We build open-source runtimes, compilers, build systems, and deployment solutions that are used by tens of thousands of developers. We emphasize robust engineering and lean processes, allowing for quick decision-making and distraction-free software development. You have the opportunity to shape the future of the Ethereum ecosystem through deep technical work on critical developer infrastructure, where your specific contributions will have a tangible impact.\nAbout the teams\nThis role will work closely with two teams on closely related products: Hardhat and EDR, which together power the core of our Ethereum developer tooling stack.\nThe Hardhat team builds our established and market-leading products. These are user-facing infrastructure that developers use to write, test, compile, and deploy their Solidity contracts for Ethereum networks. The Hardhat suite of products is widely used in the ecosystem, and supports developers end to end, from early experimentation to production systems with billions in on-chain capital at stake.\nThe EDR (Ethereum Development Runtime) team builds a high-performance runtime in Rust for developer tooling. EDR currently powers Hardhat’s local network simulation for development and testing and is designed to be reused by other tools, supporting more consistent and maintainable execution across the Ethereum developer ecosystem.\nThis is a fully remote role, open to candidates based in Central Europe through the Americas Eastern Time zone.\nWho we’re looking for\nWe are looking for a Senior Technical Product Manager to own and drive the Hardhat and EDR product roadmaps in alignment with Nomic’s long-term vision. Both products are developer-facing and highly complex technically. Their product surface is primarily a collection of APIs and CLI tools.\nThis is a senior individual contributor role working closely with engineering teams and ecosystem partners to define, prioritise, and deliver features that power Ethereum developer workflows and core infrastructure.\nMinimum of 5 years of proven work experience as a Product Manager or Product Owner on technical, developer-facing products or platforms.\n\nMinimum of 2 years of prior professional experience as a Software Engineer, with hands-on work in a strongly typed language such as TypeScript, Rust, C++, C#, Java, or Go.\n\nA strong user-focused product mindset, with demonstrated judgment around trade-offs, collaborative problem-solving, and accountability for end-to-end outcomes.\n\nExperience translating developer needs into clear product requirements, PRDs, and product design documentation.\n\nProcess-driven product work experience across discovery, design, iteration, and release cycles.\n\nAbility to evaluate technical feasibility, architectural constraints, and engineering trade-offs from a product perspective, in close collaboration with engineers, enabling sound and pragmatic product decisions.\n\nExperience building or managing developer tooling, such as APIs, SDKs, CLIs, IDE integrations, or infrastructure platforms, either as an engineer or product manager.\n\nExposure to Ethereum protocol, tooling, or developer workflows, with a practical understanding of related infrastructure.\n\nWhat you’ll do\nOwn and execute product direction for Hardhat & EDR\nOwn, execute, and continuously refine the Hardhat and EDR product roadmaps in close collaboration with our CTO, our Head of Engineering, engineering managers, and engineering teams.\n\nAct as the primary owner of product prioritisation decisions for “what we build next,” weighing developer impact, engineering cost, ecosystem needs, and long-term strategy.\n\nAct as the primary point of contact for engineers for product and UX guidance during feature development, ensuring consistency and a high quality user experience across our products.\n\nOwn senior product execution and decision-making\nTake over core product responsibilities currently handled by Head of Engineering and CTO, including writing PRDs and product documentation, structuring feature definitions, and maintaining alignment through regular 1:1s.\n\nEnsure requirements are technically realistic, clearly scoped, and shaped by an understanding of ecosystem trade-offs and long-term implications.\n\nShape developer experience, APIs, and product design\nDefine UX expectations, API behavior, and developer-facing feature design from the developer’s perspective.\n\nDecide how new functionality should surface (API, CLI, interface, configuration, etc.), ensuring consistency and coherence across Hardhat and EDR.\n\nPartner closely with engineering to maximise impact\nWork closely with engineering teams to align on dependencies, sequencing, and trade-offs.\n\nAutonomously identify the highest-impact problems, improve prioritisation of bugs and feedback, and help unblock development.\n\nBuild strong trust with engineering teams by representing the product perspective clearly, pragmatically, and consistently in both internal and ecosystem-facing conversations.\n\nInterview Flow\nRecruiter Screen\n\nTechnical Product Deep Dive\n\nProduct Execution & Roadmap Interview\n\nLeadership Interviews\nWork Experience Interview\n\nLeadership & Culture Interview\n\nCompensation and benefits\nVesting ETH grant as part of total compensation\n\nUnlimited PTO\n\nBudget for IT equipment\n\nAnnual Learning & Development Budget\n\nStatutory benefits specific to your location (depending on the employment contract)\n\nWhy join us?\nMission-driven value creation\nYour contributions will directly impact an ecosystem that is shaping the future of finance, data, and ownership. You won’t be working on optimizing a revenue stream to increase shareholder profits; you’ll create value for the Ethereum community and developer ecosystem.\nLean and robust\nWe run robust engineering practices and lightweight processes that provide us with structure and fast decision-making. Your time will be spent on technical challenges, coding, and launching features.\nWe value diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We recognize they are essential to growth and innovation, and sometimes the perfect candidate might not tick every box in the job description. If you're passionate about what you do and have valuable experience - we want to hear from you. Your unique background and skills could be just what our team needs and we warmly encourage you to apply.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6465,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Unlimited
