We're searching for passionate individuals eager to contribute to Alpaca's rapid growth. If you align with our core values—Stay Curious, Have Empathy, and Be Accountable—and are ready to make a significant impact, we encourage you to apply.
Your Role:
Alpaca is already the infrastructure layer that hundreds of partners build on for execution. Nobody else is both the execution layer and the data layer - and that makes us the natural one-stop shop for brokerage plus market data. We're hiring a Lead Product Manager to own that second half: define and grow Alpaca's market data business as a standalone, revenue-generating product line.
We're seeking a Lead Product Manager, Market Data to define and own Alpaca's market data strategy - both as a capability that powers our platform and as a standalone, revenue-generating product line.
This role is equal parts strategy and delivery. 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.
What You'll Walk Into
You won't be starting from zero - you'll be owning live problems:
- Multiple new exchange onboardings in flight, each with its own licensing, entitlement, and redistribution constraints.
- A pricing and packaging model that needs rethinking as we expand across asset classes and geographies.
- Partners asking for data we don't serve yet - consolidated feeds, historical datasets, derived analytics - you'll be building those requests against cost and commercial upside.
- Internal teams (trading, algo routing, compliance, clearing) consuming market data with no product owner ensuring coverage keeps pace.
Things You Get To Do
- Negotiate or inform negotiations on exchange licensing, redistribution rights, and entitlements as Alpaca onboards new exchanges and asset classes - you'll talk to vendors and global venues directly.
- 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.
- Own the competitive position: understand how dedicated market data providers price and differentiate, and identify where Alpaca's bundled brokerage-plus-data model creates a defensible edge.
- Own the developer experience for market data APIs (REST, WebSocket/SSE, historical endpoints) - coverage, latency, reliability, and documentation that developers actually want to read.
- Lead partner discovery: understand what data capabilities are table-stakes vs. differentiating for neobrokers, RIAs, hedge funds, and crypto exchanges, and turn that into prioritization.
How We Take Care of You:
- Competitive Salary & Stock Options
- Health Benefits
- New Hire Home-Office Setup: One-time USD $500
- Monthly Stipend: USD $150 per month via a Brex Card
Alpaca is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace dedicated to pursuing and hiring a diverse workforce.
