This role sits at the intersection of distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and blockchain operations. You’ll partner closely with world-class engineering teams to build resilient deployment pipelines, seamless configuration management, and automated scaling solutions that keep the Chainlink network performant under ever-increasing demand.

Your Impact

Own the Node Operator infrastructure roadmap, setting the vision and driving execution.
Partner with engineering to design and deliver cutting-edge infra tooling
Shape the long-term scaling strategy for NOPs as usage of Chainlink grows across new products, chains and markets.
Influence core infrastructure and architecture decisions that define how the network evolves.
Drive innovation in operator workflows, enabling faster, safer, and more efficient deployments.
Align cross-functional stakeholders (engineering, economics, product, NOP relations, ELT) around infra priorities to ensure coherent execution.

Requirements

Proven experience as a Product Manager in infrastructure, platform, or distributed systems, with a track record of driving technical roadmaps from strategy to execution.
Strong technical understanding of large-scale infrastructure systems (distributed systems, cloud infra, networking, or node operations), with the ability to engage engineering teams on architecture and design trade-offs.
Hands-on experience with infrastructure tooling such as Kubernetes, containerization, auto-scaling, CI/CD pipelines, or monitoring/observability systems.
Demonstrated success building scalable platforms or infra products that support external operators, contributors, or customers.
Ability to translate complex technical requirements into clear product strategy and priorities.
Experience leading cross-functional projects that span engineering, product, and operations teams.
Strategic foresight to anticipate future scaling challenges and design solutions that balance decentralization, reliability, and performance.

Preferred Requirements:

Deep understanding of infrastructure systems and distributed architectures, ideally with hands-on experience in validators, node operations, or blockchain middleware.
Proven experience working on platform or infra products that required scaling across large complex environments (multi-cloud, multi-region, or multi-chain)
Strong familiarity with auto-scaling solutions such as Kubernetes.
Prior background in DevOps, SRE, or distributed systems engineering.
Experience building infra in mission-critical environments (finance, large-scale distributed systems, or blockchain middleware).
Knowledge of blockchain ecosystems, ideally Chainlink itself.

All roles with Chainlink Labs are global and remote-based. Unless otherwise stated, we ask that you try to overlap some working hours with Eastern Standard Time (EST).
