What we are looking for
Before you apply
This role is for someone who likes the detail. If you want to talk about strategy and leave the stories to someone else, it is not the right seat. If you enjoy knowing exactly how a feature works, writing it down so clearly that nobody has to ask twice, and explaining it to a bank abroad in English, it is.
About complead
complead, formerly Sanction Scanner, is the financial crime platform we started in Istanbul in 2020. We run sanctions screening, KYC and KYB, transaction monitoring, fraud detection and case management for more than 800 financial institutions in over 80 countries, from payment companies to tier-one banks. One engine, one customer record, one audit trail.
The name changed this year because the work outgrew it. The standard underneath it did not: compliance software should be judged by what it covers, how fast it answers and whether it can explain itself.
What we have earned so far
The role
We are looking for a Product Owner who sits between our customers and our engineers and makes sure what we build is exactly what compliance teams need.
You will own the backlog for a set of modules in the platform. You will turn customer requests, regulatory changes and product ideas into clear user stories that engineers can build without guessing, and you will be in the room, or on the call, until they ship.
This is a technical seat. Our product is an API-first platform used by banks and payment companies, so you will read API documentation, test endpoints yourself, query data to answer your own questions and talk to engineers in their language. Most of our customers are outside Türkiye, so much of this work happens in English.
What you will own
What your first year looks like
In your first month you learn the product, AML compliance basics and the codebase at the level a product owner needs, and you sit in refinement and customer calls. By month three you own the backlog for your modules, run their sprints and accept releases on your own. By month twelve your modules ship on the dates you committed to, engineers rarely come back with "what did you mean here", and you have shipped at least one feature that customers asked for by name.
What comes with the job
How we hire
Four steps, about three weeks end to end: your application (every one is read, and you hear back within two days), a 45-minute first conversation, partly in English, a short work sample (turn a real customer request into user stories with acceptance criteria and an API change, plus the prompts or tools you used), and a visit to meet the team and see the office before the offer. Please check the career page on the website.
Equal opportunity
We hire for talent, ownership and fit. We do not discriminate on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, ethnicity or social background.
