Alpaca is a US-headquartered, global leader in agent-first brokerage infrastructure serving hundreds of financial institutions across 40 countries. The company provides institutional-grade APIs for stocks, ETFs, options, crypto, fixed income, and 24/5 trading, with over 10 million brokerage accounts across its network. Backed by $400M in funding from top-tier investors including Spark Capital, Tribe Capital, and Y Combinator, Alpaca operates a globally distributed team of 400+ members.
The Product Manager, Crypto role involves owning a core crypto product surface end-to-end across Alpaca's broker-as-a-service platform. You will ship features in one of four areas: crypto trading and exchange flows, custody and wallet infrastructure, tokenized securities and real-world assets (RWA), or on-chain settlement and payment rails. Your primary customers are developers and partners—broker-dealers, fintech apps, neobanks, and institutional clients—integrating Alpaca's crypto APIs.
Key responsibilities include:
**Product Ownership & Execution:** Own your crypto product surface end-to-end, driving decisions by analyzing ROI, partner demand, market structure, regulatory constraints, and build-vs-buy tradeoffs. Write product requirements, partner directly with engineers to ship at high velocity, and contribute to the broader crypto roadmap with focus on B2B and B2B2C surfaces including SDKs, APIs, partner enablement, and reference integrations.
**Partner Engagement & Developer Experience:** Run discovery with current and prospective partners to understand integration constraints and real-world needs. Translate feedback into clear product decisions, including pushing back on requests that don't fit the platform while maintaining trust. Improve developer experience for crypto through API ergonomics, documentation, SDKs, and sandbox parity.
**Compliance & Operations:** Partner with compliance and legal on product decisions touching 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.
You will work closely with engineering, compliance, legal, partnerships, and other product teams to take regulated crypto infrastructure from concept to scale, treating developers and partners as primary customers.
