London, United Kingdom Valstro Full time
What are we looking for?

We are looking to add you to our growing Product Management team at Valstro. We aim to create a manageable, scalable, and cost-efficient service that fully embraces modern technology and methods.

The ideal candidate for this role has experience in trading technology and connectivity with third parties including the FIX (Financial Information eXchange) protocol, coming from either a business or technical background. The role would suit someone who has seen the challenges of current practices and is eager to explore solutions to improve order management and electronic trading through innovative technologies. We have teams working across both US and UK, and therefore can be flexible about location for the right candidate.

Who are we?

Valstro is a FinTech startup working to deliver next-gen, Cloud-First, trading solutions to global, multi-asset class institutional clients. You may call us a startup or a "baby enterprise." Regardless of the term you prefer, we are a "people-first" company: all the value that we plan to bring to clients comes from the efforts of a collaborative, motivated and well-supported team.

The applications that we are building are highly modular, well-tested, well-documented, and internally discoverable - all of which are, we believe, the not-so-secret sauce that will enable us to scale the product and the business.

Our overarching commercial goal is to shake up an industry that is overdue for tech-driven disruption as we expand our capabilities and reach, pushing established industry practices forward in every respect. We are tackling these challenges because we believe that our clients deserve better, and if that vision appeals to you, then read on.

Requirements

What will you be doing?

  • Reviewing third-party specifications (FIX) and writing up detailed requirements for new features
  • Defining configuration and setup requirements for interfacing with third parties via FIX interfaces
  • Performing analysis and documentation of requirements for OMS features as needed, thus contributing to the continuous improvement of the Valstro product offering
  • Overseeing the FIX certification process and evolving the operational requirements roadmap
  • Highlighting and escalating blockers within the Valstro product that hinder the certification process
  • Collaborating with other Valstro teams, including Engineering, and participating in the design and testing of software delivered

What you need to bring?

  • Experience with FIX (Financial Information eXchange) protocol, perhaps from support, implementation, integration, certification, testing, business analysis, product management or development etc
  • Eye for extracting obvious and subtle requirements from specification documents
  • Ability to write detailed but succinct requirements
  • Ability to communicate concepts to individuals both with and without domain knowledge
  • Ability to coordinate multiple tasks with varying deadlines, all at the same time
  • Proven problem solving skills, and the ability to manage complex projects with multiple partners
  • Ability to work both independently and as part of a team, in a fast-paced environment
  • Passion to improve on what has been done before

What else might be helpful but not essential?

Some great additions:

  • Working in Agile teams e.g. Scrum
  • Writing epics/user stories
  • Any experience working with APIs e.g. REST

Benefits

What is the Environment like at Valstro?

Despite being a young company, Valstro offers an excellent benefits package with top-tier health insurance, 401k plans and highly competitive overall compensation.

Regardless of where you are sitting, Valstro is a wonderful place to work. Leadership brings a genuine wealth of experience and industry knowledge, and for a young company, we humbly believe that we have our product/market fit very carefully dialed in. As we move to execute and deliver the vision to clients, the Engineering team will need client-obsessed, delivery-focused high performers (with a healthy dose of humility, of course) that we can help grow into the FinTech leaders of the future. If this excites you, we would love to chat.
