Requirements
- •3-6+ years in senior product management, with significant time owning a trading or execution product
- •Deep understanding of derivatives trading — perps, futures, margin, leverage, order types, risk parameters
- •Experience building for professional or semi-professional traders who have high expectations and low tolerance for friction
- •Track record of shipping complex, technically demanding features end-to-end with high quality
- •Ability to write detailed, unambiguous product requirements that engineers can act on without constant clarification
- •Strong opinions on trading UX — you've used the best terminals out there and you know what good looks like
- •Comfortable in the technical weeds — you can read API docs, understand data contracts, and have an informed opinion on architectural tradeoffs
- •Experience working on products with real-time data requirements (streaming prices, live P&L, order state)
- •Familiarity with trading infrastructure concepts — order routing, execution layers, risk engines, position monitoring
- •Senior enough to own a domain with minimal direction — you set the agenda, you don't wait for one
- •Strong written communicator — your PRDs, tickets, and async updates are clear and complete
- •Experience working across multiple engineering teams and navigating cross-functional dependencies
- •Trader empathy — you understand what it feels like to have a position open and need the product to work perfectly
- •Crypto-native or deeply curious — you understand the space, the culture, and why prop trading matters here
What You'll Do
- •Drive the trading experience roadmap within your domain — sequencing, requirements, and delivery
- •Define what best-in-class prop trading UX looks like: fast, intuitive, and built for serious derivatives traders
- •Drive execution on near-term priorities and terminal parity with the best in market
- •Lead the product strategy for agentic and API trading — giving power users programmatic access to prop capital
- •Partner with Kraken Pro engineering to build a trading experience that feels native to the crypto ecosystem while serving the specific needs of prop traders
- •Work closely with the risk team to translate execution nuance into product requirements — understanding A-book vs B-book mechanics, drawdown rules, and how they shape UX
- •Set the bar for what "done" means on trading features — requirements, edge cases, acceptance criteria, and post-ship iteration
Nice to Have
- •Experience with agentic workflows, algorithmic trading, or API-first product design
