Requirements
  • Experience: 3-5 years in a PM role or a closely related technical capacity.
  • Educational Background: A degree in Computer Science or an Engineering field. Alternatively, hands-on experience in building software products, be it through personal projects or professional ventures.
  • Industry Experience: A history of shipping production-grade software, especially targeted at a developer audience. Familiarity with software development processes is crucial. Prior experience at a fast-growing tech company or a software startup is a big plus.
  • Working at a protocol team in the blockchain industry is a plus.
  • Working on distributed systems as a technical contributor is a plus.
Responsibilities
  • Build out and deliver against a governance-focused roadmap — improving the flexibility and security of the standard on-chain & off-chain mechanisms that Arbitrum chains can utilize, and advocating for structural changes across the ecosystem.
  • Develop and manage a modular governance system that Arbitrum chains can adopt generally, ensuring that all chains can efficiently upgrade/change their protocol, across a variety of ownership structures.
  • Drive improvements to user-facing products like the Arbitrum Bridge and Portal, increasing the value they provide to users and projects across the Ethereum ecosystem.
  • Proactively identify requirements at a technical and non-technical level to ensure product success — from docs, to ecosystem infrastructure, to granular front-end details.
  • Work closely with our engineering teams, helping to synthesize feedback from projects and users, overall changes in the market landscape, and underlying technical considerations to prioritize development work.
  • Work with our marketing and partnerships teams to build and deliver successful narratives and messaging for new product launches and protocol changes.
  • Integrate across the company, ensuring that our engineering, design, marketing, partnerships, and other teams are tightly aligned.

Offchain Labs develops scaling solutions for the Ethereum blockchain, with its main product being Arbitrum. Arbitrum enhances Ethereum's performance by making transactions faster and cheaper, which is important during times of high network activity. The technology uses rollup technology to combine multiple transactions before sending them to the Ethereum blockchain, reducing congestion and costs. Offchain Labs serves a variety of clients, including developers and businesses in the blockchain and cryptocurrency sectors, and generates revenue through transaction fees and premium services. The company's goal is to improve the accessibility and efficiency of Ethereum for all users.
