What You’ll Do

At STON.fi, we’re expanding beyond our core DEX and DeFi protocols. We're seeking a hands-on Product Manager to systematically explore new product ideas — whether in DeFi, AI agents, crypto tooling, or beyond. This role is about spotting opportunities, shaping hypotheses, and testing them fast. You’ll lead early-stage experiments from idea to prototype, working with internal and external teams to validate or discard ideas efficiently.

• Continuously monitor trends in crypto, DeFi, AI, fintech, and adjacent emerging tech to identify white space opportunities.
• Proactively generate hypotheses for new apps, internal tools, protocol-facing features, or value-adding extensions to STON.fi.
• Design and run fast, focused experiments (MVPs, fake door tests, waitlists, landing pages, Wizard of Oz prototypes, etc.).
• Define success metrics and validation criteria before building anything. Implement basic metrics (event tracking, funnels, retention), and analyze results independently.
• Build dashboards, write exploratory queries, and interpret usage signals to guide decisions.
• Use no-code, low-code, or lightweight dev tools to ship and test product ideas fast.
• Lead small, cross-functional teams (internal or external) to bring promising ideas to first live versions.
• Evaluate product/market fit potential, strategic alignment, and economic viability of new initiatives.
• Prioritize based on speed of learning and commercial upside, not internal complexity.
• Align exploration tracks with STON.fi strategy and identify when to double down or kill.

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in product management, growth, or early-stage product design.
• Proven track record of taking products or features from zero to launch under high uncertainty.
• Deep curiosity about DeFi and emerging crypto primitives; ability to reason from first principles.
• Hands-on analytics skills: ability to work with Amplitude, Mixpanel, GA4 or similar tools.
• Fluent in writing SQL queries (BigQuery, Clickhouse, PostgreSQL, etc.) and building simple dashboards.
• Strong grasp of experimentation frameworks and iterative product development.
• Hands-on builder mindset — you can prototype yourself (with no-code tools or scripts) and don't need to wait for a team.
• Experience managing contractors, designers, or part-time developers to get early versions out the door.
• Structured thinker who can de-risk ideas with minimal effort and communicate findings clearly.
• Comfortable working across multiple tracks, switching contexts, and managing short feedback loops.
• Fluent in both Russian and English (spoken and written).
