Technical Product Manager, Infrastructure and Dev Ops

Department: Product   Reports To: Head of Product Employment Type:  Full-Time   Location:  Chicago, IL – In-Person Salary : $140,000 – $180,000     Technical Product Manager, Infrastructure & DevOps Location: Chicago, IL (West Loop) - Hybrid Reports to: Head of Product About the Role tastytrade is looking for a Technical Product Manager to own the roadmap for our infrastructure and DevOps capabilities — the systems that keep our trading platforms fast, stable, and secure, and that our engineers rely on to ship code confidently. You'll drive the strategy for our CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and infrastructure-as-code, working closely with the engineers who build and operate them. This is a hands-on, technical role. You'll be trusted to dig into architecture and tooling decisions alongside engineers, make prioritization calls, and represent infrastructure priorities clearly to leadership. What You'll Do • Own the roadmap for infrastructure and DevOps priorities — including CI/CD pipelines infrastructure-as-code and our AWS cloud environment — in partnership with the infrastructure engineering team. • Work with backend teams (Ruby and Java) to understand where infrastructure or tooling gaps are slowing down delivery or creating risk. • Prioritize and sequence infrastructure work against the needs of application teams building customer-facing trading platforms, account opening flows, and internal tools. • Define what "healthy infrastructure" looks like for tastytrade — tracking metrics like deployment frequency, incident frequency/MTTR, and infra cost, and using them to justify roadmap decisions. • Partner with infrastructure engineers to improve build/test/deploy workflows so engineers can ship changes to production quickly and safely. • Lead build-vs-buy evaluations for infrastructure tooling and vendors (e.g., containerization, observability, config management), weighing cost, speed, security, and long-term scalability. • Ensure infrastructure and deployment practices meet the security, compliance, and audit expectations of a regulated brokerage (tastytrade is regulated by FINRA/NFA and is part of IG Group). • Communicate roadmap, tradeoffs, risks, and progress clearly to engineering leadership and stakeholders. What We're Looking For • 3+ years of product management experience, with meaningful time spent owning infrastructure, DevOps, platform, or developer-productivity products. • Technical depth: you can discuss CI/CD systems, cloud architecture (AWS), infrastructure-as-code and distributed systems with engineers without everything needing to be explained to you. • Track record of shipping infrastructure or platform improvements with measurable impact on reliability, cost, or engineering velocity. • Experience partnering with engineering, security, and compliance teams, ideally in a regulated industry (fintech, brokerage, financial services, or similar). • Strong prioritization instincts and the ability to navigate tough tradeoff conversations across multiple stakeholder groups. • Comfortable presenting strategy and tradeoffs to both engineers and leadership. • Self-directed: you can create clarity and a roadmap out of ambiguity with minimal oversight. • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or relevant STEM field, or equivalent practical experience. Nice to Have • Prior experience as a software or infrastructure engineer before moving into product management. • Familiarity with options/futures trading systems, market data, or order execution infrastructure. Company Perks + Benefits: • Performance Bonuses  • Stock Purchase Options  • Medical/Vision/Dental Benefits • 401k Plan  • 20 Paid Vacation Days (plus an additional paid vacation day the month of your birthday!)  • 10 Paid Sick Days  • Gym Membership Reimbursement  • Commuter Benefits  • Pet Insurance  • Wellness & Mental Health Programs  • Charitable Donation Matching  • Two Paid Volunteer Days Off  • Daily catered lunch when in the office  • Full kitchen with snacks and beverages  • In-building gym  • Shuttle to/from Metra  Discretionary Performance Bonus: 10-12% of base salary based on individual and company performance.   About IGNA + tasty IG North America is home to tastytrade, tasty live , and tastyfx—a family of brands built to democratize trading and empower individual investors.
