Position Summary
Join MyFundedFutures as a senior, hands-on engineer to design, build, and maintain our core backend systems, platform infrastructure, and frontend tools. Someone who takes strong, informed positions on architecture and technology options, while remaining pragmatic and adaptable to the realities of a fast-moving trading platform business.
You thrive in environments where financial accuracy, system uptime, and developer productivity are equally critical and you treat dependability as a non-negotiable professional standard.
Key Responsibilities
- Serve as the technical lead across platform and backend engineering — owning architecture decisions, facilitating cross-team coordination, and ensuring consistent development standards.
- Design, build, and maintain core backend services and APIs using Django/Python and Go, with a focus on reliability, performance, and scalability.
- Proactively identify and address technical debt, performance bottlenecks, security risks, and reliability gaps before they become production incidents.
- Mentor and develop engineers across the team — providing clear, constructive technical guidance and helping others grow in ownership and scope.
- Contribute to frontend development in React, particularly around platform integrations and internal tooling.
- Be a dependable presence on-call and in production — you take ownership of issues through to resolution and document your learnings as repeatable processes.
Qualifications
Required
- Strong ability to write well-structured, idiomatic, Python and Go with a deep understanding of the Django ecosystem.
- Hands-on experience integrating payment systems (Stripe, Worldpay, Braintree, or similar)
- Demonstrated ability to lead technical architecture discussions and produce clear, defensible design decisions with appropriate trade-off analysis.
- Experience with RESTful API design, WebSockets, and asynchronous/event-driven architectures.
- Strong understanding of databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Elasticsearch) including schema design, query optimization, indexing and transactional integrity.
- Proficiency with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing strategies, and modern DevOps tooling.
- React (or similar) development experience — comfortable contributing to or reviewing frontend work within a full-stack platform context.
- Reliable and dependable – you follow through, communicate proactively, and treat your commitments seriously.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable driving alignment across engineering, product, and business stakeholders.
Preferred
- Background in trading, futures, prop trading, or fintech environments — you understand the domain, the stakes, and the performance expectations.
- Experience with Kubernetes and container orchestration in production environments.
- Familiarity with distributed systems patterns: message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ), caching strategies (Redis), and service-to-service communication.
- Experience operating in multi-team engineering organizations with shared codebases or platform dependencies.
- Exposure to observability tooling: Prometheus, Grafana, structured logging, and distributed tracing.
