[Hiring] Senior Technical Product Manager @Alpaca

Role Description

Build Alpaca's internal infrastructure and developer platform as a product. You own the product definition and platform maturity strategy, the intake, the backlog, and the multi-quarter roadmap for Platform & Infrastructure, and you put the rails in place so DevOps, Platform, and Infrastructure teams, and the customers know what to prioritize next. Partnering directly with the VP of Engineering.

Alpaca is building infrastructure for programmable finance at global scale: new countries, global markets, products that must stay centralized, and products that must be deployable in any region. This seat exists so that work has a product owner — platform maturity, CI/CD, cost efficiency and attribution, and the infrastructure dependencies that product engineering keeps discovering too late.

Things You Get To Do

• Own infrastructure as a product.
• Define and evolve a platform maturity model in the open.
• Build the rails for monthly delivery.
• Drive platform maturity until maintenance windows disappear.
• Make the cost a first-class product surface.
• Raise CI/CD and developer-platform adoption.
• Make infrastructure portable for global scale.

Qualifications

• 7+ years as a TPM, product manager technical, or equivalent, with a substantial portion of that time owning infrastructure, platform or developer experience.
• You have owned a multi-team backlog, intake, and roadmap, and you have run a planning cadence that teams actually use.
• You are technically fluent to be an equal partner to senior/staff engineers on compute infra, deployment pipelines (CI/CD), data stores, networking, and cost drivers.
• You get things done without a reporting line. You have influenced platform adoption across many teams.
• You write and operate with crisp scope.
• You have worked in a market-hours-sensitive or regulated production environment.
• You use AI and automation to remove program toil rather than add tooling.

Requirements

• You have stood up a platform-maturity model, paved-path program, or internal developer platform.
• You have eliminated or dramatically reduced maintenance windows or change-freeze culture in a production org.
• Multi-region or multi-entity infrastructure: packaging a platform so a new region or booking center can be stood up without a hero project.
• Capital markets, brokerage, or other FinTech infrastructure.

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
