  • Required Skills and Experience:

  • 5+ years of product management experience shipping developer-facing or API-first products, ideally custody, wallets, or fintech infrastructure.
  • Deep understanding of crypto custody models (self-custody, MPC, qualified custodian) and DeFi primitives (lending, vaults, onchain yield).
  • Track record of shipping 0-to-1 products with engineering teams and taking them to production scale with enterprise customers.
  • Comfort operating in regulated environments; experience partnering with legal and compliance on licensing, asset segregation, and risk frameworks.
  • Data-driven prioritization: you define success metrics up front and hold the team accountable to adoption and revenue outcomes.
  • Utilizes generative AI responsibly, maintaining human oversight to deliver business-ready outputs and drive measurable improvements in workflow efficiency, cost, and quality.
