Description

About the Company

The company is the world's first licensed hybrid decentralized exchange (DEX), on a mission to make wealth-building as natural as daily life. It is building a compliant, self-custodial platform for premium tokenized strategies—from crypto to alternative investments—on trusted infrastructure. Backed by top-tier investors including Further Ventures, Matrix Partners, Delphi Digital, Hack VC, QCP, and SIG.

Core Requirements

The company seeks exceptional senior individual contributors who combine strong product leadership with deep quantitative skills. Candidates should demonstrate:

  • Prior experience building or operating trading venues, exchanges, or market infrastructure
  • Strong background as a quant, trader, or financial modeler, with hands-on experience designing or validating trading or risk models
  • Proven Product Manager strength: Owning outcomes end-to-end, driving cross-functional alignment, writing high-quality precise specifications
  • Deep understanding of margining, liquidation, leverage, and systemic risk mechanics
  • Strong operational mindset and comfort owning systems in production
  • Excellent communication skills, especially explaining complex quantitative reasoning clearly
  • Sound judgment under ambiguity and high-stakes decision-making

Responsibilities

1) Quantitative Product Ownership

  • Devise and own consistent, coherent quantitative direction across trading, margining, liquidation, lending, and risk-related products
  • Ensure models, parameters, and mechanisms form a harmonious system
  • Own end-to-end correctness, feasibility, and desirability in production, preventing edge cases, stress scenarios, and failures
  • Handle feedback on quantitative behavior: Answer questions, diagnose issues, drive fixes
  • Treat post-launch as ongoing design, refining models based on outcomes while prioritizing consistency

2) Cross-Functional Leadership & Execution

  • Serve as product owner for complex quantitative areas
  • Write clear, precise specifications for engineers
  • Translate concepts for diverse audiences: Simplified models for users/partners, implementation details for engineers, risk framing for leadership
  • Drive alignment: Surface concerns, address feedback, secure decisions
  • Validate implementations through deep testing, focusing on edge cases, and remain accountable for correctness

3) Operational Ownership & Risk Management (Primary Focus)

  • Take on-call responsibility for quantitative systems and risk-sensitive behavior
  • Respond to incidents involving abnormal trading, liquidation anomalies, margin/risk issues, or extreme markets
  • Make real-time decisions: Diagnose root causes, advise mitigations, balance user impact and safety
  • Lead post-incident analysis: Address root causes, integrate learnings
  • Proactively identify and mitigate systemic risks with teams
  • Design products for operability: Observability, explainability, safe failure modes
