Jobbeschreibung

About the Company

Our client is a Web3 engineering studio building decentralized trading infrastructure — multi-chain indexing, DEX aggregation, execution logic, and trading automation.

Already generating 7-figure ARR and growing quickly, the company moves fast: short iteration cycles, “hackathon energy,” and full ownership from every team member.
Small team, high impact — no bureaucracy, no layers of management, no slowdowns.

Location & Work Mode

On-site in Dubai (relocation expected).
The team spends most of the year in Dubai.
Travel & lodging assistance is fully provided.
Remote is not the target for this role.

Compensation

• Competitive package (crypto preferred)

• Stock options / equity

• Planned salary increases every few months

• Long-term partnership mindset (not short contracts)

About the Role

This is not a classic Product Owner role.

Our client is looking for a Product Engineer — someone technical enough to understand the systems being built and product-minded enough to shape what gets built next.

You’ll sit at the intersection of product + engineering:

• translating ideas into specs

• breaking features into actionable blocks

• coordinating engineering work

• debugging, testing, verifying

• ensuring what gets shipped matches the business logic

• helping structure chaos into a clear plan

• jumping into code or infra when necessary

This is perfect for a developer who wants more product responsibility, or a product-minded engineer who enjoys fast-moving DeFi environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Turn business goals into clear technical specs.

• Break down features with engineers and help prioritize them.

• Support system design, testing, debugging, and release coordination.

• Work with CEO/CTO on roadmap, requirements, and impact assessment.

• Jump into hands-on tasks when needed (debugging, QA, infra checks).

• Balance speed with stability — ship fast, but safely.

• Keep communication tight and ownership high in a small team.

You Are

• A technical product builder who understands both code and product logic.

• Comfortable switching between specs, debugging, and coordination.

• Curious about DeFi, blockchain, trading, or already active in the space.

• Autonomous, structured, and proactive — you turn chaos into clarity.

• Someone who thrives in small, high-ownership teams.

• Ready to relocate to Dubai.

Must-Have

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

• Strong understanding of SDLC and modern engineering practices.

• Solid grounding in backend technologies (Node.js, Python, Go, etc.).

• Understanding of blockchain basics, smart contracts, or DeFi protocols.

• Ability to write clear, concise specs.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset.

• French (required).

Nice to Have

• Hands-on development experience.

• Background with DEX aggregators, trading systems, or on-chain data.

• Familiarity with Solidity, Ethers.js/Web3.js.

• Experience in early-stage or founder-led startups.

• Interest in trading logic, tokenomics, or DeFi economics.

Why This Role

• Direct impact — close collaboration with CEO & CTO.

• Strong compensation + meaningful equity.

• Work on deep-tech DeFi: decentralized trading, multi-chain indexing, automation.

• Dubai lifestyle + relocation support.

Hiring Process

• 30-min pre-screen call

• CTO profile review

• Short intro call with CEO (recorded)

• Technical & product deep-dive with CTO (live, no required take-home)
