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 Railsware Product Studio, we build products that people love. You may know Railsware 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 Railsware , previously helped scale Calendly)
-
Umar Ashraf — product, markets & distribution (founder of Tradezella, with 4M+ subscriber YouTube trading channel)
It's a tight team. Your decisions carry real weight. If that kind of ownership drives you, we'd love to hear from you!
What you’ll get?
- The ability to build and launch a product from scratch, fully managing the process at a stable company with extensive experience developing successful products
- Full ownership — from idea to shipped product, you run the loop
- Product-market proximity — you'll use the product yourself as a trader
- Collaborating with top market brands in the trading world – prop firms, brokers
- True AI-first environment with a stellar engineering team — we use AI as a core part of how we plan, research, design, and build, yet in tight collaboration with true engineering talent
- Outcome-driven culture — we combine synchronous collaboration with focused asynchronous work, choosing the approach that best supports effective outcomes
