About Story

Story is a purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for intellectual property. With Story, creators can register IP on-chain and set usage terms in seconds—dramatically lowering the barrier of today’s complex and antiquated IP legal systems.

For example, instead of requiring lawyers and months of negotiation, you could enforce terms like “you owe me 50% of commercial revenue if you use my IP” through the protocol itself.

By making IP programmable, Story transforms intellectual property into a transparent, decentralized, global repository—where AI agents, developers, and humans alike can transact, license, and monetize IP with a simple API call.

In February 2025, we launched the Story mainnet , and our native $IP token is now listed on major global exchanges. As we build out the next era of programmable IP infrastructure, we’re looking for a Senior Product Manager to drive protocol innovation and ecosystem adoption.

The Role

As Senior Product Manager for Blockchain & Protocol , you’ll own the product strategy, roadmap, and execution for our core Layer 1, proof-of-concept protocols, and developer-facing APIs / SDKs. This is a highly technical role at the intersection of cryptography, distributed systems, and developer experience.

You’ll work closely with executive team, researchers, engineers, and the global ecosystem to ship new cryptographic primitives, scalability features, and developer-first infra—while ensuring Story remains secure, performant, and aligned with broader blockchain trends.

What You'll Do :

• Define and own the roadmap and execution plan of blockchain, protocol & infra roadmap across consensus, execution, smart contract, and developer surfaces.
• Ship cryptographic and protocol features and releases (e.g., DKG, ZK integrations, rollup, scaling solutions).
• Improve security, upgradeability, performance, decentralization of the core infrastructure.
• Lead both internal and external cross-functional communication with researchers, engineers, ecosystem partners, and open-source communities.
• Align Story with external roadmaps (Ethereum, Cosmos, Rollup, DA / storage trends).

Who You Are :

Nice to Have

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
