Own the roadmap for a global energy-trading platform and API, integrating new venues and market data while driving revenue and reducing client friction in algo execution.
The Role
You will lead the strategy for venue connectivity—from onboarding new execution venues to managing real-time market data integration. Working closely with external counterparties, exchanges, and brokers, you will navigate technical changes and API upgrades to guarantee uninterrupted connectivity across aggregated markets. You are as comfortable discussing API specifications and trade flows with developers as you are presenting new commercial opportunities to executive stakeholders. Your goal is simple: build fast, protect continuous market access, eliminate client friction in the algo space, and drive bottom-line growth.
