About Acala
Acala's mission is to build and nurture the autonomous financial infrastructure of the decentralized web. Delivering on this mission will bring more financial accessibility, opportunity, and prosperity to everyone on the planet through a new, open financial system.
Our core project is the Acala Network itself, which we expect to become the de facto DeFi parachain and stablecoin of the Polkadot ecosystem. Polkadot provides the underlying trust primitives to our parachain, upon which we’ve built our suite of financial primitives including; Multi-collateralized Stablecoin; Trustless Staking Derivatives, and Unified Decentralized Exchange. These primitives will be used by us and other teams to power open DeFi innovations, and burn away all need for the parasitic intermediaries that inhabit almost every conventional trust-based financial system.
We have secured our support from eminent backers like Polychain, Coinbase Venture, Pantera and many more. We’re still preparing Acala’s parachain launch, so there’s no better time to join our mission and be a part of the future that we’re building. Because whoever you are, we’re building it for you 🚀
About the role
As a Product Manager your role will focus on feature development for the Acala & Karura DeFi primitives. These are; A trustless staking derivative (liquid DOT); A multi-collateralized stablecoin backed by cross-chain assets (aUSD); And an AMM DEX – all with micro gas fees that can be paid in any token.
You’ll be working closely with our Auckland-based founders on our Product Roadmap, and even closer with our decentralized Engineering Team of 10+. You'll need to balance data-driven roadmap decisions with the technical demands of an Engineering liaison, all while keeping an eye on the user's needs. Your objective will be to make this DeFi suite the most reliable and easiest way for individuals to access decentralized financial services, and for developers to build DeFi applications for the Polkadot blockchain ecosystem.
Our ideal candidate will be a DeFi SuperUser and an experienced web-based Product Manager who has already spent some time working on Ethereum-based blockchain applications, whether commercially successful or not. But at minimum as an Engineering-centric startup we need a code-fluent Product Owner or Manager with a mature interest in decentralized applications and the general concept behind Ethereum and smart contracts. If you're willing to attempt a short evaluation exercise for us, geared toward Blockchain Product Management, then we want to hear from you.
Competitive Salary | Full Time | Contract | Remote New Zealand
Our Team
Working across New Zealand, the USA & China, our team has emerged from our shared desire for a fairer and more inclusive financial system - in direct contrast to the clear shortcomings of the current institutions that run the world. We’re just people like you, but we’re some of the leading blockchain innovators, Substrate and Rust developers, full-stack dApp developers and economists.

- Inclusion, Care, Trust, and Respect

We’re building Acala based on a core set of values we believe are in line with the tenets of web3:

- Accountability
- Empowering individuals with more autonomy
What We Have Achieved
Acala was founded in 2019 as an early Web3 Foundation grant recipient, and is an ecosystem and education partner of W3F and Polkadot. We have delivered 3 successful live testnet candidates acquiring 14,000 new accounts and 140,000 transactions within the first 3 weeks. And we expect to be among the first to launch on both Kusama and Polkadot in 2021. Stay tuned!
