Conduit – The Onchain Compute Company

At Conduit, we’re building the rollup-native cloud platform that will scale Ethereum.

Crypto builders have been held back by a lack of onchain compute — without the ability to process a high volume of transactions quickly and cheaply, onchain apps and ecosystems can’t build high quality user experiences.

Rollups have emerged as the answer to this problem. Just as servers work together to scale compute in web2, so too can rollups scale onchain compute in web3. But building and operating your own rollup is difficult and time-consuming. That’s where Conduit comes in.

As the rollup-native cloud platform, Conduit combines web2 engineering best-practices with web3 rollup technology to make it easy for anyone to launch and maintain their own chain. By making infrastructure simple and onchain compute abundant, similar to how AWS and GCP did for web2, we can unlock the next wave of innovation in the crypto ecosystem.

The Conduit platform has seen massive growth since going live in 2023. We run the largest chains in production, including Proof of Play, Zora, Aevo, and more. This translates to 200+ chains across mainnet and testnet and over $1B in total-value-locked (TVL). We’re operating on the bleeding edge of crypto, co-evolving with our customers and integration partners, and pushing the limits of blockchain scalability and modularity.

This success has been recognized and accelerated through a $37M Series A, co-led by Paradigm and Haun Ventures — two of the best investors in the industry.

We’re an elite team that’s previously worked at Meta, Brex, Wish, Compound, Chainalysis, Immunefi, Amazon, Avara/Aave, Paradigm, and more. We’re headquartered in San Francisco, with team members all over the world.

We’re looking for ambitious, talented builders that want to help scale Ethereum and bring crypto compute to the masses. Join us!

About the Role:

As our internal roadmap gets more complex, we’re looking to bring on a Technical Product Manager that will work closely with engineers across the team to align on internal goals, timelines, and priorities. You’ll be responsible for the success of the product — from architecture and design to implementation and iteration — and understand every nook and cranny of the infrastructure. You would partner with Andrew (CEO), Thomas (Head of Engineer), Emiliano (Rollup Lead), and others across the company to ensure we are delivering on our key product areas and serving customers better every day.

Responsibilities:

• Deliver Consistently and Efficiently: Keep us on course with our ambitious roadmap. Our engineers excel at rapidly developing complex systems; you’ll be the co-pilot, setting direction, ensuring everything stays aligned, removing obstacles, and making critical architectural and implementation decisions. You’ll design and spec out new features while ensuring we meet our targets consistently and on schedule.

• Go Deep on the Tech: You’ll develop deep expertise across our entire platform and gain a thorough understanding of the competitive landscape. Your technical knowledge will enable you to guide customers through their journey, helping them identify pain points, explore options, weigh trade-offs, and determine whether Conduit is the right fit for their needs.

• Work Across Conduit: We’re a small team and rely on each other to be successful. You’ll work closely with engineering, technical support, sales, marketing, and others to ensure Conduit’s success.

• Be a Communication Node: You’ll provide regular updates on the status of projects, features, and products. You’ll also ensure effective communication throughout Conduit, keeping everyone aligned and focused on shipping better products.

Qualifications:

• You have a proven track record of collaborating with technical engineering teams to deliver complex products like databases, software infrastructure, developer tools, SDKs, protocols, or other foundational systems.

• You have shipped products and features from 0 to 1, and then iteratively grown them to massive scale. You have experience setting up experimentation frameworks, using metrics and data to inform the right bets to prioritize, and then adjusting course as that data informs the next phase of growth.

• You’re highly organized, detail-oriented, and adept at managing multiple projects at once, all while keeping stakeholders informed through clear communication.

• You’re excited to be part of a high-growth, fast-paced startup where you’ll face diverse challenges and have the opportunity to have an outsized impact

• You enjoy building lasting relationships with both teammates and customers.

Bonus points for:

• You’ve worked with highly technical products and customers.

• You’re previously a software engineer and can speak fluently about technical trade-offs with other engineers.

• You understand blockchain rollup architecture and the trade-offs between various designs and implementations at a deeply technical level.

• You’re crypto native, familiar with the broader ecosystem, and understand why Conduit will unlock new experiences and applications in web3. You understand the L1 and L2 ecosystem at a strategic level.
