Product Manager, Ecosystem
About Symbiotic Symbiotic is the infrastructure beneath collateral markets, where capital can secure financial obligations, remain productive, and be enforced by code. By changing the economics of onchain collateral, Symbiotic enables new categories of neofinance applications that were previously impossible to build - including credit, insurance, RWA liquidity, and more. As institutional capital increasingly moves onchain, Symbiotic is positioned to become the coordination layer connecting capital and risk across the onchain economy. Backed by Paradigm, Pantera, Cyber.fund, and Coinbase Ventures, we power 80+ vaults, 74,000+ active stakers, and 111 operators - with Chainlink, Nexus Mutual, and Cap Labs among the teams live in production.

Work with our partners on distribution: identify how their strategies, networks, and credibility can help attract liquidity and usage into Symbiotic-powered products. Maintain a strong view of the ecosystem pipeline, partner needs, and next steps, and push opportunities forward with minimal oversight. Identify new potential products and collaboration opportunities with protocols, vault curators, yield funds and other ecosystem participants relevant to Symbiotic’s strategy.
