Senior Product Manager, Node Infrastructure

About the role

This role exists to own and evolve the full operational layer of the NOP network, including the tooling, infrastructure, and standards that enable both internal teams and external operators to run it effectively. As the network grows, so does the opportunity to build systems and processes that make it more scalable, reliable, and consistent. You'll define the strategy, drive the roadmap, and deliver the operational infrastructure that lets the NOP network scale efficiently. Success looks like a network that operates with high reliability, reduced manual overhead, and a professionalized operator experience.

Requirements

• Proven end-to-end ownership of infrastructure or operational products, including defining product direction and delivering outcomes in complex technical environments
• Demonstrated ability to automate or systematically reduce manual operational workflows at scale
• Comfortable setting up, maintaining, and improving operational systems and workflows and able to make pragmatic tooling choices that serve the team without over-engineering the process
• Able to engage as a peer with engineers on technical infrastructure decisions, with the ability to interpret technical architecture and influence tooling and infrastructure decisions
• Proven ability to own structured communications to external partners or operator communities
• Experience operating across multiple stakeholder groups simultaneously, including internal teams and external partners
• Track record of influencing and delivering outcomes across teams without direct authority
• Experience navigating ambiguous environments and building structured processes where none previously existed

Preferred Requirements

• Experience working in crypto, blockchain infrastructure, or node/validator operations environments
• Familiarity with Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, or node hardware environments, with enough technical grounding to set direction alongside engineering teams
• Experience building or owning internal tooling such as portals, dashboards, or workflow systems
• Exposure to working alongside data science and engineering teams on automation or optimization initiatives
