Responsibilities

• Drive financial requirements for best-in-class crypto smart contracts. You will own the financial product requirements that govern the smart contracts-contract development. This means taking structured products and options terms and distilling them into requirements that the engineering team can use to drive their smart contract development.
• Help build delightful and user-friendly web3 experiences. Web3 experiences have a bad rep. It’s our goal to not let our users experience the same thing. You will drive the requirements for our user-facing product experiences whether they are a first time user, a defi-degen, or a our sanic (our OG user).
• Help create secure and reliable internal systems. Behind every successful protocol are countless backend and internal systems that help keep smart contracts running. You’ll work with the trading and backend teams to define requirements to keep our internal systems working like clockwork
• Work with our rockstar engineering team to ship projects big and small. You’ll also be working cross-functionally with the trading team, sales team, and marketing teams

Required Qualifications

You have experience launching large, complex, multi-functional projects

You are a defi-degen

• You live and breathe defi, know about all the new protocols, you avidly follow defi’s latest news and twitter, you have aped into successful and unsuccessful projects. You can explain the difference between Uniswap v3 and v4.

Nice to Have

• Coding experience with scripting languages (Javascript being most useful) or smart contract languages (Solidity for EVM programs, Rust for Solana programs)

Important Traits

• Strong ownership - you take pride in what you ship, take responsibility for goals and timelines, and communicate issues/blockers clearly
