Shape the future of crypto tax with a product people actually need.

Koinly helps people do their crypto taxes without losing their minds. The bar is simple to describe and hard to deliver: a user should be able to do their taxes in under 20 minutes.

That only works if the product is correct. Not “mostly correct.” Correct in the messy corners: LPs, bridges, aggregators, weird fees, rounding, missing legs and duplicates.

We’re hiring a Product Lead who is excited by that kind of complexity and can ship. This is ideal for someone who’s strategic, technical, and passionate about crypto.

We’re a fully remote-first, async-first startup with product-market fit in a niche (and booming) domain: crypto taxes. If you value autonomy, technical excellence, and clear communication over meetings and process complexity, Koinly is the place for you.

🚀 Work within one of the most rapidly growing industries in the world

What you’ll own

You’ll own product execution and delivery end-to-end: how features are defined, built, and shipped, working closely with our engineering teams (Core + Imports) and Design, and our CEO/founder.

In practice, that means you’ll:

• Own the end-to-end flow.

• Own Kanban flow: prioritise the board, keep work unblocked, and drive day-to-day delivery with engineering.

• Turn messy user problems and edge cases into clear requirements, UX flows, and acceptance criteria.

• Keep a high bar for quality, accuracy, and long-term maintainability.

• Reduce data discrepancies (the “$1 mismatch” kind of work) by partnering with engineering on root-cause fixes.

• Have an eye for UX more than UI: simplify flows and resolve pain points using simple wireframes.

• Participate in on-call / incident involvement when needed (because tax accuracy has real-world consequences).

What success looks like (early)

Within 30-90 days you should:

• Understand the product deeply enough to map the “tax in <20 minutes” journey and identify the top friction + discrepancy blockers.

• Clear understanding of how the team currently works (and where execution gets stuck).

• CEO can hand over meaningful responsibility (product execution + delivery decisions) with confidence

This role is a fit if…

You have:

• Strong crypto trading + DeFi experience

  • If Jupiter, Meteora, Uniswap, LPs, bridges, and on-chain swaps aren’t familiar, this won’t be a fit.

• Strong financial data analysis instincts

  • If hunting down a $1 discrepancy across thousands of transactions sounds unpleasant, this won’t be a fit.

• A technical product mindset: you can reason about APIs, data flows, ingestion/transformation, and failure modes.

• High attention to detail and a bias toward correctness.

• Experience shipping products 0→1.

• Experience running execution with dev teams.

• Comfort translating pain points into simple wireframes and practical UX improvements (not UI polish)

• 5+ years as a Product Lead, Engineering Lead, or SaaS Founder (we care more about evidence than titles).

Nice-to-haves

• Comfortable with SQL / data investigation (self-serve debugging is a superpower here).

• Experience with data-heavy ingestion pipelines or reconciliation systems.

✔️ Don’t ‘tick all of the boxes? Neither do we 🤷

We are driven by hiring not only by experience and relevance for the role but also by ambition. We celebrate anything ‘outside of the box’, so if you don’t meet all of the listed tickbox criteria, please do still apply as we’d love to hear from you.

That said, there are two hard gates for this role:

• Hands-on DeFi/trading experience. If on-chain swaps, LPs, bridges (and protocols like Jupiter/Meteora/Uniswap) aren’t familiar, this role won’t be a fit.

• A reconciliation mindset. If hunting down a $1 discrepancy across thousands of transactions sounds unpleasant, this role won’t be a fit.
