At Blockstream, we’re building Bitcoin solutions that will change the world of finance, forever. We imagine a future where individuals and businesses can easily access a global, permissionless system to secure their money, use it every day, and invest it or put it to work. Key to our vision is Liquid, a sidechain-based settlement network that extends Bitcoin with fast, confidential transactions and enables the issuance and trading of assets such as stablecoins, security tokens, NFTs and lending products. Supported by a member federation of exchanges, trading desks and other cryptocurrency companies, Liquid actively secures over $1 billion USD in assets which are transacted via products built by its ecosystem participants. The Liquid Network has emerged as an important layer 2 solution critical to the story of how Bitcoin scales.
As the product lead for Liquid and its ecosystem, you’ll develop a roadmap to accelerate adoption of the network. You’ll define a product vision that addresses strategic opportunities including expanded capabilities, enterprise-grade customer tools, and a more reliable, integration-friendly platform. You’ll mobilize a cross-functional team to execute your vision and deliver measurable results.
This role reports to Blockstream’s Chief Product Officer and entails management of a small, but growing team of PMs.
What You’ll Be Doing (Responsibilities):
- Define and execute on a product vision; own the product narrative and communicate effectively to all levels of the organization
- Instill a user-focused approach to product development, building empathy by interfacing with a diverse ecosystem of users, customers and partners
- Employ data-driven decision making and hold yourself and teams accountable to measurable outcomes
- Engage with engineering on technical issues and align their work to product goals
- Provide leadership and direction to cross-functional teams (engineering, UX, business development, marketing, DevOps, etc.)
- Lead and develop a team of product managers, and work alongside them as an individual contributor when necessary
What We Look For In You (Required Qualifications):
- 8+ years of experience as a product manager with a proven track record of delivering impact; also experience managing a team
- Understanding of blockchain-based technologies
- Experience building enterprise-grade solutions, better yet enterprise financial products
- Technical background (e.g. engineering degree or technical work experience); can engage with engineering teams on technical issues
- Comfort with the pace, scrappiness and dynamic environment within a growing startup
Nice To Haves (Preferred Qualifications):
- Experience managing a team
- Technical background (e.g. engineering degree or technical work experience); can engage with engineering teams on technical issues
- Entrepreneurial mindset; know how to be nimble, spot and react to new opportunities
What is the meaning of Layer 2?
Layer 2 in the context of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology refers to a secondary framework or protocol that is built on top of an existing blockchain system (the main chain or Layer 1)
The primary purpose of Layer 2 solutions is to solve the scalability and speed issues that many blockchains face, especially those that have become popular and heavily used, like Ethereum
Here are the key aspects of Layer 2 solutions:
- Scalability Enhancement: They help in scaling the main blockchain by handling transactions off the main chain. This reduces the burden on the main chain, allowing for faster and cheaper transactions.
- Types of Layer 2 Solutions: There are various forms of Layer 2 solutions, including state channels, sidechains, plasma chains, and rollups. Each has its own mechanism for interacting with the main chain and handling transactions.
- State Channels: These involve two parties engaging in numerous transactions outside of the main chain, which are then consolidated into a single transaction. This is especially useful for situations where multiple transactions occur between the same parties.
- Sidechains: These are separate blockchains that are connected to the main chain via a two-way peg. They operate independently and can have their own consensus mechanisms but are secured by the main chain.
- Plasma Chains: Plasma chains are similar to sidechains but with a more hierarchical structure. They report back to the main chain regularly and are optimized for mass transaction handling.
- Rollups: Rollups process and store transaction data on a sidechain but post transaction data to the main chain. They come in two varieties: optimistic rollups and zk-rollups, each with its own method of transaction verification.
- Security Considerations: While Layer 2 solutions are generally secure, they can have different security models compared to the main chain. This is an important consideration for users and developers.
- Impact on User Experience: For end-users, Layer 2 solutions can greatly improve the experience by reducing transaction fees and increasing transaction speeds.
- Adoption and Development: Many blockchain projects are actively developing Layer 2 solutions to enhance their networks. This is an ongoing area of innovation in the blockchain space.
