  • Collaborate with internal crypto product teams to ensure platform solutions unlock new product opportunities.
  • Design funds-flow controls, transaction limits, and circuit breakers to support safe operation under normal and stressed conditions.
  • Define success metrics and rigorously measure performance, efficiency, and system health.
  • Lead complex build-vs-buy evaluations, including vendor assessments for custody and blockchain infrastructure.
  • Stay current with emerging crypto technologies, protocols, custody models, and regulatory changes that may impact platform strategy.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Proven track record launching, or operating stablecoins or asset-backed digital currencies, including hands-on involvement in issuance, redemption, or on-chain value transfer.
  • Strong technical fluency across distributed systems, APIs, and blockchain-based transaction flows, with the ability to engage deeply in architecture and design discussions with engineering.
  • Experience defining and managing mint/burn controls, funds-flow rules, transaction limits, and operational safeguards for digital money products.
  • Experience partnering with engineering to navigate architecture decisions and technical trade-offs.
  • Demonstrated ability to balance long-term platform investments with near-term delivery needs.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, particularly with engineering, security, compliance, legal, and analytics.
  • Strong judgment balancing regulatory rigor, system reliability, and product velocity in ambiguous and high-stakes environments.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to simplify technical complexity for diverse stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications
