The Role:

An interesting thought experiment is to consider what breaks if, today, we forced 1B users to be active on-chain. The answer is “a lot”, and as a Technical Product Manager at Alchemy, you will be at the forefront of driving solutions to these problems, and enabling the onboarding of the next billion users to the decentralized web. Your core focus will be on addressing the technical challenges of bringing a billion people on-chain. The current focus is specifically centered around enabling improved user experience via Account Abstraction infrastructure and over time, it may extend to other problems like interoperability and MEV. This role is not just cross-functional internally, but cross-functional within the entire EVM ecosystem. You will be responsible for driving product roadmaps internally, as well as working with the ecosystem to push forward advancements via open source contributions, standards, and partnerships. If you are highly technical, passionate about blockchain technology, and eager to create a positive impact on the decentralized web, we'd love to hear from you.
