Bucureşti
Bucharest, Romania

Employment: Full-time
Remote: Yes (remote-first)
Timezone: GMT+3 ±1

About the Role

The company is looking for a hands-on Head of Product to lead the evolution of their institutional risk management platform used in CFD, FX, and crypto trading.

The platform already exists — it has a solid technical foundation and an experienced development team — but its current functionality does not meet their standards. Your mission will be to transform it into a
-
- class
- grade risk engine, capable of
- time monitoring, compliance reporting, and scalable performance across thousands of instruments and accounts.

This is a
- impact,
- ownership role — ideal for a product leader who has already built or scaled similar systems and is ready to make a strategic difference.

Responsibilities

• Own and drive the full product lifecycle of the risk management platform;

• Collaborate closely with engineering (backend, frontend, Dev
  Ops, QA), CTO, and trading/business stakeholders;

• Translate institutional trading and risk workflows into clear, detailed product specifications;

• Implement and optimize
  - time margining, leverage, netting, VAR, NOP, exposure, and P&L logic;

• Oversee integrations with Meta
  Trader, c
  Trader, Prime
  XM, One
  Zero, FIX API, and liquidity providers;

• Continuously benchmark the platform against industry leaders like Murex, Calypso, and Imagine;

• Influence the team structure and product budget — including hiring if appropriate;

• Define and prioritize the product roadmap using agile methodologies (SAFE knowledge is a plus);

• Ensure full alignment with institutional client requirements, auditor standards, and regulatory expectations.

Team Composition

• CTO;

• Backend and frontend developers;

• Dev
  Ops and QA engineers;

• No
  - house quants currently — potential for future collaboration or advisory.
  

Requirements

• 5–10 years of experience in fintech, trading infrastructure, or risk system product management;

• Solid domain knowledge in CFD, FX, or crypto markets;

• Deep understanding of risk and trading metrics: VAR, margining, net open position (NOP), exposure,
  - time P&L;

• Experience with platforms like Murex, Calypso, Imagine, One
  Zero, Prime
  XM, or FIX protocols;

• Proven ability to deliver complex financial products in an institutional environment;

• Technical fluency — able to communicate effectively with engineers and understand system architecture;

• Strong academic background in Finance, Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, or related fields;

• Fluent English (C1/C2).

Nice to Have

• Experience building
  - grade b2b risk platforms from scratch;

• Background in regulated
  - risk industries: brokerage, crypto, FX, etc. ;

• Experience leading a team of product managers or
  - functional squads;

• Familiarity with compliance workflows, audit trails, and reporting standards;

• SAFE 6. 0 or scaled agile delivery experience.

Success in This Role Means:

You will have transformed a structurally sound but functionally weak platform into a
- performance, scalable, and
- ready institutional risk engine, ready to support a global trading operation across asset classes and client types.

What They Offer

• Remote-first work environment within GMT+3 ±1;

• A critical product role with direct influence over product vision, roadmap, and team building;

• Close collaboration with company leadership — CTO, product heads, trading teams;

• An opportunity to reshape and scale a
  - time,
  - heavy financial product;

• Agile,
  - bureaucratic environment focused on delivery and excellence;

• Long-term mission to become a benchmark in
  - grade trading infrastructure.
