About the Role

We're building something ambitious at the intersection of fintech and blockchain, and we need a PM/UX hybrid who can bridge the gap between on-chain complexity and seamless user experience. You'll own the full product lifecycle — from discovery and wireframes to launch and iteration — working directly with engineering and design in a lean, fast-moving environment.

Responsibilities

  • Own the product roadmap across key consumer and protocol-facing surfaces
  • Conduct user research and translate findings into clear product requirements
  • Collaborate with design to produce wireframes, prototypes, and UX flows
  • Define and track success metrics via tools like Amplitude or Mixpanel
  • Work with engineering to scope, prioritize, and ship features on tight cycles
  • Navigate KYC/KYB compliance requirements and embed them into UX without friction
  • Engage directly with early users and partners to drive feedback loops

Requirements

  • 5+ years in product management, at least 2 in a blockchain, crypto, or DeFi environment
  • Hands-on UX skills — comfortable in Figma, conducting usability tests, and writing design specs
  • Deep familiarity with blockchain primitives: wallets, smart contracts, on-chain identity, token flows
  • Experience working in a 0→1 environment; startup DNA required
  • Strong written communication — you write crisp PRDs and don't need hand-holding
  • Bonus: experience with payment rails, lending products, or protocol governance

Compensation: $130K–$170K base + equity
