly reliable as it scales.

The team is healthy and growing. You've hired toward 5-7 engineers, and the team is clear on its roadmap.
