Product Manager - 0x Liquidity - 0x｜Meet.jobs

COMPANY

At 0x Labs, our mission is to create a tokenized world where all value can flow freely. We're a highly technical, globally distributed group of teams working together toward actualizing that mission. In doing so, we're excited and proud to be pushing the envelope across the DeFi and Ethereum stacks.

In joining us, you'll take part in transforming the way that value is exchanged on a global scale. We're passionate about open-source software and decentralized technology's potential to act as an equalizing force in the world, and our technology is deployed by a wide array of projects at the forefront of internet and economic advancement.

Founded in 2017, 0x Labs created and now partakes in the development of 0x protocol: a network comprised of open-source infrastructure, tooling, and cryptocurrency-based incentives that allow for the decentralized exchange of any blockchain-based digital asset. 0x is a secure, publicly owned and governed, and upgradable standard that’s abstracted away from application-layer developers and enables interoperability between blockchain-based applications.

Alongside the core protocol, 0x Labs also builds and maintains a suite of network incentives, business resources, developer/trader tools (e.g., 0x API), and end-user products (e.g., Matcha).

We’re a remote-first company with core contributors in nearly ten countries and over twice as many cities. Our headquarters is in San Francisco, with an office available for anyone on the team to use at any time. We’ll consider your application regardless of where you call home.

YOUR ROLE AS A PRODUCT MANAGER FOR 0X LIQUIDITY

In this role, you will be responsible for driving the supply of 0x markets’ liquidity coming from professional Market Makers. You will do that by creating solutions that give financial institutions the ability to access to 0x markets, and provide liquidity according to their strategies.

One of 0x’s long-term bets is that such type of liquidity provisioning model will be the leading standard on decentralized exchange markets (DEXes). This means onboarding traditional finance and crypto-native institutions alike into DeFi and other forms of tokenized financial markets. As this process unfolds, you will lead the creation of products that automate the end-to-end workflows necessary to support Market Makers operations.

WHO YOU ARE

You're a passionate, creative, and logical person, able to decompose ambiguous problems into digestible pieces, prioritize solving them, and delegate tasks appropriately. You're adept at analyzing tradeoffs between different solutions and ideas, you aim to make the most of the resources at your disposal, and you're scrappy enough to pull together more resources when necessary. You're capable of (and enjoy) inspiring and mobilizing the teams you work with towards ambitious goals.

You have shipped products you are proud of, unlocking value for your users and success for your customers. You have a natural inclination to identify solutions to real problems, formulate plans on how to bring them to life. Once your product is shipped, you become obsessed with figuring out whether your assumptions were right. You are agile when digesting learnings, and comfortable with ambiguity.

We operate in a nascent, rapidly evolving industry. The projects you'll end up PMing sometimes demand knowledge of early, niche, and/or experimental tech, and in many cases, demand that we create such tech ourselves.
