Mesh is seeking a Head of Product, Fiat to lead the critical bridge between the traditional financial system and the crypto ecosystem.

• →Execute with Rigor: Apply analytical rigor to every decision. You will set ambitious goals, measure success with data, and ensure Mesh's fiat operations scale with financial precision and zero defect tolerance.
• →High Leverage & Efficiency: You ruthlessly optimize and automate your own operational workflows. You treat your time as the company's most valuable resource, utilizing modern tools to scale your output so you can focus on high-impact strategy.

• 8+ years in Product Management with expert-level knowledge of traditional payment rails (ACH, Wires, RTP, Cards) and banking integrations.
• Fiat Fluency: You have deep experience connecting to the banking system. You know how money moves in the real world and how to solve for settlement times and reconciliation.
• Crypto Competency: You must understand the fundamentals of digital assets—wallets, exchanges, and stablecoins—and possess a strong desire to build the future of this technology.
• Technical Rigor: You can lead architecture discussions on API design, reconciliation, and ledger management.
• Strategic Problem Solving: You excel at solving ambiguous problems where legacy infrastructure clashes with new technology (e.g., "How do we offer instant availability on a slow rail?").
• Leadership: Proven experience managing teams and influencing stakeholders across Engineering, Legal, Security and Compliance.

At Mesh, you're not stepping into a typical role—you're joining a rocket ship in mid-liftoff. You'll tackle complex, meaningful problems that actually move an industry forward, working alongside a sharp, motivated team that moves quickly, collaborates deeply, and expects everyone to operate with ownership. This is the kind of place where you'll see your work ship fast, make real impact, and be able to point to something and say, "I built that." You'll grow fast, level up your skills, and get a front-row seat to how a high-growth company scales from the inside, with competitive comp, solid benefits, and room to stretch your craft all coming standard. If you're energized by building, learning, and shaping something big—this is where you'll want to be.
