Product Builder | Technical Product Manager / Product Engineer

Location: Sydney CBD | Hybrid (2–3 days in office)

Salary: $170K–$200K base + super

About the Opportunity

Our client is looking for a Product Builder— someone who sits at the intersection of product, technology, design and customer experience. This is not a traditional Product Manager role focused purely on roadmaps and requirements. We are looking for someone who can take ambiguous problems, shape solutions, collaborate with stakeholders, and actively contribute to building products using modern tools, AI workflows, prototyping, and technology. You may be an engineer who has developed strong product instincts, a technical Product Manager, a product‑minded designer who codes, or a founder/operator who has built products end‑to‑end. This is a high‑ownership role where you will help define how modern digital products are designed, built, and delivered.

About the Role

As a Product Builder, you will own initiatives from initial discovery through to delivery and optimisation. You will work closely with Engineering, Design, Operations, Commercial and Customer teams to create digital experiences that solve meaningful customer and business problems. You will combine product thinking, technical understanding, and execution capability to move quickly from ideas to real outcomes.

What You'll Work On

- Digital customer experiences and platform improvements
- Product discovery, experimentation and delivery
- Customer journeys including onboarding, engagement, and retention
- Product integrations and workflow improvements
- AI‑assisted product development and automation
- Prototypes, proof‑of‑concepts, and production‑ready solutions

What You'll Do





- Own product initiatives from concept through to delivery, including problem definition, solution design, execution and success measurement
- Translate customer and business problems into clear product direction and actionable delivery plans
- Partner with Engineering, Design, Operations and business stakeholders to deliver impactful solutions
- Use AI tools such as Claude, Cursor, Figma Make and similar technologies to accelerate product development
- Build prototypes, validate ideas and contribute to production solutions
- Understand technical architecture, APIs, data flows and engineering trade‑offs
- Balance customer needs, commercial priorities, technical complexity and operational requirements
- Communicate effectively with senior stakeholders and drive alignment across teams

About You

You may come from one of the following backgrounds:

- A Software Engineer who has moved closer to product ownership
- A Technical Product Manager with hands‑on development experience
- A Product Designer who codes and builds solutions
- A Product Engineer, founder or early‑stage operator who has worked across product, technology and commercial decisions

You will bring:

- Robust technical capability, ideally across front‑end or full‑stack development
- Experience with React, React Native, TypeScript, JavaScript or similar technologies




- Understanding of APIs, software architecture and modern product development practices
- Strong product judgement and the ability to make practical trade‑offs
- Ability to structure ambiguity and drive initiatives forward
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
- Hands‑on mindset with experience using modern AI development tools
- Experience delivering customer‑facing digital products

Highly Regarded Experience

- Fintech, banking, investing, payments, superannuation or another regulated industry
- Mobile application development
- Growth, onboarding, activation or customer retention products
- Experience as a founder, startup operator or technical product leader
- Experience leveraging AI tools to improve product development workflows

What Success Looks Like

You turn customer and business problems into shipped improvements. You can move comfortably between strategy, technical discussions and execution. Engineers trust you because you understand how products are built, while stakeholders trust you because you understand customers, commercial outcomes and business priorities.

You use modern tools, including AI‑assisted workflows, to reduce friction, increase speed and deliver better products.

Why Join?

- Play a key role in shaping innovative digital products
- Work in a high‑impact workplace with genuine ownership
- Collaborate across product, engineering and commercial teams
- Be part of a business embracing modern AI‑enabled product development
- Influence how products are built, tested and delivered
