Venture Lead - Payments

Remote
Join Talent Pool
About this role

Join Rootstocklabs as a Venture Lead for Payments, shaping innovative payment products on Bitcoin's EVM-compatible sidechain. Lead a dedicated squad and drive commercial traction in a remote role.

Description

RootstockLabs builds Bitcoin-secured DeFi infrastructure that enables companies and financial institutions to offer borrowing, lending, investment, and payment solutions at global scale.

  • Market: Companies, financial institutions, and their customers

  • Product: Bitcoin-secured DeFi financial products

  • Distribution: B2B2C through regulated financial institutions


We operate at the intersection of crypto infrastructure and institutional finance, enabling compliant, scalable access to decentralized financial services powered by Bitcoin.

Responsibilities

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Define and execute the product portfolio roadmap across multiple payment verticals
  • Validate product-market fit through customer discovery, pilots, and design partnerships
  • Build, structure, and lead a dedicated product-engineering squad
  • Represent the venture externally - conferences, partner meetings, ecosystem conversations
  • Align with R&D on underlying protocol capabilities and upcoming rollouts
  • Deliver several foundational platform launches within 6–18 months
  • Drive commercial traction — early partners, distribution channels, revenue paths
Requirements

WHAT YOU BRING

  • 3–7 years in payments/remittances/fintech; crypto experience is a must, traditional rails a plus
  • Hands-on experience building crypto payment products — you have been in the room, not watching from the side
  • Strong understanding of Bitcoin/EVM ecosystems
  • Fluent across product strategy, customer discovery, and partnerships
  • Familiarity with agentic/AI-driven payment flows or programmable money
  • Experience in incubating and scaling a product
  • Startup speed — ships fast, prioritizes ruthlessly, comfortable with ambiguity
  • Eager to step up — this is your chance to own and lead a venture, not just contribute to one
  • Comfortable as the external face — present, visible, and active in the ecosystem
