About the role

  • Own, execute, and continuously refine the Hardhat and EDR product roadmaps in close collaboration with our CTO, our Head of Engineering, engineering managers, and engineering teams.
  • Act as the primary owner of product prioritisation decisions for “what we build next,” weighing developer impact, engineering cost, ecosystem needs, and long-term strategy.
  • Act as the primary point of contact for engineers for product and UX guidance during feature development, ensuring consistency and a high quality user experience across our products.
  • Take over core product responsibilities currently handled by Head of Engineering and CTO, including writing PRDs and product documentation, structuring feature definitions, and maintaining alignment through regular 1:1s.
  • Ensure requirements are technically realistic, clearly scoped, and shaped by an understanding of ecosystem trade-offs and long-term implications.
  • Define UX expectations, API behavior, and developer-facing feature design from the developer’s perspective.
  • Decide how new functionality should surface (API, CLI, interface, configuration, etc.), ensuring consistency and coherence across Hardhat and EDR.
  • Work closely with engineering teams to align on dependencies, sequencing, and trade-offs.
  • Autonomously identify the highest-impact problems, improve prioritisation of bugs and feedback, and help unblock development.
  • Build strong trust with engineering teams by representing the product perspective clearly, pragmatically, and consistently in both internal and ecosystem-facing conversations.

Requirements

  • Minimum of 5 years of proven work experience as a Product Manager or Product Owner on technical, developer-facing products or platforms.
  • Minimum of 2 years of prior professional experience as a Software Engineer, with hands-on work in a strongly typed language such as TypeScript, Rust, C++, C#, Java, or Go.
  • A strong user-focused product mindset, with demonstrated judgment around trade-offs, collaborative problem-solving, and accountability for end-to-end outcomes.
  • Experience translating developer needs into clear product requirements, PRDs, and product design documentation.
  • Process-driven product work experience across discovery, design, iteration, and release cycles.
  • Ability to evaluate technical feasibility, architectural constraints, and engineering trade-offs from a product perspective, in close collaboration with engineers, enabling sound and pragmatic product decisions.
  • Experience building or managing developer tooling, such as APIs, SDKs, CLIs, IDE integrations, or infrastructure platforms, either as an engineer or product manager.
  • Exposure to Ethereum protocol, tooling, or developer workflows, with a practical understanding of related infrastructure.
