About The Position

Allium makes blockchain data accurate, simple and fast
Blockchain data is hard, messy, and chaotic
When we started out in late 2021 our thesis was simple - blockchain data, despite it being public and free, was difficult to understand, clunky to access and troublesome to maintain. Answering a simple question like “Who are the biggest Ethereum token holders over time?” requires an engineering team to run their own RPC nodes, ingest the full history of the blockchain, clean the data, transform the data and finally summon a wizard to cast a complex SQL query.
Accessing data is hard because blockchains are optimized for Writes and not Reads
Why is it so hard? Blockchains have historically been optimized for Writes (getting data onto the blockchain) and less for Reads (getting data OUT of the blockchain). This is because optimization efforts were focused on increasing transaction throughput and building fault tolerant and scalable consensus algorithms. This neglect makes it hard to get data out efficiently and reliably at scale.
Parsing and interpreting blockchain data requires both deep domain expertise and data manipulation
To quote Tim Roughgarden, Columbia Professor, “Blockchains are (virtual) computers, not databases.” They are Turing machines that support general computations, and anyone can write and deploy their own smart contract for their own use case. This nearly infinite number of use cases leads to the fragmentation of data schemas for different purposes. Standardizing these schemas requires deep domain expertise to turn esoteric technical outputs into clear information for specific concepts like tokens, NFTs, stablecoins and DEXs.
Allium abstracts the complexity with a simple way to query blockchain data
Allium tames the chaos by ingesting, sanitizing, and standardizing all this data. As of this post, the data we’ve archived across 100+ blockchains is in the petabytes and growing exponentially.
Google and Bloomberg had to organize the world's public financial and webpage data, Allium is on a mission to do the same for blockchain data
This is one of the rare times in history where indexing a giant public dataset is sorely needed by all - similar to what Bloomberg did for financial data and what Google organized for public webpage data. With this indexed data, we are fortunate to support trailblazers in this industry and play some role the industry’s most exciting trends:
About our customers
We serve 2 groups of customers today with the same data but different platform. Analysts who need to answer data questions about the blockchain (think BI) and Engineers who need highly reliable data queryable in near realtime (think Application backends). Our customers include the biggest institutions Visa, Stripe, Grayscale and also the biggest crypto companies such as Phantom, Uniswap. Allium is one of the unique companies in the industry that bridge blockchain and non blockchain worlds.
The Role
We're hiring a Product Manager to help us build and scale the data products that power the next wave of institutional blockchain adoption. You'll work across Allium's full product surface — spanning APIs, data streams, datashares, and rich user experiences — and own the roadmap for how we deliver high-fidelity blockchain data to some of the most demanding clients in finance and fintech.
This is a hands-on, generalist yet technical PM role. You'll be embedded with engineering, working directly in the weeds of data modeling decisions, API design tradeoffs, and enterprise integration requirements. You'll need to understand the shape of our data as well as our customers do — and have enough taste to know when a product surface is genuinely good versus technically functional but painful to use.

Requirements

• 3+ years of product management experience or 2+ years of engineering experience with meaningful time spent on data-intensive products (APIs, data pipelines, analytics platforms, or similar)
• Strong SQL fluency — you can write and review queries, understand indexing and performance tradeoffs, and navigate complex schemas without help
• Working knowledge of API architecture and data delivery patterns: REST, streaming, webhooks, datashares (e.g., Snowflake Data Sharing, BigQuery)
• Genuine familiarity with finance and/or crypto — you understand the domain well enough to quickly grasp what institutional clients actually need and why
• Sharp product taste: you've built for data-dense interfaces before and know the difference between a UI that's technically complete and one that's genuinely usable
• Strong written and verbal communication — you can write a crisp spec, run a focused discovery call, and give a clear product update to leadership

Nice To Haves

• Experience at a data infrastructure, fintech, or blockchain company
• Familiarity with blockchain data concepts: UTXO vs account models, on-chain labeling, transaction tracing, token standards
• Experience supporting enterprise sales cycles — writing positioning docs, joining customer calls, or owning product-level RFP responses
• Comfort with Python for light scripting or data exploration

Responsibilities

• Drive the roadmap and execution for Allium's core data product surfaces: APIs, data streams, datashares, and enterprise dashboards
• Translate complex, data-dense customer requirements from clients like financial institutions, analytics platforms, and compliance teams into clear, scoped product specs
• Work hands-on with data pipelines and schemas — writing SQL, reviewing data models, and QA-ing outputs — to deeply understand what we're shipping
• Design intuitive product experiences for inherently complex datasets, bringing both rigor and taste to dense data interfaces
• Lead customer discovery and feedback sessions to identify gaps, prioritize features, and inform vertical-specific product strategy
• Partner with the GTM team to create clear product narratives and differentiated positioning for enterprise deals
• Drive delivery across a distributed engineering team, managing dependencies and tradeoffs with clarity and low friction

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, Vision, Life and AD&D insurance - US folks get 100% coverage for Gold plans, 80% for dependents
• Ownership - Meaningful early-stage equity. Every full-time employee receives a stock option grant so you can share directly in Allium's upside
• Time off - Flexible, trust-based paid time off. We encourage people to take the rest they need. In every country we hire, our policies meet or exceed local statutory vacation requirements
• Retirement - Company sponsored 401(k) plan in US so you can save pre-tax for the long term
