Product Owner

Blockstream was founded in 2014 by Dr. Adam Back and a group of fellow cryptographers and engineers passionate about Bitcoin and its potential to change the future of finance. We have become a market leader in Bitcoin security and Layer-2 technologies. Our products are designed to make financial systems more efficient, secure, and robust.

We are seeking a Product Owner, a hands-on technical role responsible for building, integrating, and deploying blockchain and digital asset solutions for enterprise and institutional clients.

Operating within the Service & Enterprise Solutions organization, the Product Owner works closely with Solution Architects, Delivery, Engineering, and Client teams to turn defined solution architectures into working, production-ready client platforms. This role focuses on execution and implementation, ensuring solutions are correctly built, integrated, tested, and deployed in line with architectural standards and delivery plans.
