COMPANY
At 0x, our mission is to eliminate the complexity of accessing tokens and liquidity. We deliver this to web3 builders with a delightfully simple suite of developer APIs that provide faster trading, better prices, and superior user experience.
Founded in 2017, we’ve processed over 60M+ million transactions and $130B+ in trading volume from users trading on Matcha, Coinbase Wallet, Robinhood Wallet, Phantom, Rainbow, DefiLlama, MetaMask, Zerion, Trust Wallet, and many more. Our investors include Greylock Partners, Pantera Capital, and Jump Crypto.
We are looking for a senior software engineer, backend focussed, that has a passion for building DeFi solutions. You have a high degree of integrity, learn and adapt quickly, and seek to make a positive impact on the lives of those who use the systems you build. We hire engineers that have solid fundamentals, are intelligent, have strong learning agility, and are nice people.
0X API
0x API is liquidity infrastructure for the internet. It provides developers seamless access to aggregated liquidity, enabling the future of Decentralized Finance applications on Ethereum as well as other blockchain networks. The 0x API is designed to make it easy for DeFi developers to tap into DEX liquidity in a fast, reliable, and easy to use way so they can focus on what matters: their product.
Tens of companies of all sizes — from public companies like Coinbase to DeFi native applications like Matcha and Zapper — use 0x API to enable trading, investing and portfolio management. Since launch in early 2020, 0x API has facilitated over 5 million trades from nearly one million unique users — adding up to more than $37B in traded volume.
As a Product Manager on the 0x API team, you’ll play a key role in building out our fastest growing product and a common engine amongst DeFi applications. You’ll also work closely with an amazing group of product and engineering trailblazers.
YOUR ROLE AS A PRODUCT MANAGER FOR 0X API
0x API is one of 0x Labs long term bets to grow access to decentralized markets and smart contracts. This means establishing and growing 0x API as the liquidity infrastructure for the internet and onboarding the next wave of DeFi developers and builders. In this role you will be responsible for driving the 0x API’s product roadmap — ideating and developing new features for new and existing integrators. You will do that by partnering with engineers to turn ideas into reality.
WHO YOU ARE
First and foremost, you are passionate about solving difficult problems and creating meaningful products. You are a creative and logical human that is 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 users. You have a natural inclination to identify solutions to real problems, formulate plans on how to bring them to life and become obsessed about figuring out whether your hunch was right. You are agile when digesting learnings, and comfortable with ambiguity.
0x API is a DeFi native product and we operate in a nascent, rapidly evolving industry. The projects you’ll end up working on will sometimes demand knowledge of early, niche, and/or experimental tech, and in many cases, demand that we create such tech ourselves.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Work with Product, Engineering and Data to develop and ship new products and services to help 0x API onboard the next wave of DeFi developers and builders.
- Research and intimately understand our integrators’ goals, needs, and pain points. Translate them into short-, medium-, and long-term product roadmaps that address these problems and opportunities.
- Establish 1-1 relationships with high-value integrators, together with the rest of the team.
- Use data to understand how integrators and their users are using 0x API and identify opportunities for growth.
- Craft metrics that accurately reflect your organization’s goals and work to influence them with the team.
- Evaluate trade-offs between different decisions and clearly communicate these decisions to a range of different audiences.
- Clearly communicate your team’s priorities and product roadmap across the company, and drive consensus around any conflicts.
- Be a public face for 0x when meeting with other teams, speaking at events, and/or writing external-facing materials.
