Technical product manager in blockchain

Bitpanda serves millions of investors across Europe, and we're bringing regulated finance onchain with Vision Chain, our own OP Stack L2 blockchain. We are building the premier ecosystem for European financial institutions to issue and distribute euro-denominated tokenized assets. We're hiring a Lead Technical Product Manager to own Vision Chain as a product: the foundation that Bitpanda's onchain products run on.

• Own Vision Chain at the infrastructure level, managing configuration choices (fee mechanism, block building logic, etc.), and modifications to the OP Stack, in collaboration with the OP Labs team.
• Manage infrastructure partnerships, owning the technical relationship with providers (RPC nodes, indexing, oracles, etc.).
• Collaborate with Compliance and Legal to implement regulatorily-compliant onchain transaction screening, identity, and privacy solutions.
• Run reliability, incidents and cost, and own developer documentation and partner technical onboarding until a developer relations lead joins.
• Coordinate with the other Vision Web3 product leads to ensure the chain’s technical roadmap supports the product roadmap being built on top of it.

• 6+ years of product or engineering experience, with 3+ years focused on blockchain infrastructure (e.g., L1/L2, rollup-as-a-service, node infrastructure provider, account abstraction, or an exchange protocol team).
• Deep understanding of EVM rollup mechanics, including sequencing, fees, proofs, withdrawals, bridges, upgrade keys, and account abstraction.
• Proven ability to translate complex business and regulatory needs into precise technical requirements and drive them to delivery through engineering teams and external partners without direct management.
• Experience partnering with Compliance, Legal, and Data Protection teams, possessing working knowledge of the EU crypto regulatory landscape (MiCA, DORA, AML/CFT, sanctions screening).
• Exceptional written and spoken English communication skills for internal teams, leadership, and external partners.

• Enjoy the freedom of our Hybrid working model, combining onsite collaboration and remote work, with an additional 25 days per year to work from a city or country of your choice.
• Receive a competitive total compensation package aligned with Bitpanda’s pay-for-impact policy, including participation in our stock option plan.
• Access confidential coaching, counselling, and mental health resources whenever you need them through OpenUP.
• On top of your standard annual leave, prioritise your wellbeing in 2027 with 3 additional days of paid time off to rest, reset, and recharge, available once you’ve been with us for 6 months.
• Grow your skills and stay ahead in your career with unlimited access to Udemy’s library of online courses at your own pace.
• Enjoy discounts, rewards, and perks from partners worldwide across lifestyle, wellness, tech, and travel.
• Take advantage of up to 8 additional weeks of gender-neutral new parent leave to welcome and bond with your new addition to the family.
• Pandas in Vienna, Bucharest, Barcelona, and Berlin can enjoy free onsite dining, with freshly prepared lunches and snacks to keep you fueled and focused all day long.
• Celebrate milestones and achievements with recognition and rewards for your Tenure at Bitpanda.
• Access exclusive Bitpanda-branded merchandise and gear to represent.
• Join unforgettable company events, from our Winter Party in Vienna to gatherings worldwide, fostering fun, connection, and celebration
• …and even more location-specific benefits designed to make life at Bitpanda even more rewarding wherever you are.
• Above all, you will have the opportunity to learn and grow as part of Bitpanda’s incredible journey towards being Europe’s future #1 investment platform.
