The Role

We’re looking for a Technical Product Manager to own Gensyn’s core infrastructure systems — foundational primitives such as REE (verifiable execution of AI/ML workloads) and AXL (p2p networking for AI agents), along with the execution, coordination, and training layers that power our decentralized AI protocol.

This is a 0–1 role. You will shape low-level infrastructure, define developer-facing surfaces, and help identify how our tech reaches real product-market fit.

Responsibilities

Own product direction and delivery for core infrastructure systems
Partner with engineering and research to shape complex systems into usable products
Translate distributed systems and ML workflows into clear developer-facing abstractions
Define APIs, SDKs, and workflows that enable others to build on the protocol
Engage directly with technical users (ML Engineers & Researchers) to identify friction and improve usability
Identify and validate early product-market fit through use cases and design partners
Connect technical capabilities to real-world and commercial outcomes
Define and track metrics for adoption, reliability, and developer satisfaction

Competencies

Must Have

Experience in early-stage or high-growth startups with high ownership and ambiguity
Proven ability to drive product delivery across technical teams, especially in infrastructure, platform, or developer-facing systems
Strong technical communication skills and ability to translate complex systems into clear product direction and user value
Background in domains such as distributed systems, compute platforms, compilers, or APIs/SDKs
Experience building for technical users (engineers, developers, researchers), with strong empathy for developer workflows and integration pain points
Ability to connect technical systems to real-world use cases and commercial outcomes

Preferred

Experience with AI coding/prototyping tools (e.g., Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot)
Experience owning core infrastructure or developer platforms end-to-end
Experience working in research-heavy or AI/ML-driven environments
Experience taking technically novel systems toward product-market fit
Exposure to decentralized or protocol-based systems

Nice to Have

Hands-on programming experience (Python, Go, Rust, or similar)
Open-source contribution or community 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
Communicate to be understood rather than expecting others to work to understand it
Stay a small team — misalignment and politics scale super-linearly with team size

Rejection of Mediocrity & High Performance

Give direct feedback immediately rather than avoiding unpopularity
Embrace an extreme learning rate
Don’t quit — push to the final outcome despite barriers
Be anti-fragile — balance short-term risk for long-term outcomes
Reject waste — guard the company’s time, avoid meetings without clear purpose/focus, and resist bikeshedding
