Anza

Technical Product Manager

• Who We AreAnza is a Solana R&D lab pushing the boundaries of blockchain performance and scalability. Anza was founded by experienced executives and core engineers solving the toughest problems in Web3. Crypto ecosystems rely on robust protocols, and we believe those are best built out in the open, with multiple contributors. We pioneer advanced solutions to meet the evolving demands of decentralized applications.
• The RoleAs Technical Product Marketing Manager, you will own how Anza's work reaches the validators, developers, and ecosystem partners who build on and depend on the Agave client. You will sit at the intersection of engineering, developer relations, and external communications, translating deeply technical protocol work into a clear narrative, coordinating major launches end-to-end, and shaping how the broader Solana ecosystem understands what Anza ships and why it matters.
• This is not a traditional product marketing role. You will be expected to skim code change descriptions & Solana Improvement Documents or sit in on a working group call and walk out with an understanding of what it is, who needs to hear about it, and how to talk about it. Your work will heavily influence the ecosystem’s understanding and adoption of Anza’s work.
• Responsibilities
• - Major Launch Coordination: Own end-to-end coordination for Anza's most consequential 2026 launches; Alpenglow's path to mainnet, MCP's initial release, IBRL milestones, and the validator-facing rollout of changes like SIMD-0123 (Block Revenue Distribution). Drive narrative development, content production, spokesperson selection, timing, and channel strategy across Anza, the Solana Foundation, and ecosystem partners.
• - Release Management: Drive the marketing motion for the Agave release cycle, including the upcoming 4.2 release and the parallel stable/beta tracks. Determine what gets highlighted, who speaks to what, when announcements drop, and how the story unfolds across our blog, social, GitHub release notes, technical documentation, and press. Build a repeatable release playbook so future releases ship with consistent quality and momentum.
• - Technical Content and Positioning: Translate consensus changes (Alpenglow, MCP), networking and execution improvements (XDP, direct mapping, block limit increases), and operator/developer experience work (scheduler bindings, rent reduction, larger transaction sizes) into clear messaging for validators, developers, and the broader ecosystem. Write and edit launch posts, deep-dive explainers, and supporting collateral.
• - Social and Channel Ownership: Manage Anza's X (Twitter) presence end-to-end, setting editorial direction, drafting and scheduling posts, amplifying engineering wins, coordinating launch-day social rollouts, and engaging directly with the validator, developer, and broader Solana community. Treat the account as a primary surface for Anza's voice, not an afterthought.
• - Media and Foundation Coordination: Build relationships with crypto and infrastructure media and coordinate closely with the Solana Foundation on joint narrative, event timing, and media strategy across major milestones.
• - Project Management: Own the operational backbone of Anza's marketing and communications motion, running content calendars, tracking cross-team alignment on launches, coordinating review cycles, and managing the dependencies and timelines that keep external rollouts on track. You will be the person making sure the surrounding communications, content, and partner coordination land on time and in sync without becoming a tax on the engineers doing the work.
• - Messaging and Narrative: Develop messaging frameworks and positioning for Agave and Anza's broader product surface, and ensure narrative consistency across all external touchpoints — from GitHub release notes to mainstage conference keynotes.
