Our mission is to create the world’s most trusted, privacy-enabled, and interoperable digital infrastructure for global finance.\nAt the heart of this mission is the Canton Network - the blockchain purpose-built for institutional finance. Uniquely combining privacy, compliance, and scalability, Canton enables real-time, secure settlement across multiple asset classes. Governed by the Canton Foundation with participation from leading financial institutions, it is the proven link between the promise of blockchain and the power of global finance.\nFounded in 2014 and headquartered in New York City, with offices in London, Zurich, Budapest, Hong Kong, and Sydney- we are on a mission to transform finance- and that transformation is now playing out rapidly on the Canton Network.\nIf you’re interested in playing a crucial role at the intersection of traditional and crypto-capital markets and want to help bring the next trillion dollars of finance on-chain, join us.\nAbout the role:\nSplice forms the public operating layer of Canton, including the Canton Coin application, the network’s tokenomics, fees, and incentives, the Canton Name Service (CNS), and network governance mechanisms. These components determine how the network functions economically, how participants are incentivized, and how change is introduced over time.\nA successful candidate in this role will provide strong evidence of their ability to analyze ambiguous situations, make sound decisions with imperfect information, hold themselves accountable for making good judgement calls.\nThe role is not primarily focused on execution management or feature delivery, but rather on analysis and decision making. You will be expected to exercise independent judgment on matters that materially affect the network’s technical and economic trajectory, in collaboration with a diverse set of stakeholders including node and infrastructure operators, application providers, and the Canton Foundation.\nYou will work as a close partner to the core engineering team that has built, and operated nodes in, Canton’s public network infrastructure over multiple years.\nResponsibilities:\nOwn the Strategic Direction of Digital Asset’s Contributions to Splice\nYou’ll define, defend, and evolve the roadmap for Digital Asset’s contributions to Splice, while engaging with and responding to the interests of a wide range of stakeholders in the Splice contributor base and in the Canton Network as a whole. You are accountable for prioritization decisions and for the quality of reasoning behind them.\n\nMake Hard Trade-Offs Explicit\nUse structured analysis, modeling, and first-principles reasoning to evaluate protocol changes, incentive mechanisms, and governance proposals. You will be expected to articulate why certain paths are chosen-and others are not.\n\nOperate at the Ecosystem Level\nAlign the interests of the Canton Foundation, application providers, validators, and internal stakeholders into a coherent product direction, even when incentives are misaligned.\n\nLead Through Expertise\nGuide development across a distributed open-source contributor base. Influence is earned through clarity, technical credibility, and sound judgment.\n\nCommunicate for Decision-Makers\nProduce clear, written artifacts that explain complex technical and economic issues to senior engineers, executives, external partners, and governance bodies.\n\nAnticipate Long-Horizon Risk\nWork with architects to identify long-horizon risks in distributed systems design and protocol economics, and ensure they are addressed before becoming constraints on network growth. \n\nAdapt and Optimize\nRegularly adjust and reprioritize work to get the most useful results with minimal engineering effort. Regularly work with engineers to remove scope and adjust designs to focus on the essence of each problem and avoid unnecessary wor\n\nWhat We're Looking For:\nThis role requires deep experience. Candidates should expect interviews that probe their reasoning and strategic decisions on similar projects. \n10+ years of product management experience, including ownership of strategy for complex, long-lived platforms.\n\nDemonstrated depth in distributed systems, Web3, or financial infrastructure, including BFT consensus, incentive mechanisms, and transaction lifecycles.\n\nProven effectiveness in open-source or multi-stakeholder environments where formal authority is limited.\n\nExperience partnering with senior engineers and architects on foundational system design.\n\nExcellent verbal and written communication skills in English\n\nNice to Have:\nFormal background in computer science or software engineering.\n\nDirect experience with Daml, Canton, or comparable protocol-level systems.\n\nExperience designing or evaluating incentive mechanisms or governance models.\n\nLocation:\nBased in New York City or Zurich. Limited international travel (2-4 weeks per year).\nThis position may be based in New York or Zurich. Compensation will be determined based on the successful candidate's location and experience.\nThe range below may vary if based outside the New York tri-state area (New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut). Base salaries are determined during our interview process, during which we assess the candidate's experience, skills, and capabilities against internal peers and the scope and responsibilities of the position.\nUS Pay Transparency\n$200,000—$250,000 USD\n#LI-Hybrid\nAt Digital Asset, we are committed to compensation structures that reward impact consistently across our global teams. We support our people at every stage of life with comprehensive, family-forward benefits and flexible working models designed to help you do your best work.\nBenefits We offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support the well-being of our team members.
