Technical Product Manager

We’re looking for a Technical Product Manager to sit between Gensyn's core technology and the people who build on it. You'll own how our capabilities (verifiable execution, p2p agent networking, on-chain information markets) reach real users: shaping the product surface, working directly with design partners, and doing the technical pre-sales work that turns novel infrastructure into deployed use cases.

This is a 0–1 role. You will be in the room with partners and users, then back in the product defining what has to change.

• →Own how Gensyn's technology reaches users: product surface, packaging, and the path from first conversation to deployed integration.
• →Partner with engineering and research teams to shape complex systems into usable products.
• →Run technical discovery and pre-sales conversations with prospective partners and integrators, and turn them into scoped, committed use cases.
• →Build reference integrations, demos, and technical collateral that let partners self-serve.
• →Own the feedback loop from design partners back into the roadmap.
• →Provide BD and marketing the technical substance behind the pitch.
• →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.

• 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 the ability to translate complex systems into clear product direction and user value.
• Fluency with AI coding and prototyping tools (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex). This is how the team works day to day.
• 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.

• Background in crypto finance or on-chain infrastructure (DeFi protocols, exchanges, market infrastructure, wallets, or similar), with real understanding of how those systems work under the hood.
• Experience in a technical pre-sales, solutions engineering, or partner-facing product role.
• 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.

• Hands-on programming experience (Python, Go, Rust, or similar).
• Open-source contribution or community experience.

• 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.

• 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.
