Senior/ Staff Product Manager, Walrus (Distributed Storage)

Walrus Foundation is focused on creating foundational infrastructure to accelerate the adoption of decentralized protocols based on blockchain technologies. The Senior or Staff Product Manager will own the core data platform and its key product surfaces, working closely with engineers and partners to shape a reliable platform for developers to store and monetize data.

Responsibilities:

• Own and evolve the product strategy and roadmap for Walrus along with its key surfaces, including Walrus Sites and other products built on top of Walrus
• Partner deeply with engineering to improve performance, reliability, and cost efficiency across storage and data delivery workflows
• Define and ship developer-facing abstractions and experiences (e.g. Blob Management primitives, APIs, SDKs, CLIs, documentation) that make Walrus easy to adopt
• Drive product direction for emerging first-party applications built on Walrus (for example AI memory infrastructure such as MemWal), helping translate platform capabilities into compelling real-world products
• Collaborate closely with the GTM team to evolve the positioning & messaging for the broader ecosystem, especially around AI, data platforms, and developer infrastructure
• Support internal product teams building on Walrus, and external partners adopting it in production
• Incorporate partner, ecosystem, and operator feedback into clear product priorities and tradeoffs

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience as a Product Manager, including ownership of technical platform or infrastructure products used by developers, AI agents, or infrastructure operators
• Proven ability to own ambiguous problems end-to-end, from problem framing and discovery through execution, launch, and iteration
• Strong technical fluency and comfort working closely with engineers on APIs, data flows, performance tradeoffs, and system design (without needing to be the architect)
• Experience leading multi-quarter initiatives across engineering, design, docs, developer relations, and external partners, with clear prioritization and tradeoff decisions
• Good product judgment, including ability to balance developer or agentic experience, system constraints, scalability, and long-term platform direction
• Clear, concise communication skills, especially when translating complex technical systems into goals, narratives, and decisions others can align around
• Experience shaping or scaling ecosystems, not just products (e.g. working with external builders, partners, foundations, or community contributors)
• Exposure to AI, media, or data monetization use cases (datasets, marketplaces, agentic memory, or gated access models)
• Familiarity with security, privacy, or data governance concepts in production systems (even if you weren't the domain expert)
• Hands-on or product-level involvement with open-source projects
• Experience working on developer or agent-focused platforms, AI infrastructure, or data platforms at scale
