Technical Product Manager (Remote Possible)

**About Keyrock** Since our beginnings in 2017, we've grown to be a leading change-maker in the digital asset space, renowned for our partnerships and innovation. Today, we partner with over 180 team members around the world. Our diverse team hails from 42 nationalities, with backgrounds ranging from self-taught DeFi natives to PhDs.

We are trading on more than 80 exchanges, and working with a wide array of asset issuers. As a well-established market maker, our distinctive expertise led us to expand rapidly. Today, our services span market making, options trading, high-frequency trading, OTC, and DeFi trading desks. But we’re more than a service provider. We’re an initiator.

We upgrade ecosystems by injecting liquidity into promising DeFi, RWA, and NFT protocols. And we push the industry's progress with our research and governance initiatives. At Keyrock, we’re not just envisioning the future of digital assets. We’re actively building it. **Mission statement** We are seeking a highly technical, hands-on Technical Product Manager to join our team and act as the **internal**, central hub for core services and automation that support trading business units at Keyrock. This is a role for a builder at heart—someone who can not only identify opportunities but also rapidly prototype solutions. You will be pivotal in assessing technical solutions (buy vs build), connecting APIs, building proofs of concept, and driving the integration of cutting-edge technology to solve critical business challenges. Working in close coordination with the VP of Product, and in support of the COO office and VP of Engineering, you will bridge the gap between idea and implementation with a focus on the non-trading teams of Keyrock. Your primary responsibility is to assess outcomes and value (prioritisation) and translate complex needs into tangible, working prototypes, demonstrating value and technical feasibility firsthand, in alignment with the VP Engineering and software development practices at Keyrock. A strong background in software development is therefore essential for this role. You will support critical visibility and communication at the centre of Keyrock, paving the way for our engineering teams to build and scale the proven solutions you have discovered and proven. Keyrock Product Managers are responsible for developing valuable and viable systems (& implicit services) that consider the voices of: - Business & Commercial teams, - Trading & Research teams, - And Engineering builders. In this way, a level of ‘trilingual’ competency is required for the role. ## Responsibilities - **Strategy, Roadmap, & Technical alignment**: You will turn the goals of central technology teams into a clear roadmap. You’ll run regular meetings with these teams, together with leaders from product, engineering, and architecture to find problems early, understand how projects depend on each other, and spot chances to improve how we work together. - **Technology Assessment & Prioritisation**: You will help us make smart technology choices. You’ll figure out what our teams need, decide whether it’s better to build our own solution or buy one, and use clear data to balance what’s valuable for the business against how hard it is to build. - **Technical Solution discovery, design & prototyping**: You will quickly build working models to test out new ideas. You’ll be hands-on, creating functional prototypes to see if a concept is worth pursuing before we invest heavily in it. - **Stakeholder Communication & Central Operations**: You will be the initial product & tech contact for our business operations and back-office teams. You’ll explain our technology plans in simple terms to everyone, ensuring we’re all on the same page, and help our central Platform team explore new product ideas. - **Engineering Collaboration & Systems Integration**: When needed, you will design and build the first versions of new solutions to see how they fit into our existing systems, following guidance from our senior engineering and product leaders. You’ll set a clear example for how to move from a defined idea to a developed, performant, secure, product, for other teams to follow. - **Technical Research & Experimentation**: You will actively test new and emerging technologies to see if they’re actually useful for us. When our tech leaders have an idea, you’ll go beyond basic research by getting your hands dirty, setting up new tools, and finding out their real-world value for Keyrock. - **Reporting Performance & Impact Measurement**: You will measure the success of our new ideas and products. You’ll create simple metrics to track their impact. ## Requirements - Highly technical, hands-on Technical Product Manager. - Strong background in software development is essential. - Ability to act as the internal central hub for core services and automation supporting trading business units. - Builder at heart: ability to identify opportunities and rapidly prototype solutions. - Experience in assessing technical solutions (buy vs build). - Experience connecting APIs and building proofs of concept. - Ability to drive the integration of cutting-edge technology to solve critical business challenges. - Ability to work in close coordination with VP of Product, COO office, and VP of Engineering. - Ability to bridge the gap between idea and implementation. - Ability to assess outcomes and value (prioritisation). - Ability to translate complex needs into tangible, working prototypes. - Ability to demonstrate value and technical feasibility firsthand. - Alignment with VP Engineering and software development practices. - Ability to support critical visibility and communication at the centre of Keyrock. - Ability to pave the way for engineering teams to build and scale proven solutions. - ‘Trilingual’ competency: ability to consider voices of Business & Commercial teams, Trading & Research teams, and Engineering builders. ## Nice to Have - Experience in the digital asset space. - Familiarity with Rust Development language. - Experience with DeFi, RWA, and NFT protocols. ## Benefits - Predominantly remote work with hubs in London, Brussels, and Singapore. - Regular online and offline hangouts. - Opportunity to work with a diverse team from 42 nationalities. - Involvement in pioneering initiatives in algorithmic trading and Web3.
