THE 4 BIGGEST BLOCKCHAIN STRENGTHS ARE ALSO ITS WEAKNESS

• Permissionless nature leads to fragmentation of meaning

• Decentralization leads to too many standards https://xkcd.com/927/

• Immutability leads to exponential data + query infrastructure complexity

• Neutrality means that no one is accountable for interpretations

Blockchain data is public. It is not usable at institutional scale. Despite being open, blockchain data is fragmented, hard to interpret, and painful to maintain. Even a simple question like “Who are the largest Ethereum token holders over time?” can require running nodes, ingesting full chain history, decoding contracts, cleaning edge cases, and writing complex SQL.

BLOCKCHAINS ARE OPTIMIZED FOR WRITES, NOT READS.

They are built for consensus and execution, not searchability, standardization, or financial interpretation. Blockchains are computers, not databases https://x.com/Tim_Roughgarden/status/1512847113599729668. Every protocol defines its own schema. The same economic action can be encoded in dozens of different ways. The result:

• Fragmented standards

• Exponential complexity

• No accountability for interpretation

• Events without economic meaning

Finance cannot operate on that, it needs an effective system of record.

ALLIUM IS BUILDING THE SYSTEM OF RECORD FOR ONCHAIN FINANCE

Allium ingests, verifies, and standardizes data across 140+ blockchains and 30+ petabytes of history. We close four structural gaps that prevent blockchains from becoming systems of record:

• Semantic Gap: Translating raw events into financial concepts like payments, trades, deposits, and staking income

• Standardization Gap: Mapping thousands of protocols into a single canonical cross chain schema

• Infrastructure Gap: Read optimized, globally distributed data at web scale

• Accountability Gap: Auditable methodology, SLAs, and SOC 1 and 2 compliance

The result is a neutral, canonical data layer institutions can build on with confidence.

FINANCE IS MOVING ONCHAIN

Stablecoins, tokenized assets, trading, staking, and lending are growing rapidly. Institutions need a trusted source of truth for onchain financial activity, just as they rely on Bloomberg or DTCC in traditional markets. Raw blockchains cannot serve that role.

As AI agents begin transacting autonomously https://x.com/AlliumLabs/status/2019810793324482901?s=20, the requirement becomes even stricter. Agents cannot reason over raw event logs. They need structured data, attribution, condition checks, and auditability.

Allium is the read layer that makes onchain finance usable for humans and machines.

WHO WE SERVE

Allium powers three core personas with the same canonical data foundation:

and of course.. agents 🦞. Our customers and users include Visa, Stripe, G-SIB Banks, Big 4 Accounting firms, BCG, Coinbase, Phantom, Uniswap and cited by the Federal Reserve.

THE ROLE: BE THE PM FOR THE SYSTEM OF RECORD FOR ONCHAIN FINANCE.

Do you want to work at the intersection of autonomous finance and finance moving onchain? Do you believe systems of record define entire industries? Do you understand why blockchains, as powerful as they are, are not effective systems of record on their own?

Allium exists because reading blockchains at institutional scale is fundamentally hard. Blockchains record events. Finance requires meaning, standardization, auditability, and performance. That gap is where we operate.

At Allium, you’ll help define:

• How institutions interpret stablecoin supply and flows

• How asset managers calculate staking income and P&L

• How wallets power real-time balances across chains

• How regulators validate onchain disclosures

• How AI agents will reason about financial state before executing capital

At Allium, you won’t be optimizing button colors. You’ll be defining how Visa understands stablecoins, how Institution XYZ calculates staking revenue, how wallets show real-time balances, and how regulators verify onchain disclosures.

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 understand the shape of our data as well as our customers do, and have enough taste (we love food) to know when a product surface is genuinely good versus technically functional but painful to use.

We are looking for someone special. High agency (with agents). Slightly obsessed. Comfortable with ambiguity. Energized by defining new standards where none exist.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Drive the roadmap and execution for Allium's core data product surfaces: APIs, data streams, data shares, 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

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

• 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 Have
