The role of a Product Manager at Nethermind
What we’re building
Nethermind is building an AI-driven security product line used by protocol teams and enterprise customers operating in highly regulated environments.
AuditAgent: AI-assisted smart contract vulnerability detection and insight generation for pre-audits and security workflows.
AgentArena: a platform where multiple independent audit agents can run in parallel, with an arbiter/triage layer to deduplicate findings and score severity fairly.
These products are designed to meet enterprise-grade expectations around security, reliability, auditability, and trust.
This role owns product strategy and execution for these products and the next wave of features/products in the same direction (e.g., CI integrations, remediation workflows, benchmarks/evals, agent marketplace mechanics, enterprise offerings).
What we need
A proactive, hands-on Product Manager who can lead AI + security + developer platform products end-to-end: from discovery → roadmap → shipping → adoption → iteration.
This role is well suited for PMs coming from cybersecurity or enterprise SaaS backgrounds who want to work on next-generation AI security products.
You’ll work closely with:
- External users: protocol teams, security leads, CTOs, developers, and enterprise security stakeholders.
- Security researchers/auditors, AI/agent engineers, and platform engineers
- BD/partnerships, marketing, and ops
Role & Responsibilities
1) Own vision, roadmap, and outcomes
- Own the mission and long-term vision for AuditAgent and AgentArena.
- Create and maintain a prioritized roadmap balancing user value, model/agent quality, and engineering constraints.
- Define and track product success metrics (see “Success looks like…”).
2) Product discovery & positioning (users + market)
- Build deep understanding of user needs by interviewing:
- Protocol teams shipping to mainnet
- Audit customers and Nethermind Security auditors
- Agent builders/security researchers
- Clarify product positioning: “pre-audit copilot” (AuditAgent) vs “multi-agent auditing platform” (AgentArena).
3) Ship features that increase trust + utility in security workflows
For AuditAgent:
- Improve the developer workflow for vulnerability detection + findings quality (clarity, repro guidance, attack scenarios, etc.).
- Drive integrations (CI/CD, repo scanning, reporting formats) and “fix-verify-rerun” loops.
For AgentArena:
- Own the product mechanics for multi-agent parallel audits and fair evaluation (including arbiter/triage workflows).
- Build the “two-sided platform” experience: agent builders (supply) + protocols (demand).
- Partner with engineering to evolve scoring/severity, deduplication, and dispute handling.
4) Create the evaluation + data flywheel
- Define benchmarks/evals for vulnerability detection quality (precision/recall proxies, severity accuracy, duplicate rates, time-to-signal).
- Set up feedback loops from real audits and user outcomes into product improvements (without compromising confidentiality).
5) Monetization and go-to-market
- Define packaging and pricing (self-serve, team, enterprise; usage-based credits; platform fees; bounties/reward splits).
- Drive GTM with the BD team: how these tools complement audits and expand customer funnel.
6) Execution excellence
- Write clear product requirements and coordinate delivery with engineering.
- Run weekly execution cadence (milestones, risks, tradeoffs).
- Maintain a high bar on security, privacy, reliability, and audit readiness required by large organizations.
- Success looks like (example KPIs)
- Pick a small set and own them:
- Revenue growth: new MRR/ARR and conversion to paid
- Retention & expansion: NRR/GRR, seat/usage expansion, enterprise renewals
- Time-to-value: time to first scan → first actionable finding → verified fix
- Adoption at scale: weekly active teams/repos, CI integration rate, cohort retention
- Unit economics: compute cost per $ revenue (gross margin) and support cost per account
- Trust as a growth lever: accepted/validated finding rate and low false positives (quality that drives renewals)
- (AgentArena) Platform health: paid demand + active competitive agents, fast time-to-results, low dispute rate
Requirements
- 3+ years in Product Management shipping developer-facing or enterprise security software (B2B SaaS).
- Familiarity with Ethereum smart contracts and security mindset (Solidity, common vuln classes, audit process).
- Experience working with large organizations (enterprises, financial institutions, or highly regulated industries).
- Ability to work cross-functionally with researchers/engineers and translate ambiguity into shipped product
- Strong written communication (PRDs, specs, launch notes)
- Comfort with AI/agent products: evaluation thinking, prompt/agent iteration cycles, quality measurement
Nice to have
- Hands-on experience with smart contract auditing tools/workflows
- Familiarity with multi-agent systems, LLM evals, or building marketplaces/two-sided platforms
- Experience with enterprise procurement cycles, security reviews, and multi-stakeholder buying processes is a strong plus.
- Experience with security triage/severity frameworks and report standardization
Working model
- Remote-first, globally distributed team.
