Job Description
We are building Qompyl, a mobile-first, no-code algorithmic strategy builder for day traders and investors. Our mission is to democratize strategy creation and empower traders to turn ideas into testable, data-driven systems.
Qompyl focuses on a hands-on, visual, and intuitive experience, combining strategy building, backtesting, and gamified elements to make complex trading concepts accessible to a broader audience.
THE ROLE
We are looking for a Product Owner to support the execution of Qompyl’s product strategy, working closely with Product Management and engineering, with a strong focus on mobile experience and App Store delivery.
This role sits at the intersection of product strategy, user experience definition, and engineering delivery. You will work closely with engineers to define how the product works in practice, including application flows, feature behavior, integrations, and user experience details, and translate that into clear, prioritized, delivery ready work.
This is an early-stage, equity-only role, offering high ownership and direct impact on a mobile-first fintech product.
RESPONSIBILITIES
-
Partner with Product Management to support product strategy execution, contributing to prioritization and sequencing decisions.
-
Work closely with engineers to define detailed product behavior, user flows, edge cases, system interactions, and integration requirements before and during development.
-
Work with engineering to define how the app interacts with backend services, APIs, third party integrations, and mobile platform constraints.
-
Collaborate with design and engineering to define and refine end to end user journeys, screen flows, interaction patterns, and overall mobile user experience.
-
Translate roadmap initiatives into well defined product requirements and behavior specifictions, user stories, flows, edge cases, and acceptance criteria that engineers can build from with minimal ambiguity.
-
Own and maintain the product backlog, ensuring it reflects strategic priorities and is ready for delivery.
-
Act as the primary day to day product partner for engineers, working closely with them to clarify requirements, answer implementation questions, and make real time product decisions during development.
-
Support mobile feature development and App Store-related initiatives, ensuring requirements are properly captured and executed.
-
Participate in backlog refinement, planning, and review ceremonies to maintain alignment and delivery momentum.
-
Actively accompany features from concept to release, helping resolve scope questions and trade-offs as they arise.
-
Monitor product outcomes and user feedback to inform continuous improvement and future prioritization.
-
A "customer-first" mentality with a deep empathy for user pain points and a drive to solve them.
REQUIRED SKILLS
-
5+ years of experience in Product roles including hands-on work on mobile-first or consumer-facing digital products.
-
Strong experience working with Agile / Scrum teams, owning backlogs and delivery workflows.
-
Proven ability to translate strategic goals into detailed product behavior, user flows, and actionable requirements that engineers can implement.
-
Solid understanding of mobile-first product development.
-
Experience using product delivery and documentation tools such as Jira and Confluence and collaborating closely with engineering teams in modern product environments.
-
Strong communication, organization, and stakeholder management skills.
NICE TO HAVE
-
Experience in fintech, trading platforms, or data-driven products.
-
Familiarity with gamification concepts and engagement-driven product design.
-
General understanding of modern product and engineering environments (e.g. frontend frameworks, API-driven architectures).
-
Experience supporting App Store release processes.
Please Note:
This is a part-time (12-15 hours/week), equity-only position until after MVP launch and initial funding or sustainable revenue are achieved.
The idea for Qompyl started with a spark from our founder, Tyler Charton - and quickly became a shared conviction of our team. Like many self-starters, he spent years immersed in markets - books, charts, videos, and strategy breakdowns that played out like a chess game in his head. He kept seeing the same pattern: strategies built on “if-this-then-that” logic, each isolated, each powerful, but locked behind code or presented in ways that didn’t match how people actually think. That frustration became the inception of Qompyl.
With that, the team was formed. After evaluating existing strategy builders on the market - they all came up short. The tools were overly complex, lacking broker connectivity, real-world integration, or intuitive design. And most importantly, they lacked what matters most in trading: risk management and psychology. Without those, even the best strategy falls apart.
We were also struck by how much influence large institutions and well-known investors have on markets. A single comment from a billionaire or a shift in institutional buying could move prices dramatically - leaving everyday traders reacting too late. Without access to better tools, most people are stuck following headlines, buying on the highs and lows, and doubting their own decisions.
Qompyl is our answer: a code-free, intuitive way to turn ideas into executable strategies, test them against real data, and ground decisions in discipline rather than emotion or hype. It’s not about chasing the noise - it’s about building clarity, confidence, and access for everyone.
Our mission is to revolutionize how trading strategies are developed — making institutional-grade tools accessible, intuitive, and engaging. Our vision is bold: to become the global standard for algorithmic strategy development, enabling anyone to innovate, refine, and execute strategies with ease. Our purpose is simple: to empower traders worldwide to participate in markets fairly, confidently, and without barriers.
