Prague, Czech Republic • IT

At FTMO, we believe that company growth starts with people. We are a team that pushes forward together, supports one another, and celebrates shared achievements. Our environment creates space for talents to grow - individually, as a team, and across the whole company.

Grab the opportunity to become a part of the most successful Czech fintech, FTMO. You will be responsible for the full lifecycle - development, operation, and testing - of microservices and internal technical infrastructure. Acts as a versatile, Tshaped engineer blending software development, DevOps, and QA principles to build and maintain highly reliable and scalable systems.

What’s in store for you?

The team is primarily building and maintaining systems for the integration of 3rd party Trading Platforms:

• Monitoring of trading accounts:

• Trading platform API bridge

• Monitoring of historical symbol/security/instrument configuration

• Monitoring of trading activity

• Custom integrations into platforms

• System tracks the record of client accounts, their trading activity, and evaluates whether they are abiding by FTMO trading rules

• Data is ingested from the platforms and sent through multiple applications using Kafka as a messaging broker

• System that manages configuration and client accounts on the trading platform - Basic CRUD operations

• System tracks activity (read counts of messages) generated by our clients, and when they get over thresholds, it sends messages to trigger actions - preventing hyperactive / runaway algos from overloading our systems

• We have our own internal C++ plugins for some platforms. These plugins provide custom logic for our apps, for example, providing real-time data for our monitoring of trading accounts, or providing APIs for the trading platform bridge

We are responsible for the entire application lifecycle, including analysis, implementation, maintenance, and operations. Because of that, we can have on-calls and are actively monitoring and taking care of issues.

What other tools do we use?

• Python 3.14 with a lot of asyncio and mandatory typing

• Kafka for near real-time event processing

• FastAPI with async endpoints and fully typed arguments for nice open api

• TimescaleDB for storing trading data

• Google Cloud Storage as a second-tier storage for trading data that is not needed in the main trading database

• SQLAlchemy Core for database modeling and querying data

• Django for database modeling for legacy reasons - the project started with Django

• Ruff for linting and formatting

• Mypy for type-checking

• Pytest for automated tests - We have tests covering multiple levels - unit-tests, system tests, and even integration tests

• Behave for end-to-end tests

• Gitlab CI/CD for running automated tests, linting, security scans, and deployment

• Sentry for tracking errors

• Thanos/Prometheus for metrics storage and Grafana for dashboards over them

• ECS logging and Kibana for viewing logs

• Docker and Kubernetes for running our apps

What do we expect from you?

• Python is your craft: You have solid experience with modern Python, you’re comfortable with asyncio, and you’re a firm believer in mandatory typing.

• Data in motion: You’ve worked with messaging systems (ideally Kafka, but we’re happy to talk if you’re familiar with RabbitMQ or SQS).

• Databases: SQL isn’t a mystery to you. You know how to get data out of PostgreSQL or MySQL efficiently.

• Web Frameworks: You have experience with FastAPI, Django, or Flask and understand how a robust backend works.

• Testing is key: You write tests in pytest because you know that a good night’s sleep after a deploy is priceless.

• Git: Version control is second nature to you.

• Languages: You are fluent in Czech or Slovak, and your English is communicative-documentation and the occasional chat with international colleagues are part of our daily routine.

Nice to haves (The “Extra Mile”)

• TypeScript: We have an internal app for debugging and data querying where this will come in handy.

• C++: Some of our integrations run on C++, so don’t be startled if you see it.

• K8s & Docker: Our apps live in Kubernetes, so experience with containers is a huge plus.

• Linux: Most of our systems run on Linux, so being comfortable in that environment helps.

• Agile: We run on SCRUM, so if you already know what a sprint is, you’ll feel right at home.

Why join the FTMO team?

• 300+ amazing teammates. We’re a great team who learn from each other every day.

• How do we work? We focus on meaningful work and open communication, while only adopting processes that make our lives easier.

• Free fruit, snacks, and coffee are always within reach in the office.
