Product Lead (Trading Platform)

Product Lead (Trading Domain) We're building a trading product from the ground up and looking for a Product Lead who is both an active trader and an experienced product manager. This isn't a role where one side is a nice-to-have. You'll be making product decisions that require real market intuition — understanding how traders think, what they actually need at execution speed, what separates a tool they trust from one they abandon, who the players in the market are, such as prop firms, brokers, data providers, what a CME license is, etc. Product management skills alone won't get you there. Trading experience alone won't either. At TradeFill in partnership with [компания] Product Studio, we build products that people love. You may know [компания] from building TradeZella, Calendly, ParentSquare, Mailtrap.io, Coupler.io, or TitanApps.io — tools that quietly serve millions of people. We bring the same craft and conviction to everything we build. This particular role is part of a small, founder-led team building in the trading space. You'd be joining: - Yaroslav Lazor — product & engineering (CEO and founder of [компания], previously helped scale Calendly) - Umar Ashraf — product, markets & distribution (founder of Tradezella, with 4M+ subscriber YouTube trading channel) It's a tight team.
