About Us

Open Data Labs (ODL) is building the future of personalized AI by giving people ownership over their data. As a fast-moving Web3 and AI organization, we're redefining how data is stored, governed, and used—empowering individuals to control their digital footprint and participate in the value it generates.

We’re creating tools that let users safely store, manage, and share their data, build deeply personalized AI experiences, and contribute to a decentralized ecosystem of innovation. From developers building with our APIs to everyday users creating their digital selves, ODL is for everyone.

As part of our product team, you’ll help shape a platform where data is private, compute is decentralized, and innovation is user-led. We're not just imagining a better AI future - we're building it.

What You’ll Do

  • Own product development end-to-end: define product requirements, prioritize roadmaps, and guide products from concept to launch.

  • Act as a bridge between internal teams (engineering, marketing, ecosystem) and external stakeholders (users, ecosystem builders, token holders).

  • Work closely with the executive leadership team on strategy, translating it into actionable items for the build team.

  • Maintain tight feedback loops with early users, builders, and protocol contributors

  • Work across multiple surfaces—protocol-level changes, internal dashboards, community tools, or dev onboarding flows—as priorities evolve

  • Contribute to product thinking around how our tools support a tokenized ecosystem and empower its participants

Minimum requirements

  • 3+ years of experience as a Product Manager in fast-paced startup environments

  • Exceptional communication and alignment skills across teams with varying levels of seniority, technical background, and cultural context; able to tailor messaging and build trust across functions and geographies

  • Experience owning user research projects to inform product and design decisions

  • Experience with Google Analytics or similar tooling

  • Familiarity with web3 technologies and communities

  • Proactive egoless communicator - success to you is not defined as “being right”

  • Excellent product sense with attention to both user experience and technical tradeoffs

Preferred qualifications:

  • Direct Web3 startup experience

  • Experience working directly for/with founders

  • Deep understanding of user research theory (including grounded theory)

  • SQL / GraphQL / Python skills
