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.

• Competitive package (crypto preferred)
• Stock options / equity

• 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)
