Responsibilities
• Alpaca's product team is looking for a Product Manager to own Alpaca's regulated crypto trading and yield surface: spot or perps exchange, fiat and stablecoin funding rails, staking / lending and the crypto API that partners build on. • You will partner deeply with engineering, compliance, legal, partnerships, and the broader Alpaca product team to ship regulated crypto infrastructure at scale. You will help shape and grow the crypto product itself, and you will be expected to provide early signal on US policy changes rather than react after rules formalize. • Things You Get To Do: • Own the spot crypto exchange product surface - pair coverage, order types, availability in various jurisdictions and the partner facing experience for trading crypto on Alpaca. • Lead integrations that unlock funding and liquidity with LPs and custodians. Own 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. Expand supported networks and coins that balances partner demand and custody readiness. • Drive staking and lending / earn product design within regulatory and ops constraints. • Shape a crypto API surface that treats developers and agents as primary customers: SDKs, reference integrations, changelog discipline. • Lead and execute the product case for crypto perps.
