What the job involves
- Circle is looking for a Product Manager to build new API products that make it easy for developers to build Crypto-powered applications
- Our mission is to make it easy for developers to bring the benefits of blockchain powered apps to billions of users
- The Product Manager will be responsible for products built with the infrastructure that powers our core protocols (USDC, CCTP) and includes both permissioned (SaaS offerings) and permissionless products (on-chain protocols)
- Some examples include: Programmable Wallets (our WaaS offering), Smart contract Platform, & Gas Abstraction
- The role is focussed on enabling both web3 native ecosystem developers as well as web2 enterprises to develop with Circle’s infrastructure, and requires developing in-depth knowledge of frontier Web3 technologies (e.g. Account Abstraction, Intents, Naming, many other EIPs)
- Engage with ecosystem developers (anyone using USDC, CCTP, EURO-C) to understand how Circle can support them, convert those into a roadmap and get them to market (this role involves a high level of external collaboration)
- Own the product vision, feature set, and roadmap to take these developer products from 0 to 1. The products would involve a mix of off-chain & completely on-chain protocols
- Deep dive and stay up-to-date on what's happening at the frontier of blockchain technologies - account abstraction, smart contracts, intents etc. The work might involve reading and contributing to EIPs
- Define what a great developer experience is for both developers who have written ten’s of smart contracts and developers writing their first smart contract
- Work with multiple internal stakeholders including legal, compliance, treasury & marketing to get these products to market
Our take
Circle is a financial technology firm looking to enable businesses to harness the power of digital currencies and public blockchains for payments, commerce, and financial applications. The company’s USD Coin (USDC) has become the fastest growing, regulated, and fully reserved dollar digital currency.
The company is backed by BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, and crypto exchange company Coinbase. It has been proactively preparing for possible upcoming federal regulations. With USDC circulation doubling over the last year to $60 billion, Circle is well-placed to see steady long-term growth.
