What are the responsibilities and job description for the Founding Senior Product Manager position at Casca (YC S23)?
Casca is building AGI for banking. We’re replacing decades-old legacy systems with AI-native technology that automates 90% of the manual work humans once had to do. We were founded by a world-class team of banking & AI experts from Stanford, MIT, and Y Combinator. We like to win—and we know that the only thing standing between us and the title is our own ability to improve every day.
As our founding PM, you'll define and drive Casca's product from the ground up. We're not just building features—we're creating an entirely new way for banks to operate. You'll collaborate directly with our technical founders to transform complex AI capabilities into elegant solutions that make legacy banking systems obsolete. This is a rare opportunity to shape a category-defining product at the intersection of AI and finance.
