Responsibilities

Own product area end-to-end, from vision and strategy through execution, launch, and ongoing iteration for DeFi Borrow
Define and drive the multi-year roadmap for crypto-backed loans on Coinbase, from initial borrow flows to advanced loan management, refinements, and new product surfaces across web and mobile
Set clear OKRs across multiple workstreams (e.g., loan origination, positions/loan management, balances and performance, liquidation, and observability) and drive cross‑functional collaboration to achieve them
Partner closely with Engineering to ship resilient, scalable borrowing experiences—spanning core loan workflows, loan state tracking, liquidation monitoring, and observability—while balancing speed, safety, and reliability
Work with Risk, Compliance, Legal, and Finance partners to ensure DeFi Borrow products meet regulatory, risk, and controls expectations while preserving an excellent customer experience
Maintain a rigorous operational bar through launch runbooks, on‑call preparedness, degraded‑UI strategies, and incident playbooks that keep DeFi Borrow reliable through market volatility and edge cases
Champion a “crypto‑forward” product approach—leveraging onchain data, protocols, and primitives to build differentiated borrowing experiences that could only exist in the cryptoeconomy

Required

5+ years of Product Management experience, with a track record of shipping impactful consumer or prosumer financial products at scale
Experience building or scaling complex financial or lending products (e.g., margin, credit, secured loans, DeFi borrowing) where you balanced user experience, risk, and business performance
Comfort with technical systems and onchain concepts; you can partner effectively with engineers working on smart contracts, loan workflows, and integrations with internal services and external protocols
Proven ability to define and drive multi-quarter strategy: set a clear narrative, translate it into roadmaps and experiments, and deliver measurable results against growth and portfolio-health goals
Strong analytical and product judgment: you're comfortable digging into funnels, cohort behavior, risk/return tradeoffs, and market structure while still sweating UX details
User-obsessed mindset with the ability to simplify complex financial and onchain concepts into clear, trustworthy experiences for a broad consumer audience

Experience working directly with DeFi lending protocols (e.g., Morpho, Aave, Compound) or onchain money markets, either as a builder or an advanced user
Background in credit, risk, or capital markets, especially in secured lending or collateralized products
Experience expanding onchain ecosystems with developers, creators, or consumers (for example, launching new markets, collateral types, or integrations across ecosystems)
