In this role, your responsibilities would include
API platform strategy
- Define the vision and roadmap for Hiive's external API platform, from initial partner integrations to a broader developer ecosystem.
- Own the end-to-end API product lifecycle: design, documentation, versioning, governance, and deprecation.
- Work with engineering partners to establish API design standards and conventions that prioritize developer experience, consistency, and security.
- Participate in build, buy, and partner decisions for integration infrastructure
Partner integrations
- Lead the product side of integrations with other financial infrastructure providers.
- Translate complex, domain-specific requirements (fund structures, capital account data, compliance workflows, trading mechanics) into clean, well-scoped API contracts.
- Build bidirectional integration patterns: both exposing Hiive data to partners and ingesting external data into Hiive.
- Work directly with partner engineering and product teams to design, ship, and iterate on integrations.
Cross-functional execution
- Partner with engineering to make technical architecture decisions, inform build priorities, and maintain API quality and reliability.
- Work with compliance and legal teams to ensure integrations meet regulatory requirements (FINRA, broker-dealer obligations, data handling, KYC/AML).
- Collaborate with business teams to identify high-value integration opportunities that drive revenue.
- Coordinate with internal product teams to ensure platform APIs are consistent with the core product experience.
Developer experience and ecosystem
- Build and maintain API documentation, developer guides, and sandbox environments that make it easy for partners to integrate with Hiive.
- Devise GTM practices for partners to stand-up and maintain integrations into Hiive, including version management and changelog processes
- Define success metrics for the API platform: partner onboarding time, integration reliability, API adoption, and revenue attribution.
- Lay the groundwork for a broader developer ecosystem as the platform matures.
Required skills
- 8-12 years of product management or related engineering experience, with at least 3 years owning API platforms, developer platforms, or technical integration products.
- Hands-on experience designing and shipping APIs at a modern, API-first or platform-oriented company
- Deep technical fluency: you can read API specs, participate meaningfully in architecture discussions, and write clear technical requirements.
- A track record of shipping integrations that drive measurable business outcomes (partner adoption, revenue, retention).
- Strong communication skills: you can translate between engineering, business, compliance, and external partner teams without losing fidelity.
Preferred skills
- Experience in private markets, wealth management, fund administration, or cap table management.
- Experience building partner integrations in regulated or compliance-heavy environments (financial services, payments, or securities preferred).
- Familiarity with private fund structures (SPVs, SAFs, LP/GP relationships, capital accounts)
- Experience with API commercialization or marketplace/ecosystem business models.
- Experience building a platform product function from scratch at a growth-stage company.
