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.

Who You Might Be (Nice-to-Haves): - Direct experience at a broker-dealer, exchange, transfer agent, custodian, market maker, or institutional digital-asset / RWA platform. - Experience with tokenized money market funds, tokenized securities, RWA issuance, or other regulated tokenized-asset products. - Prior work on RFQ, atomic settlement flows - Background combining regulated financial product context (broker-dealer, exchange, custodian) with crypto-native infrastructure.
