About the role
In this role, you will define and execute Alpaca's market data strategy, operating both as a core capability powering internal trading and brokerage infrastructure and as a standalone commercial product line. Balancing strategy and technical delivery, you will decide data sourcing, packaging, build-versus-buy trade-offs, and ship the APIs, feeds, and developer tooling relied on by external partners and internal brokerage teams.
What you'll do
- Negotiate or inform negotiations on exchange licensing, redistribution rights, and entitlements with global trading venues and vendors.
- Evaluate build-versus-buy decisions for market data sourcing, proprietary collection, normalization, and derived analytics.
- Define commercial packaging and pricing models across real-time, delayed, depth-of-book tiers, and historical datasets.
- Own the developer experience and specifications for market data APIs across REST, WebSocket/SSE, and historical endpoints.
- Lead partner discovery with neobrokers, RIAs, hedge funds, and crypto exchanges to prioritize data capabilities.
What you bring
- Demonstrated experience leading product management for financial market data, brokerage, or trading infrastructure.
- Familiarity with exchange licensing, market data redistribution constraints, and entitlement models.
- Experience building commercial models and packaging for data or developer-focused API products.
- Technical understanding of high-throughput data feeds, historical market datasets, and API protocols.
