Head of Product – Risk Management Platform (CFD & Crypto Markets)
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 best-in-class institutional-grade risk engine, capable of real-time monitoring, compliance reporting, and scalable performance across thousands of instruments and accounts.
This is a high-impact, high-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, DevOps, QA), CTO, and trading/business stakeholders;
Translate institutional trading and risk workflows into clear, detailed product specifications;
Implement and optimize real-time margining, leverage, netting, VAR, NOP, exposure, and P&L logic;
Oversee integrations with MetaTrader, cTrader, PrimeXM, OneZero, 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;
DevOps and QA engineers;
No in-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, real-time P&L;
Experience with platforms like Murex, Calypso, Imagine, OneZero, PrimeXM, 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 institutional-grade b2b risk platforms from scratch;
Background in regulated high-risk industries: brokerage, crypto, FX, etc.;
Experience leading a team of product managers or cross-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 high-performance, scalable, and regulator-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 real-time, data-heavy financial product;
Agile, non-bureaucratic environment focused on delivery and excellence;
Long-term mission to become a benchmark in institutional-grade trading infrastructure.
