The Prospect

A top-performing Layer 1 blockchain project—already a top 10 by TVL—is hiring a Head of Product to lead core product strategy across its protocol infrastructure, DeFi stack, and user-facing applications.

This is a rare opportunity to take the reins on a suite of high-impact, crypto-native products with real traction, institutional backing, and a powerful incentive model embedded at the protocol layer.

What You’ll Do

• Own the roadmap for the protocol’s most critical products — including consensus design, staking UX, and DeFi primitives (DEX, lending, governance)
• Define and execute a clear vision across staking, liquidity coordination, and on-chain user flows
• Align product direction with token incentives, user growth, and ecosystem expansion

Cross-functional Execution

• Work closely with engineering (core, frontend, smart contracts), design, and growth teams to ship well-integrated, user-centric features
• Translate complex protocol mechanics into intuitive experiences for developers and end-users
• Build tight feedback loops with ecosystem teams to prioritize high-impact initiatives

Leadership & Scaling

• Establish and scale a high-performing product function — roadmap planning, spec development, QA, and iteration
• Drive research, testing, and analytics to uncover new opportunities
• Contribute to go-to-market plans for upcoming launches

Background:

• 5–10+ years in product leadership, ideally in crypto, DeFi, or developer-facing platforms
• Track record of shipping complex, cross-functional products in fast-paced environments
• Deep understanding of token models, DeFi primitives, and Layer 1 blockchain infrastructure

You Bring:

• High technical fluency (staking, governance, DEXs, stablecoins,
  
  
  
  etc.)
• Proven leadership and stakeholder management in cross-functional, remote teams
• Strategic thinking, user obsession, and an instinct for scalable architecture
• Bonus: hands-on experience bringing protocol products from testnet to mainnet
• Meaningful token upside with long-term alignment
• Remote-first culture with global teammates
• Ownership over some of the most innovative product work in Web3
• Direct access to founders and key decision-makers
