About Acala\nAcala's mission is to build and nurture the autonomous financial infrastructure of the decentralized web. Delivering on this mission will bring more financial accessibility, opportunity, and prosperity to everyone on the planet through a new, open financial system.\nOur core project is the Acala Network itself, which we expect to become the de facto DeFi parachain and stablecoin of the Polkadot ecosystem. Polkadot provides the underlying trust primitives to our parachain, upon which weโve built our suite of financial primitives including; decentralized, multi-collateral stablecoin; trustless staking derivatives, and Decentralized Exchange. These primitives will be used by us and other teams to power open DeFi innovations, and remove the need for the intermediaries that inhabit almost every conventional trust-based financial system.\nWe have secured our support from eminent backers like Polychain, Coinbase Venture, Pantera and many more. Acala began its launch process on December 18, 2021, and we've got regular product launches and tokenomic incentive programs planned throughout 2022, so thereโs no better time to join the DeFi mission and be a part of the future that weโre building...because we're building it for you, too.\n\nNB: For the fastest response to any of our positions, apply directly on our website: acala.network/jobs\nAbout the role\n\nAs a Product Manager at Acala your goal will be to keep our team focused on building what our growing network of DeFi customers wants. It sounds easy.\nExamples of Products that you could work on include:- Acala dApps, our DeFi suite for swapping, staking and earning on Polkadot- Karura dApps, a sister suite for similar DeFi activities on Kusama- AquaDAO, Acalaโs upcoming decentralised Treasury Reserve protocol\n\nThis is an end-to-end Product Management role for an experienced leader in commercial software products, but it also requires an in-depth knowledge of DeFi application practices and the common pitfalls they succumb to. In other words youโll be taking Software Products from conception to launch, but if youโre not already an advanced DeFi user then you may find the learning curve quite steep. Beware.\n\nYou wonโt be alone. Youโll be brainstorming blockchain possibilities in a team with Lawrence & Alex, as well as the Acala founders and our Engineering Team of 20+. But you'll need to balance data-driven decisions with the technical demands of an Engineering liaison, while keeping an eye on ever-changing User Experience requirements and igniting ad-hoc UX projects as you see fit.\n\nOur ideal candidate will be an advanced DeFi user and an experienced web-based Product Manager who has already spent some time working on blockchain applications, whether commercially successful or not. At minimum we need a code-fluent Product Manager with a mature interest in decentralised applications and the general concept behind blockchain applications.\nFull Time | Contract | Competitive Salary | Remote APACWhat you'll doRoadmap; define & own Product goals with Acalaโs foundersUser Research; design & execute with our User Ops teamSoftware Requirements; from tech specs to test casesDev Liaison; steer workflows & wireframes with our Engineering teamLaunch plans; co-ordinate with our Community & Growth teamUI Enhancements; workshops with our Design TeamExternal; Occasional ad-hoc projects with other ecosystem teamsWhat it takesCommercial Software Product Management experience, 3 years minimumPassion for working with innovative Software Developers [<-- 50% of the job]Expert level knowledge of DeFi use cases, DAOs, LP/MM dynamics, etcA Demonstrable methodology for increasing efficiency across teamsSoftware Engineering background beneficial; you will regularly evaluate the technological strengths and weakness of 3rd party solutionsAlignment with our core values: Empowerment, Support & Community What we offerCompetitive contract-based compensation (you'll have to invoice us from wherever you are)Flexible working hours within Pacific timezonesCollaborative, transparent and empowering work cultureMeaningful work on creating better technologies for a fairer futureOpportunity to work in a multinational, high-performance team with diverse backgrounds\nNB: For the fastest response to any of our positions, apply directly on our website: acala.network/jobs.
