Full-timeFinance, Information Technology

We're hiring an experienced Technical Product Manager to lead the development of a new institutional trading platform for crypto assets. This is a greenfield build with direct impact - you'll work cross-functionally with engineers, designers, and stakeholders to define, build, and ship a secure, scalable, and high-performance platform.


The team operates in a lean, startup-style environment - fast-paced, flat-structured, and highly collaborative. We're looking for someone who thrives in ambiguity, takes ownership, and can drive delivery while shaping technical direction.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Own the full product lifecycle of the Single Dealer Platform
  • Translate business needs into detailed product requirements and technical specifications
  • Manage engineering roadmaps, sprints, and deliverables using Agile methodologies
  • Collaborate with developers, infrastructure, and security teams to ensure technical feasibility and alignment with best practices
  • Ensure integration with market data feeds and execution systems using FIX protocol
  • Contribute to architectural discussions and design reviews
  • Uphold cybersecurity standards in coordination with security consultants
  • Leverage AWS infrastructure for deploying, monitoring, and scaling platform components
  • Use Python scripts for automation, prototyping, and light data analysis when needed
  • Track KPIs and gather user feedback to iterate and improve product functionality and performance
  • Maintain a focus on system latency, ensuring low-latency execution pathways and minimizing delays across the platform


What You'll Be Building:

  • A greenfield single-dealer platform for institutional counterparties
  • Features include: pricing UI, trade execution, crypto asset deposits, and research tools
  • Currently outsourced - now being built in-house for scale, control, and performance
  • High-volume, low-latency trading environment


Required Qualifications:

  • 5+ years in a technical Product Manager role, ideally in FinTech, crypto, or capital markets
  • Strong technical background - able to engage deeply with engineers on system design and infrastructure
  • Experience with externally facing products (not just internal tools or integrations)
  • Familiarity with cybersecurity principles, identity/access management, and secure APIs
  • Experience with AWS services (e.g., EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, IAM, CloudWatch)
  • Proficiency in Python scripting for basic automation or data parsing tasks
  • Awareness of latency-critical systems and ability to make trade-offs between speed, scalability, and reliability
  • Experience managing full-stack product development with a focus on scalability and performance
  • Excellent communication and documentation skills, especially when bridging technical and business perspectives


Nice to Have:

  • Hands-on experience with the FIX protocol and electronic trading systems
  • Prior experience building trading platforms or single-dealer platforms
  • Working knowledge of networking concepts (firewalls, VPNs, VPCs, subnets, routing)
  • Knowledge of crypto markets, blockchain infrastructure, and DeFi protocols
  • Certifications in AWS or cybersecurity


Why Join?

  • Work at a leading algorithmic trading firm with a strong reputation in the crypto space
  • Accelerated responsibilities and ownership compared to traditional finance environments
  • Vibrant working culture with team meals, gaming events, and company-wide celebrations
  • Central London office with amenities like table tennis, foosball, and personalized desk setups
  • Informal, ambitious, and collaborative startup vibe
  • Performance-based compensation with significant earning potential, plus pension and private health insurance
