Machine intelligence will soon take over humanity’s role in knowledge-keeping and creation. What started in the mid-1990s as the gradual off-loading of knowledge and decision making to search engines will be rapidly replaced by vast neural networks - with all knowledge compressed into their artificial neurons. Unlike organic life, machine intelligence, built within silicon, needs protocols to coordinate and grow. And, like nature, these protocols should be open, permissionless, and neutral. Starting with compute hardware, the Gensyn protocol networks together the core resources required for machine intelligence to flourish alongside human intelligence.
The Role
- Take high-level product direction and drive delivery by owning the specification, building detailed project plans, and aligning highly technical engineering and research teams on priorities to ensure we ship the right things—on time, and at top quality
Responsibilities
- Convert user feedback into detailed product requirements, narratives, and technical specifications
- Use data to better understand user needs, optimise the product experience, and guide future product development
- Drive sprint and milestone planning in partnership with Engineering and Product; ensuring teams are aligned, focused and unblocked
- Own day-to-day program delivery: build schedules, run planning cycles, manage timelines, track progress, and escalate risks
- Act as a trusted source of truth for leadership — providing clear, accurate updates on delivery progress and tradeoffs
- Facilitate retrospectives and program reviews to improve how we execute over time
Competencies
Must have
- Proven ability to autonomously drive product delivery across multiple teams and disciplines, especially in engineering and research-heavy contexts
- Strong project management skills: scoping, scheduling, milestone tracking, stakeholder coordination, and risk mitigation
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to concisely communicate complex topics to a range of audiences
- Background in infrastructure, ML platforms, distributed systems, and/or crypto protocols
Preferred
- Experience designing and delivering infrastructure-level products aimed at developers
- Experience with research-heavy products at the cutting-edge, where solutions are theoretical / technically unproven
- Experience driving product delivery at a top-tier machine learning company
Nice to have
- Hands on programming experience
Compensation / Benefits
- Competitive salary + share of equity and token pool
- Fully remote work - we currently hire between the West Coast (PT) and Central Europe (CET) time zones
- Visa sponsorship - available for those who would like to relocate to the US after being hired
- 3-4x all expenses paid company retreats around the world, per year
- Whatever equipment you need
- Paid sick leave and flexible vacation
- Company-sponsored health, vision, and dental insurance - including spouse/dependents [🇺🇸 only]
Our Principles
Autonomy & Independence
- Don’t ask for permission - we have a constraint culture, not a permission culture.
- Claim ownership of any work stream and set its goals/deadlines, rather than waiting to be assigned work or relying on job specs.
- Push & pull context on your work rather than waiting for information from others and assuming people know what you’re doing.
- Communicate to be understood rather than pushing out information and expecting others to work to understand it.
- Stay a small team - misalignment and politics scale super-linearly with team size. Small protocol teams rival much larger traditional teams.
Rejection of mediocrity & high performance
- Give direct feedback to everyone immediately - rather than avoiding unpopularity, expecting things to improve naturally, or trading short-term pain for extreme long-term pain.
- Embrace an extreme learning rate - rather than assuming limits to your ability / knowledge.
- Don’t quit - push to the final outcome, despite any barriers.
- Be anti-fragile - balance short-term risk for long-term outcomes.
- Reject waste - guard the company’s time, rather than wasting it in meetings without clear purpose/focus, or bikeshedding.
