This is not a \"use a bit of Copilot\" role. We are making AI-first delivery the default across our IT department, and you will be the engineer who makes that real.\nYou will own our AI development harness: the coding-agent patterns, conventions, and end-to-end loops that let agents make reliable, incremental progress across long sessions and many context windows. Think of it as building the AI software factory the whole company builds on top of.\nThis is a hands-on senior role for someone who already ships production-grade software primarily by directing coding agents, not by hand-writing every line. You set the example, the guardrails, and the conventions that every other engineer's agents will follow.\nWhat will be your agenda?\nDesign and own FTMO's AI development harness: initializer and coding-agent patterns, AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md conventions, progress and checkpoint files, feature lists, and end-to-end test loops.\n\nShape the AI-native SDLC and PDLC together with our DevEx Specialist. Map every phase to a clear delegate / review / own model, then wire the tooling (MCP integrations, eval loops, CI hooks).\n\nRun fast proofs of concep t against real codebases and workflows, then turn the ones that hold up into production-ready patterns.\n\nDeliver production software agent-first, keeping the codebase clean and mergeable and setting the standard for agent-first delivery.\n\nBuild and harden the AI infrastructure: model access and routing, sandboxes, secrets and permissioning, observability, and cost controls for agent runs.\n\nRaise the whole department's AI fluency through patterns, internal documentation, and hands-on pairing, and help non-engineering teams ship and govern their own apps.\n\nTrack the frontier. Evaluate new models and tooling, and bring the ones that earn their place into our stack, including reporting.\n\nWhat do you bring to the table?\nYou are a senior SW engineer who has shipped and owned production software across the full lifecycle.\n\nAround a year working AI-first: delivering real, production-grade software primarily by directing coding agents.\n\nYou can show us the harness. Agent configs, AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md files, eval suites, prompts, MCP integrations, or repositories that prove how you get agents to do reliable work.\n\nStrong general software engineering. You can read, design, and review production code in at least one major stack and reason about architecture, testing, and security.\n\nDeep, practical fluency with agentic coding tools (Claude Code and the Claude Agent SDK, Codex, Cursor, or equivalents): context management, compaction, long-running sessions, and multi-agent patterns.\n\nPrompt and context engineering as a daily discipline, plus a feel for evals and verification loops so agent output is measured against tests, latency, and style\n\nOwnership and influence. You take a problem from PoC to production, leave the environment clean, and get other engineers to adopt new ways of working without needing a mandate.\n\nEnglish at B2 level or above.\n\nWhat would be nice to have?\nExperience in fintech or another regulated, high-stakes environment.\n\nPublic contributions: open-source agent tooling, write-ups, or talks on AI-native development.\n\nHands-on AI infrastructure work: model routing, sandboxes, permissioning, observability, and cost control for agent runs at scale.\n\nWhy join the FTMO team?\nWe are a Czech fintech that, since 2015, has grown from an idea into a global project.\n\n300+ amazing teammates. We’re a great team who learn from each other every day.\n\nHow do we work? We focus on meaningful work and open communication, while only adopting processes that make our lives easier.\n\nPrague, Národní třída. Enjoy our modern offices at the Quadrio shopping center, offering beautiful views and excellent accessibility.\n\nWhat if I don’t trade? No worries. We’ll show you what our product is all about and introduce you to the basics of trading.\n\nFree fruit, snacks, and coffee are always within reach in the office.\n\nHow do we promote strong relationships and well-being? Company cottage, team building events, and running club.\n\nFlexible hybrid model. We prefer collaborating in person to keep the team spirit high, but we offer the flexibility you need to stay balanced.\n\n*The benefits mentioned above apply to FTMO on-site employees in our Prague office.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4425,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Forex & CFD Brokers"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-13T06:11:39Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":11,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.384,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":141,"expected_fill_days":47,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-08T05:47:12Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ftmo-ai-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ftmo-ai-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-08T10:45:46Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":23161,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-09T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":692149},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=692149"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fftmo-ai-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fftmo-ai-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fftmo-ai-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ftmo-ai-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fftmo-ai-software-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":855278}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"ftmo.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":855278},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
