What we’re looking for

Crypto Lending is an innovative product that allows exchanges, asset managers, fintech apps, etc. to borrow capital against their crypto holdings. Crypto holders are currently underserved as very few regulated entities accept crypto assets as collateral. We think it’s our mission to bridge this gap and we want to do so by building back and front end products for our borrowers.

We are currently looking for a Senior Product Owner to lead various initiatives and scale this team. You will be at the forefront of field development in delivering our crypto products, working closely with our capital markets team on business-driven development.

You will coordinate a cross-functional team of Engineers, Designers and Product Marketers to bring the product to life. You will join an exciting, newly formed, crypto team that deeply cares about growing with people who question assumptions, have strong judgement, execute fast, take ownership, act responsibly, help the team advance and improve its standards.
