Role Description Nascent is building at the frontier of AI-native trading. As a Technical Project Manager for Trade Operations, you will own execution of exchange onboarding, brokerage integration, and vendor coordination. This is a high-leverage position for someone who operates well in ambiguity and wants direct impact on a trading firm’s ability to deploy capital. This role is fully remote and operates within +/- 3 hours of EST. What You’ll Do - Own the full lifecycle of exchange onboarding – from initial application and KYC/KYB through API connectivity testing to production go-live. - Coordinate across engineering, operations, compliance, and counterparties to remove blockers and drive integrations to completion. - Manage relationships with exchanges, brokerages, prime brokers, and vendors, ensuring they deliver on timelines. - Build internal tooling, dashboards, and automated workflows — including AI/LLM systems — to track progress, surface blockers, and reduce manual work. - Create repeatable processes for operational work that lacks playbooks, adding structure without adding overhead. - Evaluate and integrate vendors for operational infrastructure, prioritizing speed and technical fit over process. - Identify and resolve operational risks early — across exchange requirements, regulatory changes, and integration timelines. - Work directly with traders and engineers to translate operational needs into technical requirements that support trading. Qualifications - You have personally onboarded exchanges or built trading infrastructure. - You do not wait for instructions; you see gaps and close them. - You have a genuine AI-native mindset — actively building with LLMs, AI agents, or automation tools. - You measure success by whether the firm can trade, not by whether a plan was followed. - You are technically fluent and comfortable discussing APIs, data flows, and system design. - You operate well in ambiguity and prefer building playbooks to inheriting them. - You have strong judgment managing external stakeholders and know when to push or find workarounds. Requirements - 4–6 years of experience in technical operations, trading ops, or adjacent roles. - Hands-on experience with exchange onboarding, trade operations implementation, or trading infrastructure buildout. - Demonstrated ability to coordinate complex, dependency-heavy work across engineering, operations, and external parties. - Track record of managing exchanges, brokerages, prime brokers, or vendors and driving them to deliver. - Active use of AI/LLM tools to automate workflows or accelerate operations, with concrete examples. - Proven ability to operate independently in low-structure environments and set your own priorities. Nice-to-Have’s - Experience at a prop trading firm, market maker, or crypto-native trading operation. - Familiarity with FIX protocol, exchange APIs, or market microstructure. - Experience with regulatory or compliance workflows tied to exchange access. - Experience building internal tooling or automating workflows with code, no-code, or AI agents. Benefits - Competitive total compensation package heavily weighted toward bonus. - Opportunity to learn, experiment, and build in an entrepreneurial environment. - Remote and distributed working environment. - Comprehensive health benefits package including dental, vision, and life. - 16 weeks fully paid parental leave & supported return to work. - Home office setup and stipend or coworking space and wellness stipend. - Retirement plan matching contributions. - Open vacation policy as well as flexible work hours and location. - Team activities and in-person team retreats.
