Technical Product Owner for DeFi products responsible for translating protocol and infrastructure complexity into clear product requirements and consumer-grade UX. Requires 3-5+ years DeFi product experience building 0-to-1 products, deep on-chain knowledge (account models, RPC/indexer reliability, cross-chain), familiarity with wallets and core DeFi scenarios, a full-stack/backend technical background, cross-functional collaboration, measurable user-growth experience, bilingual Mandarin/English, and strong smart-contract security mindset.
Core Positioning
- Technical Product Manager (Technical PM): Possesses an engineering background and can translate protocol/infrastructure complexity into clear product requirements and a seamless user experience.
- Experience: 3–5+ years of DeFi product experience, with a track record of building products from 0 to 1 (startup or core team experience preferred; well-known EVM DeFi project experience is a plus).
Technical Capabilities
- Deep understanding of on-chain mechanisms: Account models, transaction patterns, RPC/indexer reliability, caching, and cross-chain workflows.
- Familiarity with wallet and core DeFi scenarios: Self-custodial wallets, swaps, staking, lending, yield, and token standards.
- Technical background: Full-stack or backend development foundation (React, Node, API, cloud architecture) to enable peer-to-peer technical dialogue with the engineering team.
- Bonus points: Participation in setting protocol standards (e.g., EIP proposals) or hands-on experience with OAuth/SDK integration.
Business & Product Experience
- Experience building C-end consumer-grade crypto products combined with ecosystem-focused products (onboarding, points/incentive systems, app discovery, partner integrations).
- Proven, quantifiable track record in user growth or ecosystem integration.
- Cross-functional collaboration experience across Engineering, Design, Data, and Ecosystem/BD teams.
Soft Skills & Qualities
- Strong sense of ownership and the ability to drive initiatives independently in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment.
- Fluent in both Chinese and English (for team and ecosystem communication).
- A strong, smart-contract-first mindset regarding on-chain security.

What you need to know about the Belfast Tech Scene
If asked to name the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, you might not say Belfast. Similarly, if asked to name Europe's leading destination for foreign direct investment in new software development, Belfast might not come to mind. Yet, both are true. The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
