Product

Mural's mission is to connect every person, business, and agent to the Global Financial Internet. Mural is the compliant system of record fintechs and platforms build on to move, store, and grow money for their customers and the agents acting for them.

Launching a financial product usually takes years of licenses, bank partnerships, and compliance work. Mural holds the licenses, runs compliance in-house, and keeps an audit trail on every payment. Our forward-deployed engineers build alongside your team until the first payment clears. Deel, Opera, Axexo, Blinka, and Akaunt all, Built on Mural.

You will be one of Mural's first product hires, reporting jointly to the COO and CTO. Leadership sets the vision. You form your own thesis, pressure-test ours, challenge it, then execute. You own the roadmap. You're accountable to metrics that map directly to revenue. You manage the partner and vendor relationships your pod depends on.

You'll have a dedicated pod of engineers, real autonomy, and the mandate to define what product means at Mural. The person who does this exceptionally well is positioned to lead the product function as it scales.

This is not a write-tickets-and-groom-backlogs role.

Responsibilities

• You'll talk to customers constantly, weekly at minimum and often daily. Our deployment strategists will get you in the room. Staying in it is on you.
• You'll prototype your own ideas. Working demos, not decks.
• You'll work AI-natively. Agentic development is how this company operates. You should already build this way, and we'll ask you to show us.
• You'll contribute code. Our public API is core product surface, and our product leads are expected to read the codebase, prototype against it, and ship.

Requirements

• 4 to 10 years across engineering and product, including time as a professional software engineer. You've shipped production code. We'll flex on tenure for someone who built something exceptional and has the results to prove it.
• Payments and fintech infrastructure domain experience. Experience building new and novel products in the world of fintech, especially where tradfi meets blockchain.
• AI-native builder. You use agentic tools daily to prototype, analyze, and ship.
• Opinionated and visionary. You form a thesis about where the product should go, defend it against the founders, and change your mind on evidence.
• Customer-obsessed. Your instinct when uncertain is to go talk to five customers, not to schedule a meeting about it.
• Built for ambiguity. You'll create and own our product processes and product ops, inside a regulated, high-stakes domain.

How you'll work

• Your pod. You plus at least two dedicated engineers, growing as the pod succeeds. You'll have direct input into pod engineering hires.
• With BD. BD owns the deal and you own the roadmap, including the no. Nothing gets committed to a customer pre-signature without product sign-off.
• With forward-deployed engineering. FDE engagements touching your pod require your approval, and their output must generalize into the platform.
• With leadership. Direction setting is a dialogue with the COO, CTO, and CEO, but you're expected to arrive with a thesis, not wait for one.

How We Work

We run on three principles

• 2% better, every day. One percent for yourself, one percent for the people around you.
• Telos. From the Greek word telos, meaning not just done but fulfilled. Everyone here is focused on one mission and knows each other's Telos.
• Build. Embody the builder's mindset. Make things, solve problems, and have fun doing it.
