  • Collaborate with engineering, business development, and marketing to align protocol roadmap with broader company objectives.
  • Gather and analyze data on protocol performance, solver behavior, and market trends to inform product strategy.
  • Leverage modern AI tooling to accelerate shipping without compromising quality; evaluate and suggest new tools and frameworks.

What We're Looking For

  • Strong technical background, comfortable discussing smart contract architecture, protocol-level mechanisms, and trade-offs in decentralized systems.
  • Proven Web3 experience, having successfully built and shipped protocols and products.
  • Deep understanding of DeFi, interoperability protocols, and the broader smart contract landscape.
  • Demonstrated ability to take ideas and turn them into shipped products in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with ability to form strong, well-reasoned opinions and update them with new information.
  • Passion for the future of interoperability and desire to be at the forefront of innovation.

Team & Environment

You will join a growing product team, reporting to and working alongside the Head of Product.

Benefits & Compensation

  • Take vacation when you need it.
  • Family care benefits.
