About the role

  • Own the Node Operator infrastructure roadmap, setting the vision and driving execution.
  • Partner with engineering to design and deliver cutting-edge infra tooling
  • Shape the long-term scaling strategy for NOPs as usage of Chainlink grows across new products, chains and markets.
  • Influence core infrastructure and architecture decisions that define how the network evolves.
  • Drive innovation in operator workflows, enabling faster, safer, and more efficient deployments.
  • Align cross-functional stakeholders (engineering, economics, product, NOP relations, ELT) around infra priorities to ensure coherent execution.

Requirements

  • Proven experience as a Product Manager in infrastructure, platform, or distributed systems, with a track record of driving technical roadmaps from strategy to execution.
  • Strong technical understanding of large-scale infrastructure systems (distributed systems, cloud infra, networking, or node operations), with the ability to engage engineering teams on architecture and design trade-offs.
  • Hands-on experience with infrastructure tooling such as Kubernetes, containerization, auto-scaling, CI/CD pipelines, or monitoring/observability systems.
  • Demonstrated success building scalable platforms or infra products that support external operators, contributors, or customers.
  • Ability to translate complex technical requirements into clear product strategy and priorities.
  • Experience leading cross-functional projects that span engineering, product, and operations teams.
  • Strategic foresight to anticipate future scaling challenges and design solutions that balance decentralization, reliability, and performance.
  • Preferred Requirements:
  • Deep understanding of infrastructure systems and distributed architectures, ideally with hands-on experience in validators, node operations, or blockchain middleware.
  • Proven experience working on platform or infra products that required scaling across large complex environments (multi-cloud, multi-region, or multi-chain)
  • Strong familiarity with auto-scaling solutions such as Kubernetes.
  • Prior background in DevOps, SRE, or distributed systems engineering.
  • Experience building infra in mission-critical environments (finance, large-scale distributed systems, or blockchain middleware).
  • Knowledge of blockchain ecosystems, ideally Chainlink itself.
