Helius Senior Product Manager at Helius owning product across the entire data platform including real-time streaming, APIs, and developer tooling. Engage deeply with customers and engineering to drive product decisions.
Responsibilities
This is a senior product role at Helius - you'll own product across our entire data platform: real-time streaming (LaserStream), historical and archival data, RPC infrastructure, APIs, webhooks, and developer tooling. Our customers are engineers at trading firms, wallets, and data platforms, and the product decisions that matter to them are latency budgets, delivery guarantees, and API ergonomics.
Our best engineers make product decisions, and we expect our PM to return the favor. You should write enough code to use our products the way customers do - prototype an idea, reproduce a bug, contribute when it's the fastest path to shipping. You won't ship production systems, but you should never need someone to show you what our APIs feel like to build against.
The engineering problems are hard: throughput, fan-out, ordering, historical replay. The product problems are harder to see: which guarantees to promise, what a firehose should cost, how to make a powerful primitive easy to adopt. Your job is making the platform cohere - one roadmap, one pricing logic, one developer experience.
You'll be embedded with engineering, in the room on enterprise deals, and constantly in front of customers. This product has real traction and real revenue. You're not building from zero - you're deciding where it goes next.
Own the product roadmap across the Helius developer platform, balancing customer requests, infrastructure investments, and new product bets
Spend real time with customers - trading firms, wallets, indexers - understanding their architectures, latency budgets, and where our products fit or fall short
Use our products hands-on and make code contributions where they're the fastest path: prototypes, example integrations, reproducing customer issues, and improving developer-facing tooling
Track the competitive landscape closely (streaming providers, data API vendors) and translate it into positioning, pricing, and build/kill decisions
Define product guarantees: delivery semantics, ordering, SLAs, and the trade-offs we're willing to make between performance, cost, and simplicity
Write specs and decision memos that give staff-level engineers clear context without prescribing implementation
Own pricing and packaging across the platform, including enterprise deals and usage-based models
Drive launches end-to-end: positioning, documentation, migration guides, changelogs, and developer communication - including sensitive comms like pricing changes, billing corrections, and migration notices
Qualification
Prior experience as a software engineerExperience as an earlyHigh-impact workSerious engineeringOwnership & growthRemote-first flexibility
Preferred
Prior experience as a software engineer, or a history of shipping meaningful code contributions as a PM
Direct experience with real-time market data, event streaming (Kafka, gRPC streaming, WebSockets at scale), or exchange/trading infrastructure
Solana-specific experience - you've built on Solana or worked deeply with its data model, RPC layer, or ecosystem
Experience as an early, founding, or lead PM at an infrastructure or devtools company
High-impact work: Your code will power applications used by millions across the Solana ecosystem, including Coinbase, Jupiter, and Phantom.
Serious engineering: Build fast, reliable systems and user experiences across distributed infra, high-throughput backends, and modern frontend stacks.
Ownership & growth: Lead critical initiatives, influence architecture and product direction, and take on more responsibility as the company scales.
Remote-first flexibility: Work where you’re most effective with a flexible, fully distributed team.
