Description

We are looking for a visionary and technically adept Senior Project Manager with hands-on expertise in blockchain technology to lead mission-critical software development projects, primarily in e-governance domains such as land records, digital health, and agri-tech. You will drive the implementation of decentralized solutions that ensure transparency, integrity, and trust in public sector systems.

Core Responsibilities

Project Planning & Blockchain Integration

1. Architect and manage blockchain-backed solutions using Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, or other permissioned/permissionless blockchains.
2. Define project scope, deliverables, and timelines with blockchain-specific modules (e.g., smart contracts, consensus, digital identity, on-chain/off-chain data).
3. Align decentralized application (dApp) development with strategic objectives of government and public service platforms.

Technical Leadership

1. Guide teams of blockchain developers, cryptographers, frontend/backend engineers, and QA testers.
2. Oversee the lifecycle of blockchain implementation: from PoC and pilots to production deployment and monitoring.
3. Conduct code reviews for Solidity/Chaincode and validate security and compliance with smart contract standards.

Client & Stakeholder Engagement

1. Bridge the gap between tech and policy—translate blockchain solutions to non-technical government stakeholders.
2. Lead workshops and requirement-gathering sessions focusing on real-world public infrastructure digitization.

Risk & Governance

1. Proactively manage risks around scalability, privacy (e.g., ZKPs, DID), and network performance.
2. Monitor evolving compliance landscapes, including blockchain data sovereignty and legal enforceability of smart contracts.

Quality Assurance & UAT

1. Drive auditability and traceability of blockchain transactions.
2. Lead the integration of blockchain with traditional systems (APIs, databases, identity providers).

Required Qualifications

1. Bachelor’s or master’s in computer science, Blockchain Engineering, or related technical field.
2. Minimum 5 years of experience in project management, with at least 2 years dedicated to blockchain-based solutions.
3. Proven delivery of blockchain projects in land registry, supply chain, identity, or public sector applications.
4. Proficiency in smart contract development (Solidity, Rust, Chaincode) and frameworks like Truffle, Hardhat, or Remix.
5. Knowledge of decentralized identity (DID), Verifiable Credentials, and token standards (ERC-20, ERC-721, ERC-1155).
6. Solid experience with Agile/Scrum, including running sprints, retrospectives, and planning sessions.

Desirable Add-ons

1. Certification in Blockchain Project Management, PMP, Scrum Master, or equivalent.
2. Exposure to Layer 2 solutions, sidechains, or cross-chain interoperability tools (e.g., Chainlink, Polygon, Cosmos).
3. Familiarity with Zero-Knowledge Proofs, confidential computing, and blockchain security audits.

Travel

1. Willingness to travel across India for stakeholder coordination, workshops, and pilot deployments.

To Apply: Submit your cover letter highlighting blockchain project experience, a detailed resume, and a recent photograph.
