OANDA is a regulated global broker, now part of the FTMO group. An exceptional trading experience sits at the centre of both: it is what traders use every day to find opportunities and execute with confidence.\nWe are building a new flagship trading platform, and this role sits at the heart of it - in our trading middleware: the services that connect client platforms and APIs to the trading engine, covering order routing, price streaming, and account and position data.\nEach part of the offering is owned by a small AI-first team: a Product Engineering Lead with one or two Product Engineers, working in partnership with product management and using AI agents to do much of the implementation. This hire is one of those Product Engineers and reports to the Product Engineering Lead.\nWhat will this person own?\nThe backend for the trading experience. Designs and builds the backend services and APIs that the native and web apps use: backend-for-frontend endpoints, real-time price and position streams to clients, and order and account flows, integrated with the trading middleware currently developed in Node.js and Go.\n\nMeasure at the core. Defines SLIs and measures them against the SLOs in all environments; makes decisions based on data and decides on the technology based on SLAs\n\nProduct outcomes. Works with the Product Engineering Lead, product management and product design on the team's slice: helps shape the problem, decide what to build, and is measured on client outcomes, not output.\n\nSpec driven development. Creates specs and ships with agents every day within the team's workflow and guardrails, holds generated code to the same bar as human code, and suggests improvements to how the team works.\n\nAcross the stack. Picks up web or mobile client work when the slice needs it, so a feature can go from API to screen without a hand-off.\n\nQuality and release. Owns automated and contract tests, feature flags, and latency and error-rate monitoring for their services. Takes part in incident response and post-incident reviews for the team's areas.\n\nRegulated delivery. Builds changes that meet regulatory requirements across jurisdictions, working with the Lead, compliance and risk.\n\nWho we are looking for?\nA product engineer with deep backend experience who thinks in client outcomes and builds with AI agents every day. They are as comfortable shaping a problem with product management and design as they are designing an API or a real-time stream. AI has already changed how they work, not just which tools they use.\nMust-haves:\nHands-on backend engineer in Node.js (TypeScript) or Go: has built and run production services and APIs (REST, WebSockets or gRPC) behind a consumer-facing app at scale.\n\nStrong, type-safe code in TypeScript (strict mode, discriminated unions, generics) or Go (interfaces, generics, explicit error handling): uses the type system to model the domain and prevent invalid states.\n\nSolid grasp of their language's concurrency model (the Node.js event loop and async programming, or Go goroutines, channels and context), and how to keep services responsive under load.\n\nProduct engineering track record: has owned features from problem to outcome and can name a client metric they moved.\n\nBuilds with AI agents daily (for example Claude Code, Cursor or Codex): spec-driven development, directing agents, and reviewing and testing what they produce. Can show how their own workflow has changed.\n\nAutomated testing (unit, integration, contract), CI/CD, feature flags, and monitoring and observability for backend services.\n\nWorks well with product management and product design, writes clearly, and pushes back on scope when quality or client safety is at risk.\n\nEnglish language at C1 level or above.\n\nNice-to-haves:\nReal-time streaming: WebSockets or gRPC streaming, price fan-out to many clients, conflation and throttling.\n\nEvent-driven architecture (Kafka or similar), Protobuf.\n\nClient-side experience in React/TypeScript or native mobile (Swift, Kotlin), or backend-for-frontend design for native and web apps.\n\nGCP, Kubernetes (GKE) and OpenTelemetry.\n\nExperience with trading platforms, FX, CFDs or other regulated financial products.\n\nHas built tooling for agents: custom agents, MCP servers, or automated evaluation of generated code.\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":5322,"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":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Forex & CFD Brokers"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-12T19:27:56Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":47,"reasons":["conf:2","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T22:16:52Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ftmo-product-engineer-node-js-trading-platforms","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ftmo-product-engineer-node-js-trading-platforms.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T22:16:52Z","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":47103,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"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-product-engineer-node-js-trading-platforms"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"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-product-engineer-node-js-trading-platforms"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"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-product-engineer-node-js-trading-platforms"},{"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-product-engineer-node-js-trading-platforms\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fftmo-product-engineer-node-js-trading-platforms"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4191553}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"ftmo.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4191553},"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.
