Role Overview

We’re looking for a Web3-native Product Manager to drive the design and execution of a DePIN-based, AI-enabled infrastructure platform. This role focuses on defining system architecture, product mechanics, and execution frameworks for a decentralized, multi-sided network that coordinates real-world services through software.

You will operate close to engineering and architecture, translating protocol-level and system-level constraints into shippable product components.

Core Responsibilities

Product & System Architecture

  • Own the product roadmap with a strong emphasis on technical feasibility and system design.
  • Define boundaries between on-chain, off-chain, and hybrid components.
  • Translate decentralized network concepts into concrete product abstractions and APIs.

DePIN Mechanics

  • Design and iterate on:
    • Provider onboarding and verification flows
    • Reputation, scoring, and trust mechanisms
    • Network topology and corridor-based rollout

  • Specify incentive and coordination mechanisms (tokenized or non-tokenized).
  • Define observability and health metrics for decentralized networks.

MVP Definition & Delivery

  • Define MVP scope at the system and component level.
  • Break down complex workflows into services, pipelines, and interfaces.
  • Own release sequencing and dependency management across teams.

Engineering Collaboration

  • Work daily with backend, AI, and Web3 engineers.
  • Write technical PRDs, schemas, and flow definitions.
  • Participate in architectural reviews and trade-off decisions.
  • Ensure alignment between product intent and technical execution.

Experimentation & Iteration

  • Design experiments around:
    • Centralized vs decentralized execution paths
    • Automation vs human-in-the-loop systems
    • Network reliability and failure handling
  • Use telemetry and system metrics to inform roadmap decisions.

Requirements

Must-have

  • 3+ years as a Product Manager in Web3.
  • Experience shipping technically complex, distributed or network-based products.
  • Strong understanding of:
    • DePIN architectures
    • Web3 primitives (wallets, signatures, identity, smart contracts)
    • Off-chain orchestration and data pipelines
  • Comfortable working with early-stage, evolving architectures.

Nice-to-have

  • Experience with marketplaces, infra products, or protocol-adjacent platforms.
  • Exposure to AI/ML systems, copilots, or automation pipelines.
  • Experience collaborating on tokenomics, governance, or incentive design.

Profile & Mindset

  • Systems-first thinker with strong technical intuition.
  • Comfortable discussing architecture, trade-offs, and failure modes.
  • Pragmatic about decentralization vs. reliability.
  • Bias toward shipping infrastructure that can scale.

What are specific DePIN projects and how the tokenomics work?

Here's a quick breakdown of popular DEPIN sectors and some key projects in each one:

  1. Helium (HNT)
  2. Crowd-sourced wireless network for IoT devices (LoRaWAN) and now 5G. People deploy hotspots and get rewarded for providing network coverage.
  3. Pollen Mobile
  4. Community-built LTE/5G networks. Similar to Helium but focused more on mobile data.
  5. Akash Network (AKT)
  6. Decentralized cloud computing marketplace. Think of it like Airbnb for unused server space.
  7. Render Network (RNDR)
  8. Distributed GPU rendering power for 3D rendering, VFX, and AI workloads.
  9. Filecoin (FIL)
  10. Decentralized storage network where people rent out unused hard drive space.
  11. Arweave (AR)
  12. Permanent data storage on-chain. Great for archiving websites, data, etc.

What is DePIN?

DEPIN stands for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network

It refers to projects or networks that use blockchain or decentralized technologies to coordinate, manage, and incentivize the building and maintenance of physical infrastructure in the real world

Why DEPIN? Traditionally, building physical infrastructure (like telecom towers or power grids) requires massive centralized entities (governments, corporations)

DEPIN flips this model by using crypto incentives to get individuals or small entities to deploy and maintain physical infrastructure

The goal is to create a more distributed, efficient, and permissionless way to build the infrastructure we rely on

Participants can earn tokens or rewards for contributing resources like:

  • Providing internet coverage with hotspots (Helium)
  • Hosting storage devices (Filecoin)
  • Contributing compute power (Akash Network)
  • Running EV chargers or energy systems
