About the Role

You will own the product strategy, roadmap, and execution for our first-party DeFi products across DeepBook, DeepBook Predict, and the DeepBook app. You'll manage and grow product lines from early discovery through launch, iteration, and scaled adoption, while defining and tracking core metrics like liquidity depth, routed volume, active users, conversion, retention, capital efficiency, and institutional usage. You'll work closely with engineering and design to translate user, partner, and market needs into clear requirements and high-quality experiences, and partner with business development, ecosystem, marketing, and legal teams to bring products to market. You'll build trusted relationships with DeFi protocols, market makers, wallets, aggregators, liquidity providers, and institutional users, identifying opportunities that make Sui more compelling for financial applications and converting users and partners into active on-chain behavior.

  • Strong understanding of finance and financial concepts as they relate to DeFi, including liquidity, market structure, risk, yield, capital efficiency, and user incentives.
  • Fluency in DeFi
  • Ability to communicate clearly with customers, partners, and internal teams, including the ability to understand user needs and convert them into product decisions.
  • Strong analytical instincts and comfort building dashboards, experiments, and product operating rhythms.
