About The Position

Digital Asset builds the technologies that are reshaping the foundations of financial markets. Our mission is to create the world’s most trusted, privacy-enabled, and interoperable digital infrastructure for global finance. At 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. Founded 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. If 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. Canton Network is delivering what others promised but couldn’t: a blockchain for finance that actually works. As the only open layer 1 blockchain network with configurable privacy and controls sufficient for regulatory compliance, it is the venue where DeFi and TradFi are converging. As this convergence accelerates, we are looking for a product manager who has been in the trenches, working on tokenization tooling for TradFi institutions, but can also cater to the emerging DeFi ecosystem in Canton. In this role, you will co-own the end-to-end lifecycle of the DA Registry, an exponentially growing tokenization engine on the Canton Network. You will move beyond feature delivery to define business models, commercial strategies and operational excellence. You will engage directly with major financial institutions and ecosystem partners to uncover their deepest pain points, translating them into scalable solutions that drive network volume. You will be the pivot point between our product development teams and our commercial success, ensuring that DA Registry will generate sustainable value for our clients and the network.
