Technical Product Manager

What We're Building

ZK proofs are one of the most critical technologies to blockchain scaling, interoperability and privacy, but are too complex for most developers today. Succinct’s mission is to make zero knowledge proofs accessible to any developer.

SP1 is a state of the art, 100% open-source zkVM with performance that rivals custom ZK circuits and is up to 30x faster than any existing zkVM. SP1 is a turning point for ZKP adoption: it makes it easy for any developer to use ZKPs by writing normal code in Rust (instead of complex circuits). The Succinct Prover Network , under active development, is a hosted infrastructure layer for any application to outsource proof-generation for open-source proof systems.

Today, top teams in the space, including Polygon , Sovereign , Celestia , Wormhole , Lido , Taiko , EigenLayer , Avail , Near , and Gnosis are using Succinct’s infrastructure to build with ZKPs. We have a track record of shipping excellent products and cutting-edge technical work in ZK and have generated significant revenue already.

We recently announced our $55 million raise across our Seed and Series A led by Paradigm, the leading investor in crypto. Our team is still small but incredibly strong, and we are looking for exceptional people who are excited to work hard on challenging and impactful problems in a fast-paced environment. Our office is located in San Francisco and we have a strong preference for candidates based there for this role, but are open to exceptional remote candidates.

The Role

We are looking for a highly technical Technical Product Manager to join our team to drive product strategy and execution related to SP1 and the Succinct Prover Network. In this role you will:

• Own and drive technical product development by interfacing between customers and our engineering team - gather feature requests, translate customer needs into technical requirements, and ensure successful implementation in collaboration with our engineering team.

• Write technical documentation, product updates, and feature announcements.

• Build and manage strategic partnerships, including coordinating with partners, documenting use cases, and working closely with Uma to drive forward GTM initiatives.

• Create compelling case studies by working directly with customers to understand their implementations, document success stories, and showcase our product use cases.

• Develop and execute product strategy by synthesizing customer feedback, market research, and technical capabilities to inform future product direction and next-generation features.

Qualifications:

• Engineering background with a transition into product management

• Crypto-native, familiar with ZK and the broader landscape, and understand why ZK will unlock new experiences and applications in crypto

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• Experience gathering customer feedback and translating it into product requirements

• Track record of successful product launches and feature releases

• Ability to balance strategic thinking with tactical execution

• Strong documentation and content creation abilities

Location

Everyone on our team is located in San Francisco and works together in-person. Ideally, we’re looking for someone who enjoys in-person work and is already in San Francisco or willing to relocate (we can cover relocation costs). For senior candidates who are an exceptional fit, we’d consider a remote position as long as you’re available to onboard in-person for the first few months.

Benefits

• Above-market salary and generous equity compensation

• Health, dental, and vision insurance for employees and their dependents

• Lunch and dinner provided at the office

• Optional, company-paid travel to events and conferences
