About the role
- This role is equal parts strategy and delivery.
- You won't be starting from zero - you'll be owning live problems:
- A pricing and packaging model that needs rethinking as we expand across asset classes and geographies.
Responsibilities
- You'll decide what data we source, how we package and price it, what we build versus buy - and then ship the APIs, feeds, and tooling that partners and internal teams depend on every day.
- Multiple new exchange onboardings in flight, each with its own licensing, entitlement, and redistribution constraints.
- Assess build-vs-buy for data infrastructure: where do we source from third parties, where do we invest in proprietary collection and normalization, and where do we create derived or value-added data products.
- Build the commercial model: define pricing and packaging (real-time vs. delayed, depth-of-book tiers, historical datasets, derived analytics) and work with sales to grow market data revenue.
Compensation
- Competitive Salary & Stock Options
Benefits
- Own the developer experience for market data APIs (REST, WebSocket/SSE, historical endpoints) - coverage, latency, reliability, and documentation that developers actually want to read.
- Competitive Salary & Stock Options
- Health Benefits
- Monthly Stipend: USD $150 per month via a Brex Card
- New Hire Home-Office Setup: One-time USD $500
