Circle is a financial technology company at the epicenter of the emerging internet of money, where value can finally travel like other digital data — globally, nearly instantly and less expensively than legacy settlement systems. This ground-breaking new internet layer opens up previously unimaginable possibilities for payments, commerce and markets that can help raise global economic prosperity and enhance inclusion. Our infrastructure – including USDC, a blockchain-based dollar – helps businesses, institutions and developers harness these breakthroughs and capitalize on this major turning point in the evolution of money and technology.

What You’ll Be Part Of

Circle is committed to visibility and stability in everything we do. As we grow as an organization, we're expanding into some of the world's strongest jurisdictions. Speed and efficiency are motivators for our success and our employees live by our company values: High Integrity, Future Forward, Multistakeholder, Mindful, and Driven by Excellence. We have built a flexible and diverse work environment where new ideas are encouraged and everyone is a stakeholder.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

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).

What You'll Work On

• 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.
  
  

What You’ll Bring To Circle

Lead Product Manager

• You have more than 7 years of product management or entrepreneurship experience, with 2+ years of building in crypto, preferably developer infrastructure tools or a protocol.
• You have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Sciences, engineering or a related field. You have 3+ years of experience as a software developer or have previous expertise building products for developers.
• You have a deep understanding of blockchain technologies. You actively use and experiment with dapps, read EIPs and engage with communities.
