DeFi Jobs

We are hiring a Technical Product Manager to own the end-to-end experience for developers building on Optimism.

This person will be responsible for our production network, testnets, documentation, dev tooling, services, public endpoints, and infrastructure — all with the goal of making Optimism the best ecosystem in crypto to build on.

This person will also go deep into the crypto dev communities, working with rouge degens, Ethereum’s largest blue-chip projects, and founders hacking across the world in order to build a nuanced knowledge of the joys and pains of building EVM applications.

Part dev, part anthropologist, part executor. Is it you?

You will:

• Define the strategy, roadmap, and prioritization for developer experience on Optimism.
• Work with design and engineering to define, build, and launch compelling features.
• Measure success and communicate progress across the organization and broader community.
• Use data to inform the team’s decisions around what we build and why.
• Build a deep understanding of developers’ needs, behaviors, and motivations
• Work with marketing, community, and business development to define programs that drive product success and adoption.
• Represent the voice of our developers in conversations around growth, strategy, and comms.
• Create or define standards, specifications, and reference implementations of tools for partners to drive adoption and usage.
• Become an expert in the market, trends, and landscape to position Optimism for success.

You may be a fit if:

• You have experience as a product manager shipping features to a technical audience.
• You have experience building crypto applications users love.
• You’re an inspiring communicator, in writing and in person, whether you’re talking to developers, a business partner, or the CEO.
• You’re skilled at translating customer feedback into actionable priorities.
• You’re biased towards action, and you roll up your sleeves to get things done when the situation calls for it.
• You’re comfortable with ambiguity and excel at finding a clear path forward from competing or conflicting inputs.
• You’re curious and like to learn new things, whether they’re nuanced perspectives from our users, new financial primitives, or new skills.
• You’ve worked on or are very well-versed in crypto, web3, and DeFi.
• You have a technical background.
• You can work synchronously in all or most of North American waking hours.

(If you fit some but not all of these criteria, you should apply anyway!)
