\nCOMPANY\n\n\nAt 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.\n\nFounded 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.\n\nWe 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.\n\n\n\n\n0X API\n\n0x 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.\n\nTens 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. \n\nAs 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.\n\n\n\nYOUR ROLE AS A PRODUCT MANAGER FOR 0X API \n\n0x API is one of 0x Labs long term bets to grow access to decentralized markets and smart contracts.

You will do that by partnering with engineers to turn ideas into reality. \n\nWHO YOU ARE\n\nFirst 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 capable of and enjoy inspiring and mobilizing the teams you work with towards ambitious goals.\n\nYou 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. \n\n0x 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.\n\nRESPONSIBILITIES\n\n\n* 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.\n\n* 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.\n\n* Establish 1-1 relationships with high-value integrators, together with the rest of the team.\n\n* Use data to understand how integrators and their users are using 0x API and identify opportunities for growth.\n\n* Craft metrics that accurately reflect your organization's goals and work to influence them with the team.\n\n* Evaluate trade-offs between different decisions and clearly communicate these decisions to a range of different audiences.\n\n* Clearly communicate your team's priorities and product roadmap across the company, and drive consensus around any conflicts.\n\n* Be a public face for 0x when meeting with other teams, speaking at events, and/or writing external-facing materials.\n\n\n\n\nREQUIRED\n\n\n* At least 3 years of Product Management managing technical software products from kick-off to ship, preferably in crypto, fintech or developer tools.\n\n* Familiarity using research, experimentation, and product analytics to guide decision making.\n\n* Experience shipping products with great user experiences at scale.\n\n* Strong communication and writing skills.\n\n\n\n\nPREFERRED\n\n\n* Experience building products with great user experiences at scale.\n\n* Technical or software engineering background.\n\n* SQL and data crunching skills\n\n* Enthusiasm for and knowledge about decentralized finance, 0x and other blockchain technologies.\n\n\n\n\nBENEFITS\n\n\n* The base salary range for this position is USD $100,000 - $200,000 + equity + ZRX tokens + benefits. Within the range, individual pay is determined by job-related skills, experience, location, business needs, and candidate preferences between the different compensation elements.\n\n* Comprehensive insurance (medical/dental/vision/life/disability) — 100% covered for you and dependents\n\n* 401k, HSA, and FSA for U.S.-based employees\n\n* Monthly mobile phone bill, wellness, and pre-tax transportation expense\n\n* Covered mental health benefits (included professional therapy sessions)\n\n* A supportive remote environment\n\n* Lunch reimbursement for all employees across the globe!\n\n* Stipend for your ideal remote / WFH set-up: laptop, headphones, and any other work gear you may need\n\n* 12-week paid parental leave\n\n* Great office conveniently located in the SF Financial District for those in the region!\n\n* Flexible vacation: Take time when you need it (and we really mean it)\n\n* Multiple annual in-person team meet-ups around the globe\n\n\n\n\n0x and its associated entities are dedicated to fostering diversity, inclusion, and belonging in its teams and workforce, and are proud to be equal opportunity employers. 0x does not make employment or hiring decisions on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, sex (including those who are pregnant or have given birth), sexual orientation, gender, gender expression or identity, age, disability, medical condition, genetic information, military or veteran status, marital status, pregnancy, citizenship, national origin, immigration or citizenship status, political affiliation, or any other basis that is protected by applicable local, state, or federal laws.
