About the role

We are seeking a passionate and experienced Technical Product Manager to work on our portfolio of products. The first product this person will work on is the Axelar Interchain Token Service (ITS) https://www.axelar.network/its.

The development of Web3 technology faces a blockchain interoperability challenge. Applications that rely on digital tokens use bridges that strip away fungibility and functionality, or incur the heavy cost of deployment on multiple chains.

• Fungibility: Wrapped versions on connected chains are fungible with one another.
• Custom functionality: Custom tokens keep their features, cross-chain.
• Low overhead: Smart contracts and developer tools automate complex developer tasks.
