Apply for this job
Before you read the details of this role, there’s something you should know. At Matter Labs, we don’t see ourselves as a company, but as a highly aligned global team on a single mission: to accelerate the mass adoption of crypto for personal sovereignty.
Our core technology – zkSync Era – is a layer 2 rollup that uses advanced cryptography called zero-knowledge proofs to scale Ethereum without compromising on security or decentralization. zkSync Era is EVM compatible, which means projects on Ethereum and other EVM-based blockchains can easily deploy on zkSync Era to take advantage of low gas fees and high transaction speeds.
With a total of $458 million in mission-driven funding, zkSync Era is the first EVM-compatible ZK Rollup to go live on testnet (February 2022) and be deployed on mainnet (October 2022). As we enter the endgame for Ethereum scaling, we are committed to full open source and building in public toward our stated mission [so that even if we fail, the community and the ecosystem will benefit from our contribution].
Read more about working at Matter Labs here.
We are looking for a Principal Product Manager to lead our Developer Experience squad. This role is extremely relevant to our project and will have a major influence in shaping the strategy to elevate zkSync Era as the best option for developers in the Ethereum scaling ecosystem.
You will interface with the core teams working on the platform/infrastructure to ensure protocol design decisions are highly aligned with what our developer ecosystem wants, and will drive all initiatives to ensure developers have a state-of-the-art experience when building with zkSync Era.
From the first interaction of a newbie developer reading the documentation, or regular developers needing more tooling, up to providing debugging capabilities to senior crypto developers, this squad represents the developer voice of zkSync Era. This is a key role with a high probability to increase in scope and responsibility as the company scales and the protocol gains more adoption.
What You'll Be Doing
- Setting the vision and strategy to provide the best developer experience in the layer 2 space
- Define the team's needs and structure to grow into specialized squads to tackle specific challenges
- Taking care of developer tools, documentation, and SDKs
- Aligning and influencing the roadmap of core protocol teams
- Creating and prioritizing initiatives and setting up a clear roadmap with the outcomes the team wants to achieve
- Lead the organization in developing a high understanding of developer needs and pains
- Working in an agile environment with your development team, outsourced squads that takes care of specific products
- Fostering a data-driven culture, working closely with community and developer relations to identify gaps in the developer experience
- Inspiring your team and stakeholders
What We Look For in You
- You have a deep understanding of software development and architecture, APIs, SDKs, IDEs, etc
- 8+ years working in product management as well as multiple years of software engineering experience
- You possess a thorough understanding of the EVM and have at least basic working knowledge of the L2 landscape
- Previous experience in web3 or blockchain companies/projects
- You have experience managing agile teams and product development processes
- You’re an excellent communicator, in writing and speaking, whether you’re talking to a founder, a community member, or an executive
- You have a proven track record of focusing on outcomes and bringing value to businesses
- An eye for detail, yet focused on getting things done
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
- Creativity and out-of-the-box mindset to brainstorm solutions for difficult problems
- Challenging personality. Just because something is the way it is, or the company says “this is how we do it”, doesn't mean it is right
- Experience in leading with influence, inspiring others to follow best practices, and deliver real value to customers
- You're hands on. You only ship features after you’ve tested them and made edits to the documentation
Nice to Have
- Some experience developing smart contracts for EVM-compatible blockchains
Working at Matter Labs
At Matter Labs, you have the freedom to work how you want, when you want, and from where you want. We operate in small, focused teams, with no time tracking and minimum bureaucracy. Only results matter. We will provide you with anything you need to learn, grow, and be productive.
Our results-only environment means anyone who believes in our mission can join us, regardless of background, sexual orientation, race, gender, and age. Both our team and community are made up of people from different countries, cultures, ethnical and religious backgrounds. That's why, out of politeness and respect, we refrain from opinions on politics, religion, or sex at the workplace.
We designed our culture of freedom and ownership to persist as we scale and to establish the base for a positive-sum community as we move toward full decentralization.
Apply now if this role sounds of interest and we aim to get back to you as soon as possible.

What is the meaning of Layer 2?
Layer 2 in the context of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology refers to a secondary framework or protocol that is built on top of an existing blockchain system (the main chain or Layer 1)
The primary purpose of Layer 2 solutions is to solve the scalability and speed issues that many blockchains face, especially those that have become popular and heavily used, like Ethereum
Here are the key aspects of Layer 2 solutions:
- Scalability Enhancement: They help in scaling the main blockchain by handling transactions off the main chain. This reduces the burden on the main chain, allowing for faster and cheaper transactions.
- Types of Layer 2 Solutions: There are various forms of Layer 2 solutions, including state channels, sidechains, plasma chains, and rollups. Each has its own mechanism for interacting with the main chain and handling transactions.
- State Channels: These involve two parties engaging in numerous transactions outside of the main chain, which are then consolidated into a single transaction. This is especially useful for situations where multiple transactions occur between the same parties.
- Sidechains: These are separate blockchains that are connected to the main chain via a two-way peg. They operate independently and can have their own consensus mechanisms but are secured by the main chain.
- Plasma Chains: Plasma chains are similar to sidechains but with a more hierarchical structure. They report back to the main chain regularly and are optimized for mass transaction handling.
- Rollups: Rollups process and store transaction data on a sidechain but post transaction data to the main chain. They come in two varieties: optimistic rollups and zk-rollups, each with its own method of transaction verification.
- Security Considerations: While Layer 2 solutions are generally secure, they can have different security models compared to the main chain. This is an important consideration for users and developers.
- Impact on User Experience: For end-users, Layer 2 solutions can greatly improve the experience by reducing transaction fees and increasing transaction speeds.
- Adoption and Development: Many blockchain projects are actively developing Layer 2 solutions to enhance their networks. This is an ongoing area of innovation in the blockchain space.
