Product Lead

Our mission is to make financial markets universally fair and accessible.

Who is Across?

We are a team, driven by a shared belief that financial markets should be universally accessible. Our goal is to enable anyone to attain or transfer any form of financial risk, thus empowering everyone to participate in a universally accessible financial system. We have built an optimistic oracle for web3, and are building a robust ecosystem around that core solution. Our growing team is relatively small but incredibly mighty, and strives to be an engaging leader in the DeFi community.

Where are we headed:

• We’re building foundational infrastructure for web3 and developing high quality products to showcase this.
• Our road-map is robust, and with an iterative and continuous development philosophy, we’re always building.
• We’re a global team that values diverse perspectives and top tier talent. We’re growing internationally with the support of top tier investors and advisors.

Your Impact? We’re looking for a Product Lead who has knowledge of the DeFi space and a passion for taking early stage products to scale. You’ll define and implement technical product strategy while remaining agile to market feedback in the short term and steering your team and resources accordingly.

• Execute to win: align on a vision, allocate resources, and lead your team to launching and maintaining a demanded product at scale. Be willing to do what needs done to win.
• Product Operations: establish the systems and processes to define clear priorities, report on progress, prevent/overcome stuck points, and maintain alignment.
• Make data driven decisions: Evaluate product feedback and industry data to inform product strategy.
• Community Strategy: navigate and leverage community strengths and involvement to support the product growth.

Requirements:

• 5+ years full-time relatable experience
• Technical capabilities (financial knowledge an asset) and proven ability to collaborate with engineers and communities
• Successfully built and shipped web2 or web3 products at scale
• Passion for DeFi and web3 along with enthusiasm for understanding complex concepts

• Take vacation when you need it (and we really mean it).
• 100% remote, which means we encourage you to create the work environment that you thrive in.
