Product Manager — DeFi Products & Applications
You'll own and drive DeFi products spanning liquid staking, token launch infrastructure, and on-chain payment rails. You'll work at the intersection of protocol design, tokenomics, DeFi integrations, and regulatory strategy — translating complex on-chain mechanics into products that users trust and adopt. This is a high-ownership role where you'll move fluidly between smart contract mechanics, liquidity strategy, partnership development, and go-to-market execution.
Responsibilities
- Define product strategy, roadmap, and requirements for one or more DeFi products, balancing user experience with protocol economics
- Design and refine tokenomics and incentive mechanisms — yield models, reward distribution, fee accrual, referral systems, and season/budget structures
- Drive DeFi integrations and partnerships: DEX/AMM listings, lending market collateral use cases, restaking integrations, liquidity routing, and LP incentives
- Own liquidity and treasury considerations — peg stability, liquidity depth across venues, mint/redeem arbitrage, and treasury operations
- Partner with legal & compliance on token classification, KYC/AML, sanctions screening, jurisdictional restrictions, and securities exposure
- Work closely with security and audit teams on smart contract risk, vault mechanics, custody, incident response, and anti-abuse safeguards
- Drive growth: TVL and volume expansion, user/creator/staker acquisition, CEX listings, and go-to-market with ecosystem and BD partners
- Support governance processes — parameter control, DAO/multisig operations, and upgrade workflows
Requirements
- Strong understanding of DeFi primitives: staking/liquid staking, AMMs and bonding curves, lending markets, yield mechanics, and tokenomics design
- Experience shipping crypto/DeFi products (as PM, founder, or closely adjacent technical/strategy role)
- Comfort reasoning about smart contract mechanics, liquidity dynamics, and on-chain incentive design
- Awareness of the regulatory landscape around tokens, staking, and payments (securities, AML, tax treatment)
- Ability to balance rapid iteration with the security and risk discipline that on-chain products demand
- Strong collaboration skills across engineering, security, legal, growth, and external partners
- Experience with restaking, LSTs, or token launch platforms (nice to have)
- Background in payments, billing/metering, or fintech infrastructure (nice to have)
- Familiarity with AI/compute infrastructure or decentralized compute economics (nice to have)
- Existing network across DeFi protocols, market makers, exchanges, or auditors (nice to have)
