Technical Product Manager | Crypto Trading Platform
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
