About nesto and Nesto Cloud

nesto is Canada’s leading provider of mortgage technology and financing solutions, managing $73B+ CAD in residential and commercial mortgages, with 1,000+ team members across 12 offices nationwide. You will be working on Nesto Cloud, Canada’s most advanced cloud platform, delivering end-to-end technology solutions for lenders in the digital age.

What you’ll be doing
  • Lead product ideation by identifying opportunities and translating stakeholder vision into well-scoped epics, features, and user stories.
  •  Own and prioritize the product backlog, balancing business value, customer impact, and technical feasibility across multiple workstreams.
  • Run discovery and requirement-gathering sessions with stakeholders and clients, surfacing needs, edge cases, and the “if/then” logic behind a bulletproof feature.
  • Create customer journey maps and detailed acceptance criteria that guide design and development from concept through delivery.
  • Partner with front-end and back-end developers, and product leadership, to sequence work, resolve trade-offs, and ensure technical feasibility.
  • Mentor analysts and help raise the bar for how the team writes requirements, structures backlogs, and communicates product intent.
Who we are looking for
  • 3+ years of experience as a product analyst, product owner, or business analyst, with post-secondary education in computer science, business, information technology, or a related field.
  • You have a proven track record of turning ambiguous, high-level business requests into structured epics, user stories, and prioritized backlogs that engineers can execute without constant back-and-forth.
  • You are skilled at facilitating discovery and requirement-gathering sessions, and know how to ask the right questions to get to the real problem behind a stakeholder’s request.
  • You possess a natural “owner” mindset with the initiative to identify pain points, shape feature ideas, and drive them from concept to completion.
  • You understand how a single change in one part of the platform can ripple across the entire ecosystem, and you document those dependencies and edge cases meticulously.
  • You are comfortable with agile ceremonies (backlog grooming, sprint planning, refinement), and basic SQL literacy is an asset for validating data – though it is not the core focus of this role.
  • You are comfortable engaging with technical concepts - APIs, data structures, and system architecture - enough to have credible conversations with engineers and spot technical risks early, even though you are not expected to write code.
The Reward
  • The A-Team: Work alongside high-performing talent in the industry.
  • Accelerated Growth: The slope of your learning curve here will be vertical. You will touch more production systems in one year than you would in five years at a bank.
  • Top-Tier Coverage: Premium benefits plan fully paid by nesto, including comprehensive insurance and unlimited access to telemedicine and mental health services for you and your family.
  • Rest & Recharge: 4 weeks of vacation to ensure you stay at peak performance.
  • Best-in-Class Tools: Access to the resources and tech you need to execute without friction.
  • Working framework: The environment that makes you productive and enables teamwork (Hybrid model).

We are committed to fostering a culture of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, and we strongly encourage women, people of color, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and individuals with disabilities to apply.
