  • Translate the company’s mission into clear product milestones and success metrics that balance user experience, scalability, and decentralization.
  • Push the Fuel Ignition team to shape the underlying blockchain to meet the orderbook’s high performance requirements.
  • Lead product discovery: identify user pain points, analyze competitors, and validate hypotheses with real usage data and user interviews.

Data-Driven Decision Making

  • Define core KPIs (volumes, retention, liquidity depth, user growth) and use analytics to inform prioritization and roadmap iteration.
  • Establish frameworks for experimentation (A/B tests, on-chain metrics, incentive feedback loops).
  • Continuously drive execution toward those goals.

Team Building & Culture

  • Recruit, mentor, and develop team members as the organization scales.
  • Foster a culture of ownership, iteration, curiosity, and speed while maintaining product quality and user trust.

Requirements

  • Proven track record of launching and scaling complex financial or trading products (crypto, fintech, or exchanges).
  • User acquisition and growth experience–work tightly with marketing and business development to bring traders and related parties onto the platform.
  • Strong analytical mindset—comfortable using data to drive decisions and assess product performance.
  • Exceptional communication skills: able to align technical and non-technical stakeholders on a shared vision.
  • Passion for decentralized systems, user empowerment, and building products that redefine financial access.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience as an early-stage startup or founding product leader.
  • Familiarity with on-chain data analysis and tools like Dune, Nansen, or Flipside.

  • Contributions to DeFi or open-source protocols.

Benefits

  • High Impact: You’ll shape the core product and direction of an emerging decentralized exchange from its earliest stages.
