Fueling the Growth of Enterprise Blockchain Products | Paxos
2020 was a year of uncertainty around the world, but Paxos has continued to grow and we have added 63 new team members. James Hartley, Director of Product Operations at Paxos, is one of those new hires. — Why did you join Paxos?. — I’ve always been interested in finance and investing, and more recently I became interested in blockchain. I left a career in tech after feeling burnt out, and spent a few months travelling and thinking about what I wanted next. I was looking for a few things, and Paxos ticked all the boxes:A small, talented team, based in NYA company using interesting, high-potential technologiesA strong culture aligned to my valuesAn inspiring mission and CEOA company that was rapidly shipping exciting productsWhat did you do before Paxos? — Why did you do before Paxos?. — With a computer science background, I started as a software engineer in Sydney building stock market surveillance software. But I wanted more exposure to the business and customers, which led me to technical services roles at Google working on advertiser platforms. I relocated with Google to New York to work alongside the product managers and engineers. Later I joined an 8 person startup in adtech (Arbor), where I did a bit of everything (product, account management, integrations, technical support, solutions consulting, etc). Right before Paxos I spent 3 years at LiveRamp (they acquired Arbor) leading technica...

Changing US Equities Markets with Blockchain Technology | Paxos
After recent market activity led to institutional and retail brokerages restricting trading on highly volatile stocks like GameStop, the systemic risks caused by the legacy system of equities settlement was exposed for all the market to see. That system must be updated to prevent future market failure and we’re building Paxos Settlement Service to solve this problem with blockchain technology. Today, our Managing Director for the securities business, Greg Lee is here to share his story. — What did you do before Paxos?. — For more than 20 years, I’ve worked in electronic trading for financial institutions like UBS, Deutsche Bank and Barclays. I’ve focused on building, selling, and managing electronic trading systems and platforms. I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some amazing people across the globe and have seen what technology can do to dramatically change markets. I was involved in some of the first FX online trading systems, first Equities online trading platforms. I’ve seen the industry evolve into a fully electronic and algorithmically driven marketplace — and I also lived through the dot com era and saw what unchecked technology aspirations can produce when they aren’t grounded in solid business practices. — What made you join Paxos?. — I know the ins and outs of the market and I felt it was time for a change. I was just looking for the right opportunity. I learned abou...

I was immediately impressed by the talent and friendliness of engineers I met at Paxos. — What was your work experience before Paxos?. — I have an untraditional engineering background.

From a Federal Government Agency to Fintech — Practicing Law in the Emerging Blockchain Industry | Paxos In the last Paxos Employee Spotlight, Paxos Compliance Officer shared why he joined Paxos and his responsibilities here. Today, we invite our Deputy General Counsel Emily Meyers to talk about her journey to Paxos. Emily has previously worked at an international law firm, a federal government enforcement agency, and the highly-valued and fast-growing startup WeWork, all after receiving her JD from Columbia University and BA from Brown University. — How did you learn about Paxos?. — When our general counsel reached out to me on LinkedIn, I wasn’t sure if a blockchain technology company was right for me.

Compliance at a Groundbreaking Fintech Firm | Paxos
What is Paxos and what do we do? From the news, you might know we power crypto for PayPal, are facilitating U.S listed equities settlement for Credit Suisse, Instinet and Societe Generale, or that we power USD-backed stablecoins for Binance and Huobi. But Paxos is much more than the headlines we make. We want to give you an inside look on what it’s like to work at a market-leading fintech. Get a better sense of who we are by meeting our people. Here’s a Compliance Officer that is responsible for ensuring our products remain safe and trusted. How did you learn about Paxos? A colleague from a previous firm had joined Paxos in early 2017 and told me about the company mission. I was interested in Paxos’ regulatory status balanced with its dedication to fintech innovation. At the time, I was following the crypto world and I was jealous my colleague was getting hands-on blockchain industry experience while I was relegated to just personal crypto trading and reading online articles. We continued to keep in touch and I later made the jump to join him at Paxos. Why did you join Paxos? There was a significant pull factor — I wanted to join a team that was truly making an impact on the world with real innovations. I was bitten by the blockchain bug in 2015 and thought this was a once-in-a-century inflection point for a major paradigm shift. I sensed the same passion from Paxos employees. What was your past work experienc...

Move Fast and Don’t Break Things: Product Management in the Regulated Financial Services Industry
Paxos occupies a unique position in the financial services industry as a regulated financial institution that is also technology focused. As a regulated Trust company that is tech-native, Paxos can connect the traditional financial services and blockchain technology worlds in ways where most other companies are unauthorized to do so. But with this status come challenges — especially as it relates to product management. A product manager’s job is to set a direction for the business while also connecting customer needs with technology capabilities. However, product management at a regulated company adds a third factor to this calculus — the regulatory status of the product. Here are a few of the tactics I’ve employed to operate in this multi-layered environment that can help PMs facing similar business challenges when working in financial services or other regulated industries. Financial Services is one of the most highly regulated industries globally. Unlike Airbnb and Uber that “ask for forgiveness” after blitz-scaling in lightly-regulated markets, Paxos “asks for permission” before entering new markets and introducing new products. Many of our customers are regulated and we believe we can better serve their needs if we operate within their regulatory frameworks. As a product manager, this approach has implications for designing and developing new products and features. At the outset of design, product ...
