Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for thinkers and doers who are eager to embrace new challenges and seek solutions that will push existing boundaries. If you believe in the importance of transparency, trust, and the decentralization of control, and if you’re curious, adaptable, and want to disrupt the status quo, then we want to hear from you
- We invite individuals with a strong interest in blockchain and a talent for approaching problems from unique perspectives to join us in shaping the future of this dynamic field
- 5+ years of experience as a PM on a high performing consumer or growth product team at a consumer tech company
- A crypto-native mindset, deeply familiar with several entrenched blockchain applications OR deep expertise in traditional financial systems and their connection to web3
- Track record of delivering impact through data-driven experimentation and strategic bets
- You are value-oriented and constantly thinking about how your team’s work ladders up to business and user value
- You are a strong cross-functional collaborator, both within the product development organization and with business functions
- A flexible and reliable team member, comfortable taking ownership and navigating ambiguity
- Experience at a high-growth technology company or software startup is strongly preferred
What the job involves
- As part of the Product team at Offchain Labs, you will get to work with leaders in the blockchain space solving novel technical, economic, and social challenges. In this role you’ll work directly with our CTO and head of Product in your day-to-day work. As a Consumer PM, you will be responsible for building out and iterating on our user-facing roadmap
- Jointly own our user-facing roadmap focused on delivering products that degens and normies alike rely on every day
- Ideate, define, and champion features that build towards a best-in-class discovery and asset management experience for new financial primitives
- Shape an evolving, emerging business strategy for the company, and steward operational excellence
- 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 updates
Our take
The Ethereum blockchain has seen a surge in activity over the past year or so - but, much to users' frustration, its transaction volume has failed to scale accordingly, leading to hefty gas fees and slow transaction times. Offchain Labs is one of a few players developing Layer 2 rollup solutions, and its Arbitrum rollup has gathered substantial momentum and support in a relatively short time.
Offchain Labs’ Arbitrum claims to offer all the benefits of a rollup - less costly, more efficient - without compromising on security. It is, at the time of writing, the only scaling solution for Ethereum that has working fraud proofs, and at the end of 2021 was dominating the layer 2 rollup market share.
This kind of high profile and superior efficacy determines a successful blockchain technology. With Offchain Labs’ leadership pedigree, it’s no surprise the company is leading rollup innovation efforts. This sector, however, moves at lightning speed—and the competing ZK rollups are by no means out of the picture just yet.
