Requirements
Candidates must have 5+ years of product or technical program management experience, including 2+ years delivering on-chain products to mainnet. Strong technical fluency in Solana, Rust, and DeFi mechanics is required, along with the ability to navigate regulated environments like KYC and legal reviews.
Job Description
At R3, we are building the on-ramp for the next trillion dollars of assets to move on-chain, bridging the worlds of traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). We are launching institutional-grade RWA yield vaults, fully composable and integrated into Solana DeFi.
About the Role:
We're hiring a Product Manager to lead delivery and product as our protocol moves from invite-only soft launch to public launch. You'll work closely with a small, fast-moving core team of about five engineers within our 90-person product company. Your job will be to keep the roadmap accurate, decisions documented, and the launch date on track.
Initially, the role is about delivery discipline: keeping the roadmap up to date, setting meeting agendas, maintaining a decision log, and making sure engineering syncs end with clear decisions. Once you're settled in, your focus will shift to product ownership, including lending-market and DEX integrations, permissionless vaults, retail onboarding, and launching a new Earn product.
Key Responsibilities:
Delivery discipline: Own the roadmap. Share agendas ahead of meetings, take notes, and maintain a single decision log the team relies on.
Integrations: Manage third-party integrations end-to-end, including lending market partners and permissioned RWA DEX distribution. Write one-pagers and PRDs, set parameters, and see them through to production.
Engineering partnership: Turn product goals into clear, actionable issues for the core engineering team. Remove blockers daily and focus on managing scope if deadlines are at risk.
Own partner and curator flows: Collaborate with curators, custody, oracle, KYC, and fund administration partners to make sure subscription, settlement, and redemption work smoothly, on-chain and off.
Product ownership: Lead the permissionless vault, retail onboarding, and Earn product workstreams from idea to launch.
Requirements - Must Haves:
Ownership and start-up pace: You spot issues outside your main responsibilities and take action, flagging any problems early.
Web3 fluency: You know lending markets, collateral, looping, LTV, liquidation mechanics, vaults, and stablecoin yield well enough to discuss integration details with a protocol's founding team and earn their respect.
5+ years in product or technical program management, with 2+ years delivering on-chain products to mainnet as part of a crypto-native team.
Engineering credibility: You can work confidently with Rust and Solana engineers, reading technical specs, and turning product ideas into actionable issues on your own.
Comfort with regulated constraints: KYC, KYB, jurisdiction gating, and legal reviews are part of your regular workflow, not blockers.
Requirements - Nice-to-Haves:
RWA or tokenization background: NAV pricing, T+1 and T+2 settlement cycles, fund administration, and transfer restrictions on secondary markets.
Developer-facing/API product experience: API-centric products where developer experience is the differentiator.
Third party integration experience: such as DEXs, lending markets, wallets, neobanks, or exchanges, including handling commercial negotiations as well as technical work.
