The Nomic Foundation is a non-profit advancing the Ethereum ecosystem. We build open-source runtimes, compilers, build systems,
and deployment solutions that are used by tens of thousands of developers. We emphasize robust engineering and lean processes,
allowing for quick decision-making and distraction-free software development. You have the opportunity to shape the future of the
Ethereum ecosystem through deep technical work on critical developer infrastructure, where your specific contributions will have a
tangible impact.
This role will work closely with two teams on closely related products: Hardhat and EDR, which together power the core of our
Ethereum developer tooling stack.
The Hardhat team builds our established and market-leading products. These are user-facing infrastructure that developers use to
write, test, compile, and deploy their Solidity contracts for Ethereum networks. The Hardhat suite of products is widely used in
the ecosystem, and supports developers end to end, from early experimentation to production systems with billions in on-chain
capital at stake.
The EDR (Ethereum Development Runtime) team builds a high-performance runtime in Rust for developer tooling. EDR currently powers
Hardhat’s local network simulation for development and testing and is designed to be reused by other tools, supporting more
consistent and maintainable execution across the Ethereum developer ecosystem.
This is a fully remote role, open to candidates based in Central Europe through the Americas Eastern Time zone.
We are looking for a Senior Technical Product Manager to own and drive the Hardhat and EDR product roadmaps in alignment with
Nomic’s long-term vision. Both products are developer-facing and highly complex technically. Their product surface is primarily a
collection of APIs and CLI tools.
This is a senior individual contributor role working closely with engineering teams and ecosystem partners to define, prioritise,
and deliver features that power Ethereum developer workflows and core infrastructure.
