About the Role
tastytrade is looking for a Technical Product Manager to own the roadmap for our infrastructure and DevOps capabilities — the systems that keep our trading platforms fast, stable, and secure, and that our engineers rely on to ship code confidently. You'll drive the strategy for our CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and infrastructure-as-code, working closely with the engineers who build and operate them.
This is a hands-on, technical role. You'll be trusted to dig into architecture and tooling decisions alongside engineers, make prioritization calls, and represent infrastructure priorities clearly to leadership.
What You'll Do
- Own the roadmap for infrastructure and DevOps priorities — including CI/CD pipelines infrastructure-as-code and our AWS cloud environment — in partnership with the infrastructure engineering team.
- Work with backend teams (Ruby and Java) to understand where infrastructure or tooling gaps are slowing down delivery or creating risk.
- Prioritize and sequence infrastructure work against the needs of application teams building customer-facing trading platforms, account opening flows, and internal tools.
- Define what "healthy infrastructure" looks like for tastytrade — tracking metrics like deployment frequency, incident frequency/MTTR, and infra cost, and using them to justify roadmap decisions.
- Partner with infrastructure engineers to improve build/test/deploy workflows so engineers can ship changes to production quickly and safely.
- Lead build-vs-buy evaluations for infrastructure tooling and vendors (e.g., containerization, observability, config management), weighing cost, speed, security, and long-term scalability.
- Ensure infrastructure and deployment practices meet the security, compliance, and audit expectations of a regulated brokerage (tastytrade is regulated by FINRA/NFA and is part of IG Group).
- Communicate roadmap, tradeoffs, risks, and progress clearly to engineering leadership and stakeholders.
What We're Looking For
- 3+ years of product management experience, with meaningful time spent owning infrastructure, DevOps, platform, or developer-productivity products.
