Responsibilities
- Own one core trading sub-surface end-to-end (a new asset class or an ancillary trading product) - drive prioritization, API design, and rollout inside your surface.
- Run discovery with partners and prospects against real integration constraints, translate findings into a sequenced backlog for your surface, and push back on requests that don’t fit the platform without over-promising.
- Ship to production at the cadence of a high-growth platform - write clear PRDs, align with engineering on API contracts, and produce documentation partners can implement against.
- Improve operational efficiency in your surface - exception handling, partner-facing tooling, automation of repetitive ops - and own the metrics.
- Track adoption beyond GA - trading volume, order success rate, partner activation, partner-reported blockers - and iterate on docs, SDK ergonomics, and rollout sequencing until your surface is actually being adopted.
- Report timely and accurately on product status and results to internal and external stakeholders, including partners.
