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 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.
