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.

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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
