Senior Product Manager - Platform

Summary Are you a systems thinker and product strategist who wants to build the platform traders rely on every day? Topstep is looking for a Senior Product Manager to own and evolve core areas of TopstepX, our proprietary futures trading platform. TopstepX is where our traders spend their day: it is how they see the market, place and manage orders, monitor risk, and track their performance. The platform serves traders across our funding programs and our brokerage offering, so the work you do here shapes the experience of every trader who uses our products. In this role, you’ll partner closely with engineering, design, trading operations, risk, and support to define product direction, deliver dependable and intuitive solutions, and continuously improve outcomes for traders and the business. You will be responsible for product areas where speed, reliability, and clarity matter in real time, and where the quality of the experience directly affects how traders perform. This role is ideal for someone who combines deep product judgment with strong execution instincts, understands how traders think and work, and who’s ready to take on a highly visible part of the platform.

Work with engineering to balance new capability against platform stability, performance, and resilience, treating reliability as a product feature. Collaborate with risk, compliance, trading operations, and support to ensure platform behavior is accurate, transparent, and consistent with program rules and regulatory expectations. Drive the roadmap and product development process with a bias toward learning, iteration, and measurable results, defining success metrics and instrumenting features to track them. Write clear requirements, acceptance criteria, and release communication so engineering, QA, and trader-facing teams share a single understanding of what is shipping and why. Contribute to strong product practices by sharing insights, learnings, and best practices with the broader product team.
