We’re seeking a Product Manager for our Protocol team.
O(1) Labs recently launched Mina Protocol, the world’s lightest blockchain (22KB - the size of a couple tweets) powered by recursive Snarks technology. Mina’s small size blockchain solves three of the most difficult challenges in the blockchain space - privacy, scalability, and decentralization. The Berkeley hard fork will bring programmable privacy to the blockchain world with zkApps powered by o1j.
The Protocol Product Manager will:
- Build strong relationships with Mina Ecosystem partners

- Analyze the industry to establish trends and opportunities
- Influence Mina Protocol Roadmap with customer, industry, and technology insights
- Identify and track metrics
- Evaluate and prioritize specific opportunities and areas of improvement (e.g. TPS, node operator experience, block time, etc) for the Mina protocol
- Develop product requirements (PRDs)
- Collaborate with other o1Labs engineering teams, including sdk, crypto, and platform.
- Be familiar with PM tooling, such as Github, Figma, Notion, or similar.
Ideal candidates will have:
- 1-3 years of previous experience in product management of one or more successful products or services, ideally in a web3 company.
- Some understanding of blockchain or distributed systems
- Strong technical background
- Strong project management skills. You should like getting things organized and out shipped.

We have recently brought Mina Protocol to market, a cryptocurrency that compresses the blockchain from hundreds of gigabytes down to the size of a few tweets (22KB). Mina can scale to thousands of transactions per second and millions of users while remaining decentralized enough for cell phones to be fully verifying nodes. We're now working on catalyzing a new generation of apps powered by zero-knowledge cryptography
We believe it's important to incorporate diverse perspectives from conception through realization. This is a chance to join a small, collaborative team and have a ton of independence while working on fascinating cross-disciplinary problems that span cryptography, engineering, product design, economics, and sociology. We also offer competitive compensation both in salary and equity, as well as top-of-the-market benefits.
