Overview

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
Details
  • Seniority level: Not Applicable
  • Employment type: Full-time
  • Job function: Finance and Information Technology
  • Industries: Capital Markets, Financial Services, and Investment Management

Where to Advertise Blockchain Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise blockchain jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach Web3, smart contract and protocol engineers. The candidate pool is global in outlook but concentrated in specific communities — protocol engineers, smart contract developers, DeFi specialists and Web3 product leaders who move between roles through networks and community channels as much as traditional job boards. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that blockchain professionals expect. Specialist platforms, crypto-native communities and targeted outreach each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by BlockchainJobs.uk, covers where to advertise blockchain roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Blockchain Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Blockchain Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the Web3, DeFi and tokenisation hiring trends shaping UK blockchain careers over the next three years. Blockchain is creating jobs in places nobody predicted three years ago. What began as infrastructure for cryptocurrency is now embedded in financial services, supply chain management, digital identity, healthcare records, and the emerging architecture of tokenised assets. The roles being hired for today bear little resemblance to the developer-heavy, crypto-native job adverts that defined the sector's early years. For job seekers, this is both the complexity and the opportunity of building a blockchain career in 2026. The sector has matured beyond its speculative phase and into serious institutional adoption — and that shift has fundamentally changed what employers are looking for, where the jobs are, and which skills command a premium. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years aren't necessarily those who got in earliest or who can recite the Bitcoin whitepaper from memory. They're the ones who understand where enterprise blockchain, decentralised finance, digital assets regulation, and Web3 infrastructure are heading — and who are building their skills accordingly. This article breaks down what the UK blockchain jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the next wave rather than behind it.
