Job summary

The Vault is seeking a Product Owner to own the end-to-end product vision for our MPC-based custody and wallet platform. You will bridge cryptography, engineering, security, and compliance to translate constraints into actionable requirements and a compelling roadmap.

You will lead discovery with customers and stakeholders, define core capabilities, and balance features with platform hardening and technical debt, while representing the platform in partner and auditor conversations.

Qualifications

• Proven experience as a Product Owner or Product Manager on a technical platform.
• Working understanding of custody and key-management concepts: MPC / threshold signatures, HSMs, hardware wallets, recovery and policy engines.
• Ability to engage credibly with cryptographers, security engineers, and auditors — and to turn their constraints into product decisions.
• Excellent written specification skills: unambiguous requirements, acceptance criteria, and documentation.
• Experience balancing regulatory and audit obligations with commercial product goals.
• Strong stakeholder management and external communication skills; fluent English and Russian.
• Nice to Have: Hands-on experience with blockchain protocols, wallets, or web3 products as a user or builder.
• Exposure to security audits, penetration testing cycles, or compliance frameworks in a regulated environment.
• Experience serving both institutional and retail user segments on one platform.

Responsibilities

• Own and evolve the product vision, roadmap, and requirements for our MPC-based custody and wallet infrastructure.
• Prioritise the product backlog across customer commitments, security audit findings, cryptographic research milestones, and regulatory obligations.
• Translate cryptographic and security constraints into clear, testable product requirements with well-defined acceptance criteria.
• Define core platform capabilities: threshold signing, HSM and Ledger integration with non-extractable key shares, recovery and policy flows, and chain and asset coverage.
• Lead customer and stakeholder discovery, and produce high-quality written specifications.
• Make product-level trade-offs between new features, platform hardening, and technical debt.
• Serve as the primary product interface between cryptography research, engineering, security, compliance, design, and customer-facing teams.
• Represent the platform externally in partner, auditor, and investor conversations.
• Relocation package and visa support.
• Flexible remote work or Limassol office collaboration with a senior, technically deep team.
