About the role

Our ability to capture edge is gated by how fast we can get new venues live.
This is not a role for tracking tickets or running standups.
The team is small, the autonomy is real, and you are accountable for outcomes, not process.

Own the full lifecycle of exchange onboarding - from initial application and KYC/KYB through API connectivity testing to production go-live - ensuring the firm can trade on new venues as fast as operationally possible.
Coordinate across engineering, operations, compliance, and counterparties to remove blockers and drive integrations to completion.
Manage relationships with exchanges, brokerages, prime brokers, and vendors, ensuring they deliver on timelines.
Build internal tooling, dashboards, and automated workflows - including AI/LLM systems - to track progress, surface blockers, and reduce manual work.
Create repeatable processes for operational work that lacks playbooks, adding structure without adding overhead.
Work directly with traders and engineers to translate operational needs into technical requirements that support trading.
You have a genuine AI-native mindset - you're actively building with LLMs, AI agents, or automation tools to multiply your own output.
You are technically fluent and comfortable discussing APIs, data flows, and system design.
You operate well in ambiguity and prefer building playbooks to inheriting them.
Track record of managing exchanges, brokerages, prime brokers, or vendors and driving them to deliver.

4-6 years of experience in technical operations, trading ops, or adjacent roles, with a track record of owning workflows, improving systems, and driving work forward with minimal direction
Hands-on experience with exchange onboarding, trade operations implementation, or trading infrastructure buildout.
Demonstrated ability to coordinate complex, dependency-heavy work across engineering, operations, and external parties.
Experience at a prop trading firm, market maker, or crypto-native trading operation.
Familiarity with FIX protocol, exchange APIs, or market microstructure.
Experience with regulatory or compliance workflows tied to exchange access.
You have personally onboarded exchanges or built trading infrastructure - you know what it takes to go from zero to live.
