What you'll do

• Lead strategy and execution to scale developer and protocol adoption on Arc Network, defining growth loops that increase integrations across DeFi protocols, wallets, and fintechs building on Arc.

• Partner with Data Science, Growth Engineering, and Developer Relations to instrument funnel analytics and usage telemetry across the Circle platform, iterating on developer-facing features, SDKs, and dashboards to convert sign-ups into active users.
• Collaborate with Developer Relations, Product Marketing, and Business Development to position Arc Network and Circle's developer stack as trusted infrastructure for on-chain finance, defining how developers discover, understand, and integrate Circle's platform through documentation, sandboxes, reference apps, and events.
• Coordinate with product managers leading infrastructure products such as USDC issuance, CCTP, and wallets to ensure cohesive developer experiences and compounding platform effects.
• Partner across Engineering, Design, Compliance, and Operations to deliver growth-focused product releases and ecosystem partnerships that meet the highest standards for technical excellence, regulatory compliance, and user trust.
