Senior Product Manager

At Matter Labs, we believe freedom drives progress and prosperity. We don’t see ourselves as a company, but as a team aligned around a single mission: to advance personal freedom for all (see ZK Credo).

To achieve this goal, we’re building zkSync — a credibly neutral, fully open source technology stack and network on top of Ethereum, which is owned and governed by its community. We use advanced cryptography called zero-knowledge proofs to scale Ethereum infinitely without compromising on security or decentralization. With a world-class team, a community of over 1M supporters across Twitter + Discord, and hundreds of millions $ in funding, we have abundant resources to accomplish the mission.

We are looking for Senior Product Managers to join Matter Labs and focus on several new verticals. These roles will have a major influence in shaping the strategy to elevate zkSync Era as the best option in the Ethereum scaling ecosystem.

These are key roles with a high probability to increase in scope and responsibility as the company scales and the protocol gains more adoption.
