About the Role

Splice forms the public operating layer of Canton, including the Canton Coin application, the network’s tokenomics, fees, and incentives, the Canton Name Service (CNS), and network governance mechanisms. These components determine how the network functions economically, how participants are incentivized, and how change is introduced over time. A successful candidate will provide strong evidence of their ability to analyze ambiguous situations, make sound decisions with imperfect information, and hold themselves accountable for making good judgment calls. This role is not primarily focused on execution management or feature delivery, but rather on analysis and decision making. You will be expected to exercise independent judgment on matters that materially affect the network’s technical and economic trajectory, in collaboration with a diverse set of stakeholders including node and infrastructure operators, application providers, and the Canton Foundation. You will work as a close partner to the core engineering team that has built, and operated nodes in, Canton’s public network infrastructure over multiple years.

Responsibilities

Define, defend, and evolve the roadmap for Digital Asset’s contributions to Splice, engaging with and responding to the interests of a wide range of stakeholders.
Make prioritization decisions and ensure the quality of reasoning behind them.
Use structured analysis, modeling, and first-principles reasoning to evaluate protocol changes, incentive mechanisms, and governance proposals.
Articulate why certain paths are chosen and others are not.
Align the interests of the Canton Foundation, application providers, validators, and internal stakeholders into a coherent product direction, even when incentives are misaligned.
Guide development across a distributed open-source contributor base through clarity, technical credibility, and sound judgment.
Produce clear, written artifacts that explain complex technical and economic issues to senior engineers, executives, external partners, and governance bodies.
Work with architects to identify long-horizon risks in distributed systems design and protocol economics, and ensure they are addressed before becoming constraints on network growth.
Regularly adjust and reprioritize work to get the most useful results with minimal engineering effort.
Work with engineers to remove scope and adjust designs to focus on the essence of each problem and avoid unnecessary work.

Requirements

10+ years of product management experience, including ownership of strategy for complex, long-lived platforms.
Demonstrated depth in distributed systems, Web3, or financial infrastructure, including BFT consensus, incentive mechanisms, and transaction lifecycles.
Proven effectiveness in open-source or multi-stakeholder environments where formal authority is limited.
Experience partnering with senior engineers and architects on foundational system design.
