Product Manager, Digital Assets - Crypto

As a Product Manager for Digital Assets at Alpaca, you own the regulated crypto trading and yield surface, spanning spot and perpetual exchanges, fiat and stablecoin funding rails, staking and lending, and the crypto API that partners build on. You will partner deeply with engineering, compliance, legal, and partnerships to ship regulated crypto infrastructure at scale, while providing early signal on US policy changes rather than reacting after rules formalize.

What you'll do

• Own the spot crypto exchange product surface, including pair coverage, order types, availability across jurisdictions, and the partner-facing experience for trading crypto on Alpaca
• Lead integrations that unlock funding and liquidity with LPs and custodians, owning the stablecoin funding flow including paths for USDC and other regulated, GENIUS-aligned stables
• Work with partners to understand crypto needs for fintechs, neobrokers, and institutional platforms, expanding supported networks and coins while balancing partner demand and custody readiness
• Drive staking and lending or earn product design within regulatory and operational constraints
• Shape a crypto API surface that treats developers and agents as primary customers, including SDKs, reference integrations, and changelog discipline
• Lead and execute the product case for crypto perpetual futures

What you bring

• A 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 exchanges, brokerage, market making, custody, or financial infrastructure
• Demonstrated depth on at least one core crypto product surface at production scale: spot trading or exchange, custody or wallets, fiat or stablecoin funding rails, staking or earn, or derivatives or perpetual futures
• A strong understanding of crypto market structure, including order books, liquidity providers, spreads, slippage, settlement, and how B2B and API-first platforms differ from retail-only exchanges
• Experience shipping in a regulated environment alongside Legal, Compliance, Risk, and Operations teams, and comfort with ambiguity and real-time tradeoffs
• Proven ability to run partner and customer discovery and translate it into a prioritized roadmap, with excellent written and verbal communication across engineering and executive audiences
• Business acumen to weigh ROI, partner demand, regulatory risk, technical feasibility, time, and budget
• An AI-native PM workflow with AI as part of your daily stack to get work done

Nice to have

• Direct experience at a crypto exchange, broker-dealer, custodian, market maker, or institutional crypto infrastructure provider
• Experience building developer-facing crypto APIs used by quants, algorithmic traders, or automated or agentic systems
• Familiarity with staking, lending or earn, perpetual futures, and the operational and regulatory constraints of offering them through a licensed entity
• A background combining regulated financial-product context such as broker-dealer, payments, or custody with crypto-native infrastructure such as wallets, L1/L2, or on-chain settlement

What we offer

• Competitive salary and stock options
• Health benefits
• One-time USD $500 new hire home-office setup
• USD $150 per month stipend via a Brex Card
