Sr. Product Manager, Walrus (Distributed Storage)

Role Overview

Senior Product Manager for Walrus, a distributed storage platform at Mysten Labs. You'll own the core data platform and its key product surfaces, including Walrus Sites and ecosystem products. This role sits at the intersection of storage, data delivery, and developer experience, with real ownership and autonomy to guide the product from early adoption to maturity.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and evolve the product strategy and roadmap for Walrus and key surfaces (Walrus Sites, ecosystem products)
• Partner deeply with engineering to improve performance, scalability, reliability, and cost efficiency across storage and data delivery workflows
• Define and ship developer-facing abstractions and experiences (Blob Management primitives, APIs, SDKs, tooling, documentation)
• Collaborate with GTM team to evolve positioning and messaging for the broader ecosystem
• Support internal product teams and external partners adopting Walrus in production
• Incorporate partner, ecosystem, and operator feedback into clear product priorities and tradeoffs

Required Experience

• 5+ years as a Product Manager with ownership of technical platform or infrastructure products used by developers or infrastructure operators
• Proven ability to own ambiguous problems end-to-end: problem framing, discovery, execution, launch, and iteration
• Strong technical fluency and comfort working closely with engineers on APIs, data flows, performance tradeoffs, and system design
• Experience leading multi-quarter initiatives across engineering, design, docs, developer relations, and external partners
• Strong product judgment balancing developer experience, system constraints, scalability, and long-term platform direction
• Clear, concise communication skills translating complex technical systems into goals and narratives

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience shaping or scaling ecosystems (external builders, partners, foundations, community contributors)
• Exposure to content, media, AI, or data monetization use cases (datasets, marketplaces, gated access models)
• Familiarity with security, privacy, or data governance concepts in production systems
• Hands-on or product-level involvement with open-source projects or protocol-driven development environments
