Are you an obsessively user-focused product manager or startup founder who loves working with deeply technical products in a high stakes and highly dynamic environment? 

PMs  are responsible for the key products which make up the platform, its supporting tooling and the broader ecosystem. The details of this tooling will certainly change over time but there are several main categories:

1. DevX: Developer Experience
2. FinTech: Wallets, payment products and financial on- and off-ramps
3. Ecosystem: Partner engineering, infrastructure and internal apps

**Ecosystem:** Our ecosystem will include a wide range of different applications, some of which will be produced by us, some by partners we work with directly and others by developers taking advantage of permissionless innovation.  To build a robust ecosystem and an effective technology, we need to make sure all these products, which can range from infrastructure tools to consumer-facing apps, are built to the highest standard and brought to market effectively.  

To be successful with Ecosystem products, the PM: Ecosystem needs to combine stellar entrepreneurial vision with highly adaptive execution and great communication with both internal and external parties.  If you like juggling many different products at once, this is the right spot. It will sometimes feel like product advisory, sometimes like being in a product studio and sometimes like running a startup.

As a member of our product team, you have to be completely on your A-game as a PM.  You will need to combine a high level of versatility in a fast-changing environment with the focus necessary to ship real products to market on aggressive timelines.  This isn’t a role for people who are used to having everything laid out clearly for them, it’s one for entrepreneurs with an ownership mentality who can independently identify opportunities and then have the initiative to sell them to the team and ultimately seize them.  We are far more interested in rock star generalists than big company drones who push metrics 10% a year.

While we absolutely value slope over y-intercept, this is a position for well experienced PMs and founders operating at the top of their potential and not a training program.

## Requirements:

1. 5+ years as a PM or founder who has shipped highly technical products and owned strategic roadmaps in startup environments.
2. Absolutely world class vision and execution across all areas of product strategy, design, development, marketing and management.
3. B.S. from a top university, advanced degrees preferred, with engineering and economics/finance coursework.

## Get to know us

We are building the infrastructure of the decentralized web, including the smart contract platform and a variety of supporting tools.  We are a scalable blockchain designed to provide the performance and user experience necessary to bridge the gap to mainstream adoption of decentralized applications.  Unlike other next-generation blockchains, this network has been built from the ground up to be the easiest in the world for both developers and their end-users while still providing the scalability necessary to serve those users.

## Working with us

You have the chance to become an early member of a world-class team with significant upside. The opportunity we are tackling will completely reshape the landscape of the web for decades to come and potentially affect billions of people.  We are funded by the top names in the industry and have attracted the best technical minds in the world to create a technology that will directly change the lives of billions of people.

This is a performance culture where you’ll be working alongside -- and learning from -- other top quality teammates executing at their best.  We value boldness, ownership, transparency, curiosity and experimentation. We pay competitively plus we offer all employees full health benefits, daily lunch and a fully stocked office within walking distance of BART in SOMA.

If you’re excited by the challenge of winning in the fastest moving ecosystem as a member of its best team, this might be a good fit.

3. Ecosystem: Partner engineering, infrastructure and internal apps

**DevX:** Developer Experience includes everything required to build, test, deploy and maintain an application on the platform. There are web-based tools like our IDE and docs and CLI-based tools like our core libraries and shell clients.

To own the product suite here, the PM:DevX will need significant experience working with and managing developer tools. You will need to marry a strong engineering background with an obsessive focus on user experience.

If you’re excited by the challenge of winning in the fastest moving ecosystem as a member of its best team, this might be a good fit.

We’re building the baseline infrastructure of the new web but to be successful we need to cultivate an ecosystem of great applications. This means actively supporting the early developers and entrepreneurs who want to build on the protocol. And, of course, building new example applications, tooling and infrastructure they need to get started and grow.

You’ll be a good fit for this role if you have a wide-ranging full-stack skillset and a love of working with other developers.  Some days will require problem solving and helping these developers build great apps while other days will involve creating new applications and tooling from scratch internally.

To be successful, you will need to be comfortable working quickly at the web/mobile application layer down to the blockchain layer to help troubleshoot and smooth out the developer experience for our partner developers.  This requires interacting with the scripting and markup that defines the apps, the TypeScript/AssemblyScript and Rust APIs for creating smart contracts and a bit of Rust to understand what’s going on at the blockchain layer.  Perhaps most importantly, you’ll need to be comfortable communicating frequently with both our internal teams and external developers.

You’ll work closely with multiple different teams within the team -- Engineering, Developer Relations, Biz Dev and Community.  Because you see so much of the ecosystem in this role, it’s a great launching pad for going deeper in many possible directions, whether that means building your own applications, hacking on the core protocol or even joining one of the other teams who are building on top of the Platform.

While energy and enthusiasm are key, this is a position for **well-experienced developers only**.  We don’t care what certifications you have or even if you went to school… but you absolutely need to be able to ship great code.

## Requirements:

1. 5+ years building production-level applications and experiences in rapid iteration, high-quality environments like top tier startups and consultancies.
2. Comfort operating across the full stack including front end web, mobile, back end, smart contracts and dev ops.
