SDF is hiring Product Managers to help shape the next chapter of the Stellar network. This is a generalist product role: depending on your strengths and where the ecosystem needs you most, you could own work spanning the core protocol, enterprise payments and tokenization, DeFi, developer experience and tooling, or the emerging surface of AI agents transacting on-chain. You will work shoulder-to-shoulder with world-class engineers, designers, and ecosystem partners to take ideas from problem to shipped product. We are looking for builders who use AI extensively to accelerate their work - and who increasingly deliver working prototypes, not just specs.
In this role, you will:- In your first 30 days: ramp on the Stellar network, our products, and the ecosystem; meet your engineering, design, and partner counterparts; and ship a first small improvement end-to-end.
- Within 90 days: own a product area, build a prioritized roadmap grounded in real user and ecosystem needs, and establish a steady delivery cadence with your team.
- Define and drive product strategy and roadmap for your area, across one or more of: core protocol, enterprise, DeFi, developer experience, and agents.
- Talk to users, developers, and partners constantly, and translate their needs and pain points into a compelling vision and crisp, actionable requirements.
- Use AI tools to accelerate discovery and delivery - generating prototypes, mockups, and working demos to validate ideas before committing engineering time.
- Partner closely with Engineering and Design to ship high-quality products with urgency, and measure their impact after launch.
- Balance the needs of the network today with the longer-term future you are building toward.
You have:- 3+ years of product management experience shipping software products end-to-end.
- A track record of using AI tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor, v0, and similar) to accelerate your work - including building working prototypes, not just writing specs.
- The ability to translate user needs and pain points into both a long-term vision and near-term technical requirements.
- Strong written and verbal communication; you can align engineers, designers, and partners around a plan.
- Comfort with technical products and ambiguity; you operate from first principles with a strong bias to ship.
- High user empathy and a high bar for quality.
Bonus Points if:- Experience building on or with blockchain, crypto, or fintech products.
- Experience with developer-facing products (APIs, SDKs, CLIs) or open-source projects.
- Experience in payments, DeFi, or enterprise / B2B platforms.
- You can code or prototype yourself (even lightly) and have shipped AI-assisted prototypes.
- Experience in fast-moving, high-autonomy environments.
- Knowledge of the Stellar network and Soroban smart contracts.
