Your Role Alpaca's product team is looking for a Product Manager to help drive Alpaca's tokenization surface - centered on the Instant Tokenization Network (ITN) and the issuer, authorized participant, market maker, and broker experiences built on top of it. You will partner deeply with engineering, compliance, legal, operations, partnerships, and the broader Alpaca product team to ship regulated tokenization infrastructure at scale. You will be expected to provide early signal on tokenized securities and RWA policy developments rather than react after rules formalize.
