Product Manager

Responsibilities

• Define and drive product strategy and roadmap for your area, across one or more of: core protocol, enterprise, DeFi, developer experience, and agents.
• Talk to users, developers, and partners constantly, and translate their needs and pain points into a compelling vision and crisp, actionable requirements.
• Use AI tools to accelerate discovery and delivery — generating prototypes, mockups, and working demos to validate ideas before committing engineering time.
• Partner closely with Engineering and Design to ship high-quality products with urgency, and measure their impact after launch.
• Balance the needs of the network today with the longer-term future you are building toward.

In your first 30 days: ramp on the Stellar network, our products, and the ecosystem; meet your engineering, design, and partner counterparts; and ship a first small improvement end-to-end.

Within 90 days: own a product area, build a prioritized roadmap grounded in real user and ecosystem needs, and establish a steady delivery cadence with your team.

Requirements

• 3+ years of product management experience shipping software products end-to-end.
• A track record of using AI tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor, v0, and similar) to accelerate your work — including building working prototypes, not just writing specs.
• The ability to translate user needs and pain points into both a long-term vision and near-term technical requirements.
• Strong written and verbal communication; you can align engineers, designers, and partners around a plan.
• Comfort with technical products and ambiguity; you operate from first principles with a strong bias to ship.
• High user empathy and a high bar for quality.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience building on or with blockchain, crypto, or fintech products.
• Experience with developer-facing products (APIs, SDKs, CLIs) or open-source projects.
• Experience in payments, DeFi, or enterprise / B2B platforms.
• You can code or prototype yourself (even lightly) and have shipped AI-assisted prototypes.
• Experience in fast-moving, high-autonomy environments.
• Knowledge of the Stellar network and Soroban smart contracts.
