About IEX

At IEX, we’re passionate about building technology that moves industries forward. Our story began when we built a stock exchange designed to deliver high-performance results for all investors.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience as a Product Manager or working in a trading operations role and working closely with technology teams


• Strong options market experience is required, with a solid understanding of options trading and market structure, including operational workflows and infrastructure


• Experience with equities markets is a nice to have


• Ability to translate business needs into clear product requirements, user stories, and test cases, and communicate them effectively to diverse audiences


• Familiarity with Jira and managing work through an agile or iterative development lifecycle


• Technical fluency with data querying and analysis tools (SQL, KDB), along with comfort using command-line tools and generative AI


• Strong communication skills and comfort working across technical and non-technical teams
