Technical Product Manager

What We're Building

Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) are critical to the future of blockchain scaling, interoperability, and privacy, but are too complex for most developers today. Succinct’s mission is to make ZKPs simple and accessible for all builders.

Our core product is SP1, a breakthrough zkVM (zero-knowledge virtual machine) that enables developers to generate ZK proofs from normal code (like Rust) with state-of-the-art performance.

To support SP1, we’ve built the Succinct Prover Network -- a protocol on Ethereum that coordinates a decentralized network of provers for universal ZK proof generation. This lets developers outsource proving to a global, competitive marketplace of provers.

Our infrastructure is already in production with many of the best teams in crypto:

• Polygon is using SP1 to build AggLayer and Katana
• Celestia and Avail use our network to secure Ethereum bridges
• Mantle ($2B TVL) is using it to become the world’s largest ZK Layer 2
• And many more, including Celo, Interchain (IBC V2), Hibachi, Lido, Galxe, Taiko, Sovereign, and others

zkVMs are now a key part of Ethereum’s scaling roadmap, and Succinct is at the forefront -- delivering real-world impact, meaningful revenue, and some of the most technically ambitious work in ZK.

We’ve raised $55M across Seed and Series A from Paradigm, and we're a small, high-performing team focused on building deeply technical products with real-world adoption.

The Role

We are looking for a highly technical Product Manager to join our team to drive product strategy and execution related to SP1 and the Succinct Prover Network.

In this role you will:

• Own and drive technical product development by interfacing between customers and our engineering team - gather feature requests, translate customer needs into technical requirements, and ensure successful implementation in collaboration with our engineering team.
• Write technical documentation, product updates, and feature announcements.
• Build and manage strategic partnerships, including coordinating with partners, documenting use cases, and working closely with Uma to drive forward GTM initiatives.
• Create compelling case studies by working directly with customers to understand their implementations, document success stories, and showcase our product use cases.

Qualifications:

• Engineering background with a transition into product management
• Crypto-native, familiar with ZK and the broader landscape, and understand why ZK will unlock new experiences and applications in crypto
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Experience gathering customer feedback and translating it into product requirements
• Track record of successful product launches and feature releases
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with tactical execution
• Strong documentation and content creation abilities

Location

Everyone on our team is located in San Francisco and works together in-person. Ideally, we’re looking for someone who enjoys in-person work and is already in San Francisco or willing to relocate (we can cover relocation costs). For senior candidates who are an exceptional fit, we’d consider a remote position as long as you’re available to onboard in-person for the first few months.

Benefits

• Highly competitive salary and equity package
• Full health, dental, and vision coverage for you and your dependents
• Daily lunch and dinner at the office
• Travel to industry events and conferences (company-paid)

Not Sure You’re 100% Qualified?

That’s okay -- if you’re passionate about ZK, love to learn fast, and are excited by our mission, we’d love to hear from you.

Compensation Range: $150K - $200K
