About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Product Manager to lead the development of our NODE platform, enabling seamless crypto trading experiences for institutional clients. This is a hands-on, cross-functional role that will have direct impact. You will work closely with engineers, designers, core developers, and stakeholders across the business to define, build, and ship a secure, scalable, and high-performance trading platform.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the product lifecycle of our Single Dealer Platform.
• Translate business needs into detailed product requirements and technical specifications.

• Collaborate with developers, infrastructure, and security teams to ensure technical feasibility and alignment with best practices.
• Ensure integration with market data feeds and execution systems using FIX protocol.
• Contribute to architectural discussions and design reviews.
• Uphold cybersecurity standards in coordination with security consultants.
• Leverage AWS infrastructure for deploying, monitoring, and scaling platform components.
• Use Python scripts for automation, prototyping, and light data analysis when needed.
• Track KPIs and gather user feedback to iterate and improve product functionality and performance.
• Maintain a focus on system latency, ensuring low-latency execution pathways and minimizing delays across the platform.

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in a technical Product Manager role, ideally in fintech, crypto, or capital markets.
• Strong technical background — able to engage deeply with engineers on system design and infrastructure.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity principles, identity/access management, and secure APIs.
• Experience with AWS services (e.g., EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, IAM, CloudWatch).
• Proficiency in Python scripting for basic automation or data parsing tasks.
• Awareness of latency-critical systems and the ability to make trade-offs between speed, scalability, and reliability.
• Experience managing full-stack product development with a focus on scalability and performance.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills, especially when bridging technical and business perspectives.

Nice to have:

• Solid understanding and hands-on experience with the FIX protocol and electronic trading systems.
• Prior experience in building trading platforms or single dealer platforms.
• Working knowledge of public and private networking concepts, including firewalls, VPNs, VPCs, subnets, and routing in cloud and hybrid environments.
• Knowledge of crypto markets, blockchain infrastructure, and DeFi protocols.
• Certifications in AWS or cybersecurity are a plus.

Join our dynamic team and benefit from:

• Working at one of the most innovative trading firms globally.
• Engaging projects offering accelerated responsibilities and ownership compared to traditional finance environments.
• A vibrant working culture with frequent team meals, holiday celebrations, gaming events, and company-wide outings, including our annual Wintermute weekend getaway.
• A Wintermute-inspired office in central London, featuring an array of amenities such as table tennis and foosball, personalized desk configurations, a cozy team breakout area with games and free food.
• Great company culture: informal, non-hierarchical, ambitious, highly professional with a startup vibe, collaborative and entrepreneurial.
• A performance-based compensation with a significant earning potential alongside standard perks like pension and private Health insurance
