• Proven experience in fintech, trading, or brokerage systems (trading bots, APIs, market data, etc.);
• Hands-on work with MetaTrader 4/5, cTrader, or similar platforms; MQL4/5 or cTrader Automate is a strong plus;
• Reverse engineering skills with closed APIs and protocols (e.g., MT4 Manager API, WinAPI/hooks);
• Expertise in building real-time, high-load systems with low-latency requirements;
• Experience designing scalable cloud infrastructure (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD);
• Strong knowledge of React and full-stack web development;
• Solid understanding of databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis) and performance optimization;
• Experience in application security (encryption, secure APIs, GDPR/PCI compliance);
• English: Upper-Intermediate+.

Nice to have Requirements:

• Experience with FIX protocol or other trading APIs;
• Background in HFT or other low-latency financial applications;
• Familiarity with streaming/data pipelines (Kafka, ClickHouse);
• Prior experience as the first engineer on a product (solo build team scale-up).

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement the core trade copier engine with real-time trade replication;
• Build integrations with MT4/MT5, cTrader, and other trading platforms (reverse engineering required);
• Architect the platform for high availability, scalability, and low latency;
• Develop the Cloud Portal for account management, settings, and performance monitoring;
• Implement risk management features (drawdown limits, lot scaling, selective copying, etc.);
• Ensure secure handling of sensitive credentials (encryption, safe APIs);
• Deploy the product in the cloud; set up containerization, monitoring, failover, and auto-scaling;
• Write and maintain technical documentation (architecture, APIs, deployment runbooks);
• Collaborate with product owners to prioritize features and roadmap;
• Lay the foundation for a future engineering team (mentorship, code standards, best practices).
