Product Manager, Remittances & Off-Ramps

Company Description

Founded in July 2021, TBD is one of Block's four business units, alongside Square, Cash App, and Tidal.  At TBD, we believe in a decentralized future that returns ownership and control over your finances, data, and identity. Guided by this vision, TBD is building an open source platform and developer infrastructure that enables everyone to access and participate in the global economy.

TBD is inviting the world to join us in building and adopting open and decentralized technologies that solve real problems for real people — from next generation infrastructure that lowers the cost of global payments and enables frictionless commerce, to decentralized identity technologies that enable anyone to access and participate in the global economy.  Our mission advances economic empowerment through the power of decentralized solutions, built open source and collaboratively.

The offerings we build will provide developers, institutions, and individuals with the capabilities needed to build the next wave of innovative apps and services, and access this decentralized future.  We’re leveraging bitcoin and other decentralized technologies to reinvent the global financial system in an open and permissionless way to further Block’s mission of economic empowerment, with a global focus

Job Description

The TBD Product Management team creates and scales novel products that advance TBD’s mission, and drive monetization for TBD’s business. The growing portfolio of developer products is designed to catalyze ecosystems of decentralized identity, trust, and financial services. 

We’re seeking an exceptional Product Leader to build developer products and services that help increase financial access globally, starting with (1) cross-border remittance payments and (2) off-ramps from stablecoins and Bitcoin to fiat currencies in different jurisdictions. These products will be built on top of tbDEX, an open source, decentralized, and permissionless protocol for value exchange. The developer facing products that you launch should make it safe and easy for enterprise and app developers to provide financial services to their customers, and for financial institutions to offer financial services through tbDEX. 

This position will report to the TBD Product Management Lead, Tom Shane.
