COMPANY

0X API

0x 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.

Tens 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.

As 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.

YOUR ROLE AS A PRODUCT MANAGER FOR 0X API

0x API is one of 0x Labs long term bets to grow access to decentralized markets and smart contracts. This means establishing and growing 0x API as the liquidity infrastructure for the internet and onboarding the next wave of DeFi developers and builders. In this role you will be responsible for driving the 0x API’s product roadmap — ideating and developing new features for new and existing integrators. You will do that by partnering with engineers to turn ideas into reality.

WHO YOU ARE

First 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 adept at analyzing tradeoffs between different solutions and ideas, you aim to make the most of the resources at your disposal, and you're scrappy enough to pull together more resources when necessary. You're capable of and enjoy inspiring and mobilizing the teams you work with towards ambitious goals.

You 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.

0x 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.
