Technical Product Owner for DeFi products responsible for translating protocol and infrastructure complexity into clear product requirements and consumer-grade UX. Requires 3-5+ years DeFi product experience building 0-to-1 products, deep on-chain knowledge (account models, RPC/indexer reliability, cross-chain), familiarity with wallets and core DeFi scenarios, a full-stack/backend technical background, cross-functional collaboration, measurable user-growth experience, bilingual Mandarin/English, and strong smart-contract security mindset.

- Technical Product Manager (Technical PM): Possesses an engineering background and can translate protocol/infrastructure complexity into clear product requirements and a seamless user experience.
- Experience: 3–5+ years of DeFi product experience, with a track record of building products from 0 to 1 (startup or core team experience preferred; well-known EVM DeFi project experience is a plus).
Technical Capabilities
- Deep understanding of on-chain mechanisms: Account models, transaction patterns, RPC/indexer reliability, caching, and cross-chain workflows.
- Familiarity with wallet and core DeFi scenarios: Self-custodial wallets, swaps, staking, lending, yield, and token standards.
- Technical background: Full-stack or backend development foundation (React, Node, API, cloud architecture) to enable peer-to-peer technical dialogue with the engineering team.
- Bonus points: Participation in setting protocol standards (e.g., EIP proposals) or hands-on experience with OAuth/SDK integration.
Business & Product Experience
- Experience building C-end consumer-grade crypto products combined with ecosystem-focused products (onboarding, points/incentive systems, app discovery, partner integrations).
- Proven, quantifiable track record in user growth or ecosystem integration.
- Cross-functional collaboration experience across Engineering, Design, Data, and Ecosystem/BD teams.
Soft Skills & Qualities
- Strong sense of ownership and the ability to drive initiatives independently in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment.
