Senior Technical Product Manager: Infrastructure and Platforms

Remote - Americas. Posted 2 months ago

The role

You will build Alpaca's internal infrastructure and developer platform as a product. You will own the product definition, platform maturity strategy, backlog, and multi-quarter roadmap for Platform & Infrastructure.

What you will do

  • Own infrastructure as a product.
  • Define and evolve a platform maturity model.
  • Build the rails for monthly delivery.
  • Keep the central backlog and intake sane.
  • Surface platform and infrastructure dependencies.
  • Drive platform maturity to eliminate maintenance windows.
  • Work with infrastructure engineering and Finance on cost attribution and efficiency.
  • Raise CI/CD and developer-platform adoption.
  • Make infrastructure portable for global scale.

Required qualifications

  • 7+ years as a TPM, product manager technical, or equivalent, with a substantial portion of that time owning infrastructure, platform or developer experience.
  • Owned a multi-team backlog, intake, and roadmap.
  • Run a planning cadence that teams actually use.
  • Technically fluent to be an equal partner to senior/staff engineers on compute infra, deployment pipelines (CI/CD), data stores, networking, and cost drivers.
  • Get things done without a reporting line.
  • Influenced platform adoption across many teams.
  • Write and operate with crisp scope.
  • Worked in a market-hours-sensitive or regulated production environment, or another domain where deploy windows, change risk, and customer trust are real constraints.
  • Use AI and automation to remove program toil.

Nice to have

  • Stood up a platform-maturity model, paved-path program, or internal developer platform.
  • Eliminated or dramatically reduced maintenance windows or change-freeze culture in a production org.
  • Multi-region or multi-entity infrastructure: packaging a platform so a new region or booking center can be stood up without a hero project.
  • Capital markets, brokerage, or other FinTech infrastructure.
