o1Labs - Senior Technical Product Manager

About the Role

If landing the first design partners and shaping the product around what institutions need is appealing to you, then this is a role for you.

You own the product rigor and quality of the custody product, and — because we're pre-commitment — you're hands-on in landing and learning from the first institutional design partners and you make sure every idea is pressure-tested against evidence, specified well, and either advanced or killed cleanly.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead design-partner discovery and validation with a small set of institutional custodians, help land the first relationships, and turn what they actually need into product direction.
• Own the bar for evidence: every feature or direction is gated against defined proof-of-concept exit criteria.
• Translate complex systems concepts into precise product specifications that engineers can build against without a second translation layer.
• Pressure-test competitive and threat-model claims (e.g. how our enforcement-and-evidence story actually differs from incumbents).
• Maintain the roadmap and manage cross-functional dependencies, timelines, and sequencing as the product takes shape.
