About Digital Asset & the Canton Network
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.

Responsibilities

Opportunity

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.

We are looking for a visionary Principal Product Manager to lead our Stablecoins & Onchain Payments product activation program. This is not just a "feature-owner" role, but rather you will be the architect of how stablecoins & payments move across the Canton Network.

As TradFi and DeFi converge, the demand for stable, regulatory-compliant and programmable units of value has never been higher. You will define and own the strategy for Digital Asset stablecoin & payments activation on the network, ensuring that stablecoin implementations and payment rails are not only technically superior but commercially dominant in contrast to other networks.

• Identify and validate sustainable stablecoin and payment use cases on the Canton network, that can be activated together with institutional partners.

• Define and execute the strategy and roadmap for stablecoins (fiat-backed, RWA-backed) and payments activation on the Canton Network, involving a cross-functional team of stakeholders and network participants (e.g. Tier 1 Stablecoin & RWA asset issuers).

• Work with institutional partners to design workflows that connect legacy payment & PoS systems with Canton’s privacy-enabled ledger.

• Partner with Legal and Compliance teams to ensure payment initiatives meet global standards (e.g. MiCA, Basel III) while maintaining the privacy benefits of the Canton Network.

• Ensure that the scaling of stablecoin and payment use cases focuses on high-availability, security and low-latency settlement.

• Define and track Key Value Indicators (KVIs) for the use case activation on the network such as Mint/Burn volumes and Transaction Volume/Numbers.

• Act as the primary product subject matter expert for stablecoins and payments use cases and activation within Digital Asset.

Requirements

• 7+ years of Product Management experience, with at least 3 years focused on stablecoins and payments .

• Proven track record of shipping products related to stablecoins use case intersecting with aspects of treasury management, cross-border payments, PoS provision or automated clearing houses (ACH)

• Deep understanding of the stablecoin and payments stack.

• Understanding of blockchain technology is required and it would be great to have a familiarity with payments focussed layer 1/2 ecosystems

• While not a developer, you can confidently discuss application architecture, smart contract logic, and settlement workflows with engineers.

• Experience building for B2B or B2B2C environments where security, compliance and "five-nines" reliability are non-negotiable.

• You are comfortable discussing business models, pricing strategies and tokenomics.

• BIG BONUS: Direct experience with the Canton Network, Daml, or building institutional-grade Stablecoin payment applications.

• We are a hybrid workplace company, so you need to be willing to work at least 3 days per week from one of our offices (New York, Zürich, London or Budapest).
