About Reserve:

We believe access to stable money is a human right. Almost two billion people around the world don't have a safe place to store their money or are excluded from financial services such as payments and credit. Struggles with inflationary currencies prevent families and communities from building basic economic security. To help solve this, we created the Reserve Protocol, a free, permissionless platform on the Ethereum mainnet and Base L2 to build, deploy and govern asset-backed currencies referred to as “RTokens.” RTokens are always 1:1 asset-backed, allowing for permissionless minting and redeeming on-chain by users without the need for any middlemen. RTokens are over-collateralized and by default governed independently by RSR stakers in a fully decentralized manner.

We are actively expanding to new verticals and regions, and would love to explore if you could be a fit for our team! More information on our mission and the people behind it can be found here.

Role Summary:

You will be working with our dApp, protocol engineering, and growth teams (roughly 7 people including engineers and a designer) to build a roadmap for Defi Experiences that help users discover, understand, and use Asset Backed Currencies built on the Reserve Protocol. Your goal will be to increase TVL. Features and products might include new standalone dApps, components for other dApps to integrate with, improvements to Register.app, dashboards for internal and external users, bridge integrations, V2 of our protocol, and whatever else you, the team, and the community come up with that can get us there. You and the CEO will agree on goals, and then you will be responsible for the roadmap and prioritization. The engineers you will work with are very senior and very capable. You will need to consider community feedback, game theory, protocol economics, on-chain technical feasibility, and a host of other variables as you and the team work through products & features - it is very hard but insanely gratifying.

Requirements:

  • Senior-level experience as a product manager. You can do everything from the customer research, to forming hypotheses on how to solve customer problems, to designing experiences with design and engineering.
  • A deep understanding of technical systems and how they interact with each other.
  • Deep immersion as a defi user. You deeply understand the tradeoffs of things like Wallet Connect vs Metamask on user experience.
  • A data-focused mindset - you are used to making your own dashboards to track your success. We use Dune + Mixpanel + GA.
  • A schedule that can accommodate being online for most of a typical US workday. Preference for Bay Area and spending time with CEO+designer in our Jackson Square office space - we are flexible on location though!

Nice to haves:

  • Spanish fluency (a large part of our team is based in South America)
  • Location: San Francisco for in-person collaboration with the team

Benefits:

  • Do something meaningful; Be a part of the future of stable money, helping people around the world access a safe and transparent financial system.
  • Fast moving, challenging and unique business problems
  • Compensation: Competitive salary + token grant.
  • Stability: We have significant funding and a long financial runway.
  • Purpose: Reserve helps people beat hyperinflation, and aims to eradicate it entirely.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Impact on User Experience: For end-users, Layer 2 solutions can greatly improve the experience by reducing transaction fees and increasing transaction speeds.
  9. 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.
