Company mission
To encrypt the web; the goal is zero data breaches, and the end-state is everything encrypted everywhere.
Role
Who you are
- Obsessively customer-centric. You build conviction from the field, not from a desk. You talk to customers constantly - not because it's in your job description, but because you can't imagine doing product work any other way. You have a nose for commercial opportunity and you know how to turn customer insight into product strategy
- Technically excellent. You have an engineering background or equivalent technical depth. You can read code, reason about system architecture, and have an informed opinion on API design. You build credibility with engineers because you understand their world - not because you can draw a flowchart
- A fast learner. Payments infrastructure is complex. Card networks, scheme rules, PCI compliance, multi-PSP orchestration - there's a lot to absorb. Domain experience is a significant advantage, but we care just as much about your rate of learning. You pick things up quickly, ask sharp questions, and build expertise fast
- Independent and high-agency. You don't wait to be told what to do. You identify the highest-leverage problem, form a view, and move. You're comfortable operating with ambiguity and making decisions with imperfect information. You've done this before in environments where there wasn't a playbook
- Commercially minded. You think about product through the lens of the business. Pricing, packaging, competitive positioning, sales enablement - these aren't someone else's problem. You understand that great product work creates commercial outcomes
- An excellent communicator. Clear writing. Sharp thinking. You can present to a customer, write a product brief, and explain a complex trade-off to the board - all in the same week. You tailor your communication to your audience without losing substance
- A product athlete. You're versatile. Strategy one day, customer call the next, writing a spec the day after. You don't have a narrow definition of your role. You do whatever the product needs - and you do it well
- A good human. Kind, generous, low ego. You thrive in a collaborative environment with people from different backgrounds. The kind of person who makes a team better just by being in the room
What the job involves
- You'll be the first product hire at Evervault. Reporting directly to the VP of Engineering & Product, working alongside the CEO and a team of exceptional engineers
- This is not a project management role with a product title. You'll be in the field - talking to customers, understanding their payment stacks, identifying where we can create the most value, and shaping what Evervault builds next
- You'll own product strategy and execution for your area. That means deep customer discovery, commercial thinking, and the ability to translate what you learn into products that developers love and businesses pay for
- We're building payments infrastructure - tokenization, card network integrations, account updater, 3D Secure, dispute management, and more. The domain is complex, regulated, and high-stakes. You don't need to know it all on day one - but you need to learn it fast
- Find the next opportunities. Spend the majority of your time with customers and prospects. Understand their problems deeply - not just what they're asking for, but what they actually need
- Own product strategy. Define what we build, why, and in what order. Make hard prioritisation calls with incomplete information
- Drive commercial outcomes. You think in terms of revenue, retention, and expansion - not just features. You understand how product decisions create (or destroy) business value
- Shape the developer experience. Evervault's customers are engineers. You'll need to think about API design, documentation, SDKs, and developer workflows with real technical empathy
- Work end-to-end. From discovery through to launch, adoption, and iteration. You write specs, you ship, you measure, you learn
- Partner with engineering. You won't throw requirements over a wall. You'll be embedded with the team - making trade-off decisions together, unblocking work, and maintaining momentum
- Build the product function. As the first product hire, you'll shape how product management works at Evervault. The processes, the rituals, the standards - you'll help set the bar
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Data privacy can be complicated for those who don’t want to read thousands of pages of regulations. Evervault is focused on building a unique data-privacy interface that developers can use when creating software, providing simple developer tools to deploy applications in hardware-hardened containers, enabling clients to focus on building products rather than security.
Evervault plans to offer its service as an API to allow developers to seamlessly build it into the software stack of whatever they are creating. Around 3,000 developers are on the company's waitlist for its encryption engine, such as drone delivery firm Manna, fintech startup Okra and health tech company Vital.
The company is using funds to continue developing its main encryption product and to hire new talent. It also plans to provide further functionalities in the future such as encrypted data tagging, programmatic role-based access, and programmatic compliance.
