Product Lead - Cycles Protocol

Type: Full Time

Location: Remote (Canada, US)

Team: Cycles


About Cycles

The Cycles team at Informal Systems is part of a startup effort within the company that is changing the landscape of payments and credit, enabling DeFi to connect to the real world. Cycles represents a visionary leap towards redefining monetary policy and the fundamental structure of payment systems.


The Cycles product is both a blockchain clearing protocol and an API-based solution that improves businesses’ sustainability by reducing their cash flow needs and working capital costs. It provides a new platform for building lending and finance protocols that tap into the obligation graph. Our team consists of world leaders in liquidity-saving payment solutions for real businesses and the underlying science that makes this liquidity-saving possible.


About the Role

We are looking for a crypto-native Product Lead to work closely with our team on defining and executing the product roadmap and strategy to bring this transformative technology to market. The goal is to iteratively realize the potential of the Cycles vision through delightful products that impact the lives of real customers. The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of the current crypto payments and DeFi landscape and a passion for transitioning financial use cases onto blockchain technology. Product experience within the crypto, payments, and finance industries is essential. Ideally, the candidate will have a technical background to play a key role in leading software development efforts alongside product strategy.


What sets us apart

Informal Systems has a strong, collaborative, remote-first culture that prioritizes delivery of results, innovation and ownership. The Cycles business unit has deep economic, product development and software engineering experience. The company has deep theoretical and practical distributed systems experience outside of the business unit.


What your primary responsibilities will be:

  • Own the product vision, feature set, and roadmap. You will conceive, build, and maintain product, platform, and tooling features that deliver on our customers’ needs.
  • Take a leading role with the development team, leveraging your technical expertise to help prioritize project epics and sprints.
  • Work directly with current and potential customers to understand their needs and prioritize development accordingly.
  • Contribute to product design, development, testing, integration, and distribution.
  • Build strong relationships with integration partners and distribution channels to get our products into the hands of businesses.
  • Work closely with the executive team to support the development and growth of Cycles at Informal Systems.


What we look for in a successful Product Lead:

  • You have more than 5 years of total product management experience, having shipped several commercial products or platforms. You have at least 2 years of product experience working in the crypto industry. This is not a junior position so experience is a must-have
  • You have previous domain expertise working for a crypto protocol, an exchange, or a finance focused application
  • Ideally you have previous technical experience with building financial products in Web2 and Web3
  • You are tremendously excited by the prospect of financial services built on crypto assets and public blockchain infrastructure
  • You are detail-oriented, highly analytical and comfortable digging into data.
  • You have led numerous complex product initiatives from inception to completion and have successfully maintained and expanded products that generated revenue
  • You are an excellent communicator, both verbally and in writing, and are adept at interacting with customers, executives, architects, and developers. You can influence stakeholders and build consensus

Some of our benefits include:

  • A unique, caring and friendly culture (learn more about how we work here)
  • 25 days (5 weeks) of paid vacation annually, plus 3 Spiritual Days
  • Company closure from December 25th to January 1
  • Annual Lifestyle benefits (reimbursements for gym memberships, fitness equipment, etc)
  • A remote-first, flexible work environment
  • A home-office stipend to set you up for success
  • Annual company retreats
  • Paid parental leave
  • ….. and many more
