Senior Ethereum Product Manager

At Figment, our mission is to create an Internet that is truly decentralized where users can freely interact, share, collaborate, and exchange goods and services in a trustless environment. We offer staking, middleware, and application layer solutions for token holders and developers investing in and building on Web 3 technologies. Together, we can build a better Internet.

Impact

Ethereum is the largest staking network, but only < 15% of tokens are staked. The ability to withdraw (unstake) will soon become available with the upcoming Shanghai release and usher in a new phase of ETH staking that will triple or quadruple the amount of staking on the network.

The Sr ETH PM is responsible for iterating our existing ETH staking products to go after this once in a generation opportunity. We serve customers both in the Figment app as well as our API suite, and the ETH product spans both.

Responsibilities

• Be the voice of the customer internally for all things Ethereum, including topics like staking/unstaking, rewards, validator performance and client selection, MEV, geographic and regulatory considerations, and onchain product capabilities
• Be in constant contact with customers and maintain trusted relationships to gather feedback
• Be deep in the weeds on how Ethereum works and how upcoming changes affect our offering
• Partner with the internal Ethereum Engineering Manager to maintain a prioritized backlog for the Engineering team that practices Lean Development
• Partner with the internal Ethereum Protocol Research Lead to stay up to date on upgrades and how the protocol is developing

Requirements

• Deep Ethereum protocol knowledge and extensive practical experience using the Ethereum blockchain
• 5+ years of experience as a Product Manager, ideally working in crypto
• Have opinions on what separates a good PM from a great PM
• Based in North America timezones
• Know what it takes to thrive in a remote work environment
• Excellent writer and can capture thoughts and persuade in written form
