OpenSea is hiring a

Web3 Product Lead, Protocol

When hiring, we look for candidates who can thrive in our culture of trust, feedback, and rapid growth. We believe that diversity and inclusivity are essential to our success, and we provide equal employment opportunities regardless of background or identity. Our opportunities support remote, hybrid, or onsite work at our offices in New York City, San Francisco, or Silicon Valley, and we're dedicated to creating an environment where all employees can do their best work and contribute to the growth of our platform.

As a Product Lead on OpenSea’s Ecosystem team you will own the roadmap for all of the Seaport protocol and developer efforts. You will represent OpenSea in the developer and partner community and be responsible for foundational infrastructure that powers the NFT ecosystem at large. We are looking for someone who has startup experience, is crypto native and technical with experience managing cross functional teams with internal and external stakeholders.

Product Managers at OpenSea work with users, developers, designers, and other stakeholders to identify, prioritize, and solve the most pressing problems for our business. We think of our PMs as “CEOs” for their respective areas — they own success for a group holistically. A great fit for this role will be someone who evaluates problems from a 'first-principles' mindset, is intensely curious, maniacally detail-oriented, and cares deeply about the craftsmanship of a well-designed user experience. Above all, we want the individual in this role to develop a clear understanding of our user so that the product work we take on can be passed through that lens. We would like to hire someone for this role who can create internal momentum around a product roadmap we reach consensus on, but make data-driven and customer-driven suggestions when we need to alter our course. You will function as somewhat of a polyglot, creating dialogue with stakeholders from various departments about new product initiatives.

Responsibilities

• Set the strategy for the team working with partners, creators and developers in the Seaport ecosystem.
• Understand and apply the latest NFT and blockchain innovation to OpenSea and our products.
• Create novel and open standards at the protocol level which push the entire industry forward.
• Lead education and adoption for Seaport and Seaport apps including SIPs.
• Create new use cases and utility for NFTs as a category.
• Author and contribute to EIPs for Ethereum NFT Ecosystem (example 6551)
• Prioritize and launch new chains on OpenSea including interfacing with the protocols directly.
• Own our developer product surfaces from the API to our protocol tools (both internally and externally).
• Drive experiments that leverage protocol innovation but are also built “full stack” in OpenSea for creators, buyers/sellers and developers
  
  

Desired Experience

• 4+ years experience as a Product Manager and/or Startup Founder
• A passion for web3 and the role NFTs play in building a new creator economy
• Startup experience strongly preferred

• Analytical rigor and ability to dig into protocol data
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
