SGX is hiring product-minded engineers to take initiatives from ambiguous problem to running production system. Youll partner with stakeholders to shape what gets built prototype rapidly to validate direction and harden the result into systems we operate with confidence. This is a generalist role for engineers who like build and can orchestrate AI agents across the SDLC.

We operate in a regulated capital-markets environment so the bar for quality security and operational rigour is high.

• Develop a deep understanding of the products in your domain (e.g. features user experience technical architecture data flows) and contribute to the long-term technology roadmap of the product domain.
• Define with the Business Owner and your team the north-star metric and supporting KPIs that guide product iteration and partner with engineering and data teams to ensure these metrics are observable.
• Produce the artefacts that engineering or vendors needs to act on whether thats requirements user stories acceptance criteria or AI-assisted product specs by partnering with stakeholders to understand the underlying business opportunities.
