Description

This is a full-time Head of Product position. You will own the product function end-to-end: deciding what we build, who we build it for, and how we know it is working. You will work closely with our scientists, engineers, and BD team to turn deep research into products people actually want to use.

Responsibilities

In this role, you will split your time between the following responsibilities as needed:

• Own the product roadmap
  • Decide what we build next and why, in collaboration with the senior leadership
  • Write clear specs that capture the problem, the user, and the success criteria
  • Cut scope ruthlessly to ship faster and learn sooner
• Design the user experience
  • Map out user flows for complex on-chain interactions and make them feel simple
  • Work with designers and engineers to turn flows into shipped product
  • Build opinionated taste into every screen, transaction, and error state
• Run experiments and measure what matters
  • Define the metrics that tell us whether a product is working
  • Instrument products properly and set up dashboards the whole team can read
  • Design and run A/B tests where the traffic supports it, and qualitative experiments where it does not
  • Treat the roadmap as a series of hypotheses to validate or kill
• Stay close to the market
  • Use the products our partners, competitors, and the rest of the ecosystem ship, every day
  • Know the major protocols, wallets, aggregators, and frontends, and the people building them
  • Track what users are actually doing on-chain and translate that into product opportunities
