Senior Product Manager

As a Senior Product Manager at Helius, you own product across the entire data platform: real-time streaming (LaserStream), historical and archival data, RPC infrastructure, APIs, webhooks, and developer tooling. Your customers are engineers at trading firms, wallets, and data platforms, and the product decisions that matter to them are latency budgets, delivery guarantees, and API ergonomics. You'll be embedded with engineering, in the room on enterprise deals, and constantly in front of customers. This product has real traction and real revenue, and your job is deciding where it goes next.

What you'll do

• Own the product roadmap across the Helius developer platform, balancing customer requests, infrastructure investments, and new product bets
• Spend real time with customers - trading firms, wallets, indexers - understanding their architectures, latency budgets, and where our products fit or fall short
• Use our products hands-on and make code contributions where they're the fastest path: prototypes, example integrations, reproducing customer issues, and improving developer-facing tooling
• Track the competitive landscape closely (streaming providers, data API vendors) and translate it into positioning, pricing, and build/kill decisions
• Define product guarantees: delivery semantics, ordering, SLAs, and the trade-offs we're willing to make between performance, cost, and simplicity
• Write specs and decision memos that give staff-level engineers clear context without prescribing implementation
• Own pricing and packaging across the platform, including enterprise deals and usage-based models
• Drive launches end-to-end: positioning, documentation, migration guides, changelogs, and developer communication, including sensitive comms like pricing changes, billing corrections, and migration notices
• Instrument and track what matters: adoption, activation, usage growth, churn signals, latency and reliability SLOs, and revenue
• Build the lightweight product processes a senior remote team actually needs (and kill the ones it doesn't)

What you bring

• 5+ years of product management experience on technical, developer-facing products such as streaming/messaging systems, data infrastructure, APIs, market data, or similar
• Engineering experience and working coding ability: you can write code, integrate against APIs yourself, and prototype without waiting on an engineer
• Genuine technical depth in distributed systems trade-offs, throughput, backpressure, and delivery guarantees, with the ability to hold your own with staff engineers
• Crypto experience: you've built in, worked on, or shipped products for blockchain ecosystems and understand how on-chain data, wallets, and transactions work
• Experience serving demanding technical customers, ideally trading firms, fintech, or other latency-sensitive users, and turning their raw feedback into prioritized product decisions
• A track record of owning product outcomes: adoption, revenue, or retention numbers you can speak to
• Strong pricing instincts for usage-based infrastructure products
• Exceptional written communication, especially for remote and async-heavy environments where your specs, memos, and customer-facing comms on sensitive topics need to stand on their own
• Comfort operating with high autonomy as the primary product voice in the company

Nice to have

• Prior experience as a software engineer, or a history of shipping meaningful code contributions as a PM
• Direct experience with real-time market data, event streaming (Kafka, gRPC streaming, WebSockets at scale), or exchange/trading infrastructure
• Solana-specific experience: you've built on Solana or worked deeply with its data model, RPC layer, or ecosystem
• Experience as an early, founding, or lead PM at an infrastructure or devtools company

What we offer

• Market-leading salary and meaningful equity
• Fully remote, flexible work
• Generous vacation, wellness budgets, and support for learning and travel
