Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities

You ll bridge the gap between technical execution and product direction, helping to define, prioritize, and deliver new features in decentralized trading products.

You ll work closely with the CEO, CTO, and engineering team, shaping product specs, debugging features, coordinating releases, and ensuring technical excellence aligned with business goals.

This position is ideal for a developer with strong product instincts or a product-minded engineer who thrives in a fast-moving DeFi startup.

Key responsibilities

  • Translate business goals and product ideas into clear, technical specifications.

  • Work closely with developers to break down features, manage priorities, and ensure feasibility.

  • Participate in system design, testing, debugging, and product releases.

  • Contribute to product roadmap and iterate based on data and feedback.

  • Get hands-on with code, infrastructure, or QA when needed - no ivory tower product work.

  • Balance speed vs. stability, helping the team ship fast but safely.

  • Collaborate directly with founders on DeFi product strategy and implementation.


You are

  • A technical product builder - you understand code, architecture, and users.

  • Startup-minded: you prefer autonomy, quick iterations, and tangible outcomes.

  • Curious about DeFi, blockchain, and decentralized trading - or already active in this space.

  • Structured and proactive, capable of turning chaos into a clear plan.

  • Ready to relocate to Dubai and join a small, ambitious team.


Why this role

  • Direct impact - work alongside CEO & CTO on product and architecture decisions.

  • Strong upside - competitive pay + stock options.

  • Innovative DeFi focus - decentralized trading, multi-chain indexing, and automation.

  • Dubai lifestyle - international team, crypto ecosystem hub, relocation supported.



Desired Candidate Profile

Experience as a Product Engineer / Product-minded Developer / Technical PM.

  • Solid understanding of software development lifecycle (SDLC) and agile principles.
  • Strong technical grounding in backend technologies (Node.js, Python, Go, or similar).
  • Understanding of blockchain basics, smart contracts, or DeFi protocols.
  • Ability to write concise, structured product specs and user stories.
  • Analytical and problem-solving mindset.
  • French (required).

Nice to have

  • Previous hands-on development experience.
  • Exposure to DEX aggregators, trading platforms, or on-chain data systems.
  • Familiarity with Solidity, Ethers.js/Web3.js, or related stacks.
  • Experience working directly with founders or early-stage startups.
  • Interest in trading logic, tokenomics, or blockchain-based economics.
