About the role
About the Role
We're looking for a Product Manager to 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 for someone who understands DeFi deeply and can move fluidly between smart contract mechanics, liquidity strategy, partnership development, and go-to-market execution.
Core 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.
What We're Looking For
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 — you don't need to write Solidity, but you should be able to speak fluently with those who do.
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.
Nice to Have
Experience with restaking, LSTs, or token launch platforms.
Background in payments, billing/metering, or fintech infrastructure.
Familiarity with AI/compute infrastructure or decentralized compute economics.
Existing network across DeFi protocols, market makers, exchanges, or auditors.
What we offer
Purpose: The opportunity to contribute to making AI a public good
Growth: A self-directed environment where you can take initiative to shape your role and career
Compensation: Market-competitive compensation including, for most roles, exposure to pre-launch tokens
