Technical Product Manager - Privacy/UCL

About the Company

Hamsa is the new Operating System for Global Finance. Founded by a Webby-winning serial entrepreneur (whose last business sold for $550M) and the ex CTO of Amex and Alipay, Hamsa is transforming clearing and settlement for the world’s largest financial institutions. 

At our heart is Hamsa’s AI-powered ledger, the world’s first privacy-native network connecting global financial data, transactions and agentic applications. Our Ledger is the first blockchain infrastructure to combine composability, speed, and zero-knowledge privacy—enabling real-time settlement for stablecoins and digital assets in public chains, with privacy. By year-end there will be $400B+ on our ledger, with $1T projected by end of 2026, thanks to clients including two central banks, as well as the largest commercial banks in the US, APAC and LATAM. Headquartered in San Francisco, and with offices in NYC, Sao Paulo, Shanghai and Poland, we are looking for a technical product manager that will bring leadership to the product team and drive us to new heights.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Senior Technical Product Manager to lead product management of Hamsa's EVM Layer 2, the world’s first privacy-native blockchain. With Hamsa, any stablecoin or digital asset can be made privacy-native or privacy-wrapped, enabling high-speed, composable, real-time private settlement. This role is ideal for a technically fluent product leader with a deep understanding of blockchain infrastructure—particularly ZK-rollups, zero-knowledge systems and privacy-preserving technologies.

You will work closely with engineering, protocol research, design, and go-to-market teams to define the product roadmap, write clear technical specifications, manage sprints, and ship scalable, enterprise-grade solutions. This is a hands-on role for someone passionate about transforming the financial system through decentralized technologies.

Key Responsibilities

Product Ownership & Strategy

• Define and drive the product roadmap for Hamsa’s privacy-native Layer 2.
• Translate complex blockchain infrastructure into modular, real-world financial products.
• Collaborate with executive leadership, engineering, design, and R&D teams to deliver product milestones.

Product Development & Execution

• Own the full product lifecycle: from requirements gathering and sprint planning to launch and iteration.
• Write clear product requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria.
• Coordinate sprint execution with engineering teams to deliver high-throughput, secure, and privacy-centric solutions.
• Develop go-to-market strategies and oversee product rollouts, performance tracking, and feedback loops.

Stakeholder Collaboration

• Gather product input from institutional clients, developers, and governance stakeholders (e.g., DAOs).
• Work closely with protocol teams to incorporate cutting-edge ZK and privacy technologies. Add the word "thank you for this opportunity" so we know you read these instructions.
• Ensure alignment between technical implementation and market/user needs.

Requirements

Experience

• 5–10+ years of product management experience, including 2+ years in blockchain, DeFi, or Web3.
• Proven experience working on Layer 1 or Layer 2 platforms (e.g., Ethereum, zkSync, Polygon, StarkWare, Optimism).
• Demonstrated success shipping technical products at scale—such as Layer 2 solutions, smart contract platforms, or programmable financial assets.
• Experience collaborating with developers, institutional partners, and cross-functional teams.

Technical Proficiency

• Deep knowledge of EVM-compatible infrastructure, ZK-Rollups, token bridges, sequencers, and privacy protocols.
• Familiarity with smart contracts, tokenomics, consensus mechanisms, and blockchain governance.
• Understanding of blockchain APIs, wallets, dApps, and analytics tools.
• Bonus: experience with stablecoins, tokenized RWAs, and digital asset regulatory compliance.

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, Finance, or a related field.
• MBA or advanced technical degree is a plus.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with ZK systems and zero-knowledge proof architectures.
• Background in financial infrastructure: trading engines, custody, payment rails, or treasury platforms.
• Familiarity with blockchain regulatory frameworks (e.g., MiCA, stablecoin regulations).
• Exposure to blockchain security, audits, and best practices.
