ABOUT NYMBUS
Nymbus (https://nymbus.com/) is not just a leader in fintech; we are a community of innovators passionate about reimagining banking. Our modern core platform and cloud based technology serve as the backbone for financial institutions eager to modernize and excel.
Nymbus is building the next generation of fintech platforms and that requires a new kind of delivery leader. This role is the quality and release backbone of the squad — the person who ensures what gets built actually reaches production reliably, correctly, and on cadence. You will own delivery, validation, and operational readiness using AI-first methodology, working hand-in-hand with your Builder and Architect to ship outcomes end-to-end.
WORK ENVIRONMENT:
We are a remote first company, with occasional travel required for team collaboration or client engagement.
POSITION SUMMARY:
At Nymbus, the AI Product Shipper is the delivery and quality owner in our squad triad model.
You are responsible for ensuring working software reaches production reliably and meets the quality bar. Working within a dedicated squad alongside a Builder (who owns product intent, specification, and implementation) and an Architect (who owns system design and technical integrity), you own the ship — from validation through release. You operate with an AI-first mindset, leveraging tools like Kiro and Claude to accelerate testing, quality assurance, and deployment workflows.
This is not a traditional QA or release manager role. You are a full-stack delivery professional who defines acceptance criteria, automates validation, manages releases, monitors production health, and drives operational excellence using AI-assisted workflows. You own the "how it gets to production" and the "how we know it works."
THE SQUAD TRIAD MODEL
You operate as one-third of a high-autonomy squad:
Shipper (This Role): Owns delivery, quality assurance, release management, and operational readiness. You are the person who ensures what gets built meets quality standards, passes validation, and reaches production reliably.
Builder (Your Partner): Owns product intent, specification, and implementation. The Builder is the primary creator — designing system behavior, authoring specs, and iterating with AI tools to produce working software. You collaborate daily on acceptance criteria, testability, and definition of done.
Architect (Your Partner): Owns system design, technical integrity, and cross-squad consistency. The Architect ensures solutions are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with platform architecture. You collaborate on deployment strategy, observability, and operational requirements.
Together, the triad owns outcomes end-to-end — from problem definition through production operation.
ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS / RESPONSIBILITIES
Quality Assurance and Validation
- Use AI tools (Kiro, Claude) to rapidly generate test cases, edge case scenarios, and validation suites
- Define and own acceptance criteria in partnership with the Builder and Architect
- Design and implement test strategies — automated, property-based, integration, and end-to-end
- Own the quality gate — nothing ships that does not meet the published standard
- Drive test automation as the default — manual testing is the exception, not the norm
Release Management and Deployment
- Own the release process from build artifact through production deployment
- Manage deployment cadence, release coordination, and rollback procedures
- Define and enforce release readiness criteria across the squad
- Monitor deployment health and drive rapid resolution when releases do not perform as expected
- Leverage AI tools to accelerate deployment automation, incident analysis, and release coordination
Squad Collaboration
- Partner daily with the Builder on acceptance criteria, testability, and definition of done
- Coordinate with the Architect on deployment architecture, observability, and operational concerns
- Participate directly in technical design discussions with focus on testability and operability
- Surface blockers, risks, and dependencies to the squad early and proactively
- Maintain shared context with squad partners through dashboards, release notes, and quality metrics
Domain Ownership (Fintech Systems)
Apply expertise in one or more domains such as:
- Core Banking including account structures, posting models, settlement processes, and data integrity
- Digital Banking including account opening, onboarding workflows, KYC and CIP, and user experience design
- Lending including loan lifecycles, servicing logic, payments, and exception handling
- Payments and Cards including transaction flows, authorization and settlement, and integration patterns
QUALIFICATIONS:
Technical Fluency
- Strong hands-on capability in test automation, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment tooling
- Ability to own the delivery pipeline end-to-end within a product domain
- Comfort working across the stack to validate behavior at every layer
- Bonus - Understanding of REST APIs, data modeling, and system interactions
AI-First Mindset
- Active, hands-on experience with AI-assisted testing and delivery workflows
- Demonstrated use of AI tools for test generation, deployment automation, and incident analysis
- Willingness to experiment with tools and continuously improve AI-augmented delivery practices
- Comfort operating in a spec-first, AI-first development methodology
Product & Fintech
- 5 plus years in delivery, quality engineering, and/or DevOps roles within fintech, banking, or financial services
- Experience working with core banking or digital banking platforms
- Strong understanding of complex, regulated environments and financial workflows
- Proven ability to ship software reliably in high-stakes, correctness-critical systems
- Track record of owning delivery end-to-end, not just executing test scripts
CORE TRAITS
- High Agency: Takes ownership of delivery outcomes and drives work forward without waiting for permission or heavy process. Identifies what must ship and makes it happen.
- Problem Solver: Thrives in ambiguity. When something is broken, failing, or unclear, digs in and drives to resolution quickly.
- Shipper Mindset: Measures success by what reaches production and stays healthy. Gets energy from reliable, high-quality releases — not from process for its own sake.
- Experimenter: Tests delivery approaches quickly using AI tools and iterates based on results. Explores automation opportunities before committing to manual processes.
- Quality Driven: Focuses on correctness, reliability, and operational excellence. Treats test suites, deployment pipelines, and monitoring as durable assets.
- Scale Oriented: Designs delivery processes with growing volume, increasing complexity, and operational realities in mind from the start.
- Ownership: Takes pride in production health. Does not hand off after deployment — stays accountable through operational stability.
WHAT WE ARE EXPLICITLY NOT LOOKING FOR
- Manual testers who do not automate
- Release coordinators who schedule but do not own quality
- QA professionals who wait for code to be thrown over the wall
- People uncomfortable with ambiguity or cross-functional ownership
- Those unwilling to adopt AI-first delivery practices
- Individuals who view their role as narrowly scoped to testing alone
WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS AT NYMBUS
Nymbus is building the next generation of fintech platforms — and that requires delivery professionals who own the full arc from validation through production health. The AI Product Shipper is the quality backbone of our squad model: the person who ensures everything that ships is correct, reliable, and production-ready, amplified by AI tools and partnered with world-class Builders and Architects.
This role sits at the center of our transformation, where AI, delivery excellence, and operational rigor converge to redefine how financial software reaches production.

ABOUT NYMBUS
Nymbus (https://nymbus.com/) is not just a leader in fintech; we are a community of innovators passionate about reimagining banking. Our modern core platform and cloud based technology serve as the backbone for financial institutions eager to modernize and excel.
Nymbus is building the next generation of fintech platforms and that requires a new kind of product builder. This role is the engine of the squad — the person who takes product intent and turns it into working software. You will design, specify, and build products using AI-first methodology, working hand-in-hand with your Architect and Shipper to deliver outcomes end-to-end.
WORK ENVIRONMENT:
We are a remote first company, with occasional travel required for team collaboration or client engagement.
POSITION SUMMARY:
At Nymbus, the AI Product Builder is the primary maker in our squad triad model.
You are responsible for transforming product vision into reality.
