> Owns core crypto product surface (trading, custody, wallets, tokenization, or on-chain settlement) for B2B broker-as-a-service platform. Drives roadmap, partners with eng/compliance, ships features for developers/institutions. Requires 5+ years PM/eng experience and crypto depth.

## Job Description

## Responsibilities

### Product Ownership & Execution
- Own one core crypto product surface end-to-end: trading and exchange flows, custody and wallet infrastructure, tokenized securities and RWA, or on-chain settlement and payment rails.
- Drive product decisions in your area by analyzing ROI, partner demand, market structure, regulatory constraints, and build-vs-buy tradeoffs.
- Contribute to the broader crypto roadmap with a focus on B2B and B2B2C surfaces — SDKs, APIs, partner enablement, and reference integrations.
- Write product requirements and partner directly with engineers to ship to production at the cadence of a high-growth platform.

### Partner Engagement & Developer Experience
- Run discovery with current and prospective partners — broker-dealers, fintech apps, neobanks, and institutional clients — integrating Alpaca's crypto APIs.
- Translate partner feedback into clear product decisions, including pushing back on requests that do not fit the platform without over-promising or losing partner trust.
- Improve the developer experience for crypto: API ergonomics, documentation, SDKs, and sandbox parity with production.

### Compliance & Operations
- Partner with compliance and legal on product decisions that touch licensing, custody, KYC/AML, market structure, and tokenization frameworks.
- Improve operational efficiency in your surface — reconciliation between on-chain and ledger state, settlement workflows, exception handling — and own the metrics.
- Report timely and accurately on product status and results to internal and external stakeholders, including partners and institutional clients.

## Requirements (Must Haves)
- Excited about what Alpaca is building and passionate about expanding crypto infrastructure for partners building real financial products.
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, finance, or equivalent.
- 5+ years of experience in Product Management, Engineering, and/or starting a startup, preferably within crypto, brokerage, exchanges, or financial infrastructure.
- Demonstrated depth on at least one core crypto product surface: exchange / trading, custody / wallets, tokenization, or on-chain settlement. Ideally shipped at production scale.
- Experience building and shipping B2B and developer-facing products: SDKs, APIs, partner integrations. Where developers and partners are the primary customer, not just end users.
- Strong written and verbal communication, with excellent collaboration across engineering, compliance, partnerships, and other product teams.
- Business acumen to understand tradeoffs between stakeholders and technology feasibility with time and budget constraints.
- AI-native PM workflow: recurring use of tools like Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, NotebookLM, or custom agents in PRD drafting, customer-call synthesis, data exploration, and prototyping.

## Nice-to-Haves
- Background that combines regulated financial product context (broker-dealer, exchange, payments, custodian) with crypto-native infrastructure (wallets, L1/L2, ZK, on-chain settlement).
- Direct experience at a crypto exchange, custodian, or institutional crypto infrastructure provider.
- Experience with tokenized securities, RWA, stablecoin payment rails, or institutional digital asset products.
- Familiarity with the US and global crypto regulatory landscape — FinCEN, NY DFS BitLicense, SEC frameworks, and equivalent global regimes.
- Experience operating at startup speed inside a regulated environment, making assumptions in real time without waiting for stakeholder alignment.

## Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive Salary & Stock Options
- Health Benefits
- New Hire Home-Office Setup: One-time USD $500
- Monthly Stipend: USD $150 per month via a Brex Card
