Type: Full-time, Executive

About the Role

Our well funded client is building a privacy-native, EVM-compatible Layer 2 designed to wrap stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets with zero-knowledge protections. This founding-level product leadership role will own the roadmap, guide technical direction, and drive GTM strategy for a first-of-its-kind privacy-preserving L2.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and execute the product roadmap for a ZK-enabled Layer 2 unified ledger.

• Collaborate with engineering to define architecture for privacy-preserving stablecoin and RWA wrapping.

• Partner with cryptography teams to integrate and scale advanced ZK smart contract systems.

• Design intuitive onboarding flows for institutions, asset issuers, and developers.

• Lead cross-functional GTM strategy for platform adoption.

• Interface with clients, partners, and developers to align product evolution with ecosystem needs.

Requirements

• 7–12+ years in blockchain product leadership, including 2+ years in a top-tier Layer 2 project.

• Deep understanding of rollup architecture, ZKPs, and privacy systems.

• Proven track record launching developer-facing platforms or protocols from concept to scale.

• Strong GTM experience in crypto infra, stablecoins, or tokenization.

• Startup mindset: hands-on, fast-moving, and comfortable with ambiguity.

Nice to Have

• Experience at a stablecoin issuer or L2 within an exchange.

• Background in zero-knowledge cryptography, protocol design, or compliance tooling.

• Knowledge of smart contract standards, bridges, and interoperability.
