Fintech or Financial technology is simply the use of technology to solve financial needs of consumers and businesses. The financial needs here are broad and encompass borrowing, saving, transferring, tracking, selling, investing, lending and accessing money from an entity.
Traditionally, a PM works closely with the Engineering, Design, Analytics, and Marketing teams. At Fintech, I not only work with those teams, but also with Risk, Compliance, Legal, Credit Operations, Partnerships, Business Operations, Member experience and Financial Operations. With so many stakeholders, the PM role becomes even more critical: after all, it is the PMโs responsibility to deliver a great product, and all these teams are essential to making that happen.

Duolingo, a language learning app with over 500 million users, is working on a music app, TechCrunch has learned.
The Pittsburgh-based tech company currently has a small team working on a music product and is hiring a learning scientist who is an โexpert in music education who combines both theoretical knowledge of relevant learning science research and hands-on teaching experience,โ according to a job posting listed on Duolingoโs career page. The company also posted a job that was soliciting a freelance music composition and curricular consultant, but the company is no longer accepting applications for that position.
The job listing suggests that the app will teach basic concepts in music theory using popular songs and teachers.
Duolingo has slowly grown beyond language learning into several auxiliary new projects that may represent significant revenue streams in the years to come.
