OP Labs is hiring a

Web3 Staff Product Manager, Protocol

We are hiring a Staff Product Manager to drive key protocol initiatives for Optimism, including the OP Stack and the Superchain. In this role, you will work alongside the OP Labs engineering team to build and decentralize the Optimism protocol — with the goal of making Optimism the best ecosystem in crypto to build on.

What are the role responsibilities?

• Own the product plan and customer impact for our protocol projects. Core areas include:
  • Key decentralization initiatives, such as Fault Proofs
  • Cost and performance improvements, such as Span Batches
  • EVM Equivalence (e.g., support for EIP-4844)

• Become the voice for our customers by conducting user interviews and collecting feedback from our BD team on key needs
• Bring clarity to the engineering team on what matters most, based on customer feedback, to streamline execution and focus
• Mentor other PMs at OP Labs
  • This is not a people management role, but you should be an excellent role model and mentor for the whole product management function
• Develop deep understanding of rapidly evolving competitive landscape to position Optimism for success

What skills do you bring?

• At least 5 years of professional experience in product management
• A strong track record of delivering technical products with large customer impact — including user research, product prioritization, and product ownership
• A passion for delivering for our customers while remaining scrappy—you have the ability to cut scope to get to a true MVP
• Excellent communication skills and cross-functional stakeholder management—you will be the glue between engineering and GTM teams such as marketing and business development
• Familiarity with crypto protocols — ideally you have a baseline familiarity with the nuts and bolts of a blockchain and/or strong experience with other technical products and/or protocols (such as distributed databases or internet protocols)
