We're building AI thought partners to make people smarter and more creative, accelerating the creation and sharing of knowledge in financial services. We're unabashedly ambitious, and we're dead set on building the biggest Financial AI company in the world. Our team is lean, smart, and endlessly curious.

The Role

We’re hiring a Head of Product Engineering - a hands-on, high-impact engineering leader who will own everything our customers interact with: frontend, full-stack, mobile, and core workflows. Your mission is to make Rogo’s product feel polished, fast, and indispensable.

We’re not looking for a traditional corporate executive. We’re looking for an exceptional builder and leader - someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, can both code and lead, and is excited to scale into a senior leadership role.

Our ability to ship fast and feel world-class hinges on great product engineering. In this role, you’ll be a true partner to leadership - shaping our product, scaling our team, and setting the bar for quality.

What You Will Own

  • Lead and grow our Product Engineering team (currently 6 engineers plus design).

  • Own all customer-facing product surfaces: chat, dashboards, workflows, mobile, admin tools, and more.

  • Partner closely with Product and Design to drive the roadmap and ship at velocity.

  • Mentor, coach, and uplevel engineers while still writing and reviewing code.

  • Introduce engineering rituals that improve speed, stability, and polish.

  • Recruit and develop future tech leads as the team scales.

Who You Are

  • 7+ years of engineering experience, including hands-on coding and team leadership.

  • Experience managing a small team (1–5 engineers) and ready to scale.

  • Known for technical excellence and trusted by peers for judgment and execution.

  • Passionate about velocity, craftsmanship, and great user experiences.

  • Comfortable rolling up your sleeves to code, debug, and unblock.

  • Hungry to grow into a senior leadership role — motivated by impact, not titles.

What Success Looks Like

  • 30 days: Co-own the roadmap, ship features yourself, and build trust with the team.

  • 90 days: Clear ownership of product areas, faster release velocity, and tighter engineering rituals.

  • 12 months: A 20+ person product engineering org with strong leads, a recruiting flywheel, and a product that rivals the best SaaS experiences.

Who You Are

  • You thrive in fast-paced environments. You are high-intensity and care a lot about what you do, and you're ecstatic to work at a startup

  • You are ambitious. You have fun solving problems that others think are impossible.

  • You are curious. You find joy in learning about AI, technology, and finance

  • You are an owner. You are autonomous, self-directed, and comfortable working with ambiguity

  • You are collaborative, organized, and thoughtful.

Why Join Rogo?

  • Exceptional traction: strong PMF with the world's largest investment banks, hedge funds, and private equity firms.

  • World-class team: we take talent density seriously. We like working with incredibly smart, driven people.

  • Velocity: we work fast, which means you learn a lot and constantly take on new challenges.

  • Frontier technology: we're developing cutting-edge AI systems, pushing the boundaries of published research, redefining what's possible, and inventing the future.

  • Cutting Edge Product: Our platform is state-of-the-art and crazily powerful. We're creating tools that make people smarter, reinventing how you discover, create, and share knowledge.
