We’re a fast-moving startup building a best-in-class trading platform.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, loves solving problems, and can turn ideas into reality.

You’ll work closely with leadership to create and deploy new features, manage broker accounts, integrate APIs, and build engaging challenges for traders—think competitions, leaderboards, and giveaways. If you’re a mover, shaker, and innovator who can think two steps ahead, we want you on our team.

  • Build new user engagement features (competitions, leaderboards, giveaways).
  • Make minor front-end adjustments as needed.
  • Ensure scalability and reliability in a fast-paced startup environment.

Top Skills

  • Strong knowledge of SQL, PHP, and GIT (must-have)
  • PHP expertise (heavy backend work)
  • JavaScript (for occasional front-end tweaks)
  • Ability to take an idea and build it—startup mentality and problem-solving mindset.

Bonus: Familiarity with Discord (our community hub).

Technical Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience with LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP).
  • Strong database administration skills (MySQL/SQL).
  • Experience with web APIs.
  • Solid understanding of HTML/CSS/JavaScript.
  • Proficiency with GIT.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field preferred.

Ideal Candidate

  • Thrives in a startup environment.
  • Loves building new things and solving complex problems.
  • Open to feedback and passionate about continuous improvement.
  • Ready to lead the industry and leave copycats behind.
