Web3 Jobs: Chief Product Officer
Job Type: Remote.
Organization: Dv Labs
Location: Worldwide
Role: Chief Product Officer
Who Are We?
Dv Labs is a remote-first research and software development team focused on Proof of Stake infrastructure for public blockchain networks. Our specific areas of focus include Internet Bonds, Distributed Validator Technology, and Multi-Operator Validation. Our core team consists of over 30 members spread across more than 15 countries.
The Core Team: We are building the Obol Network, a protocol designed to foster trust-minimized staking through multi-operator validation. This will enable low-trust access to Ethereum staking yield, serving as a foundational element in various Web3 products.
The Network
Visualization: The network can be visualized as a work layer directly above the base layer consensus, designed to enhance resiliency and decentralization as it scales. As Ethereum enters its next phase of scaling, addressing stake centralization becomes the key challenge. Layers like Obol are essential for the long-term viability and resiliency of public networks, especially Ethereum.
Focus: Obol is dedicated to scaling main chain staking by providing permissionless access to Distributed Validators. The network employs a middleware implementation of Distributed Validator Technology (DVT) to enable the operation of distributed validator clusters, preserving validators’ existing client and remote signing configurations.
Just as roll-up technology laid the foundation for Layer 2 scaling, we believe DVT will do the same for scaling the consensus layer while maintaining decentralization. Staking infrastructure is evolving into its protocol phase, necessitating trust-minimized staking networks that can be integrated at scale. We foresee DVT becoming a widely adopted primitive, ensuring the security, resiliency, and decentralization of public networks.
The Obol Network develops and maintains three core public goods:
- DV Launchpad: A user interface for bootstrapping and managing Distributed Validators.
- Charon: A Golang-based middleware client that enables validators to run in a fault-tolerant, distributed manner.
- Obol Splits: A set of Solidity contracts for forming Distributed Validators tailored to various use cases such as DeFi, Liquid Staking, and Fractionalized Deposits.
Sustainable Public Goods
Dv Labs is inspired by previous work on Ethereum public goods and is experimenting with circular economics. We believe that to unlock innovation in staking use cases, a credibly neutral layer must exist to allow innovation to flow and evolve vertically. Without this layer, highly available uptime will remain a competitive barrier.
The Obol Network aims to become an open, community-governed, self-sustaining project over the coming months and years. Together, we will incentivize, build, and maintain distributed validator technology to make public networks a more secure and resilient foundation for future development.
Mission of the Role
We are looking for a Chief Product Officer to define and drive Obol’s product strategy with the support of the executive team. This role is responsible for the product vision, direction, roadmap, and communication of DV Labs. The next phase of GTM execution should be a collaborative effort between Product, Business, and Growth to capture the market we have created.
Responsibilities:
- Own and drive Obol’s product vision and strategy to enable growth and success.
- Scale and lead our product and design organization while maintaining a high-performing culture.
- Oversee the company’s entire product suite, acting as a counterpart to our CTO and providing roadmap definition.
- Focus on the software products and services offered by DV Labs.
- Translate the product roadmap and the steps taken by the product team into board-level communication.
- Lead the design of node operator tooling and its accompanying developer experience to enable the deployment of DVs across various environments.
- Refine and further develop our Solidity products for seamless incorporation of DVs into existing Ethereum protocols.
- Develop best-in-class onboarding flows for UI and programmatic creation of distributed validators.
- Develop editable distributed validator clusters and oversee the necessary changes across the Obol Product Suite.
- Analyze product performance and iterate on design to solve challenges.
- Promote the distributed validator vision with external clients and public outlets.
- Manage and progress DV Labs operations in collaboration with the Executive team.
- Ensure products align with company strategy and verify that the product team is appropriately resourced.
- Contribute to recruiting processes to ensure the addition of qualified and talented team members.
Requirements:
- Deeply technical background with mandatory expertise in Solidity smart contract design.
- Knowledge in protocol design and development, REST API and SDK development, Front-end DApp development, Ethereum validator tech stacks, Ethereum clients, Ethereum Layer 2s, and DevOps/Running production-grade infrastructure.
- Preferred time zone: GMT-5 to GMT+3.
Benefits:
- Competitive compensation
- Annual Global Off-site
- Opportunity to attend DevCon (or a blockchain conference of choice)
- Generous paid time off
- Budget for personal equipment
- Budget for training or education
