Join Babylon Labs
DeFi Product Lead
About Us
Babylon is building native use cases for Bitcoin. Â
Bitcoin is an incredible store of value, but it’s historically been difficult to unlock its broader economic productivity. Our products address this - our flagship protocol, trustless Bitcoin staking, has attracted more than $6B native BTC TVL, and our new invention trustless Bitcoin vault allows native BTC to participate in DeFi protocols on any chain without bridging.
We're a fast-growing team of world-class researchers, engineers, and GTM operators. Â Our culture is open, collaborative, and fast-moving, and we're serious about empowering individuals to shape the future of the project and the broader ecosystem.
About the Job
The trustless Bitcoin vault invention opens a vast range of DeFi opportunities for native Bitcoin: lending, stablecoin issuance, and derivative-based DEXes. We’re looking for an experienced DeFi guru to lead product design and execution to grow this technology across crypto.
This is a highly cross-functional role that will work closely with Babylon’s engineering, research, business development, and community teams as well as our external ecosystem partners.

About You
- Deep knowledge of DeFi products
- Strategic thinker with deep empathy for  users and a bias toward execution
- Equally comfortable thinking big and zooming into the  technical weeds.
