Responsibilities

specific opinions about how Hyperliquid, Aster, dydx, and Drift have made their product choices.

You follow the design space — funding mechanisms, oracle construction, ADL versus insurance-fund tradeoffs, cross- versus isolated-margin accounting — closely enough to argue for a position, not just summarize what others have shipped.

We are seeking a Senior Product Manager, Trading with deep, hands-on experience shipping product at an orderbook trading venue to work on Strium – a DeFi L1 blockchain with an on-chain orderbook exchange.

You will own a core surface of the exchange — order types and margin, the programmatic / API trading surface, or listings and risk parameters — and ship its v1 in partnership with engineering, risk, and our market making partners.

You will operate as the primary product interface to market makers and high-volume traders, translating their requirements into specifications that engineering can build against, and pushing back when the right answer for the venue differs from the loudest voice.

You will define how we measure ourselves against similar products such as Hyperliquid, Aster, dydx, and the DEXs that matter, and run honest reviews against those benchmarks.

About the Company

In partnership with one of the largest financial conglomerates, we are creating a secure, transparent, and high-performance trading infrastructure that can support institutional volumes while remaining accessible to retail participants. Our strategy to achieve this is by first bringing in Japanese RWAs on-chain, and then eventually all kinds of global assets. We are building a next-generation DeFi L1 blockchain powered by a decentralized exchange with a fully on-chain order book, supporting both spot and perpetual trading, and more.
