We’re building a new real-time trading platform for the proprietary trading (prop firm) industry: live challenge tracking on MetaTrader 5, a trader portal and an internal operations system. We’re a small, AI-first engineering team and we put security and correctness first.

What you’ll do

- Build and own our MT5 integration service on the MT5 Manager API: account creation, group management, trading permissions, closing positions and balance operations.
- Stream deals, position changes and account equity from MT5 into our backend in real time.
- Build the risk engine that tracks live equity and enforces trading rules (daily loss, maximum drawdown, profit targets) within seconds.
- Build reconciliation against MT5 trade history so no deal is ever missed or counted twice.
- Work with the backend team (TypeScript, PostgreSQL) on account and payment flows.
- Work as an AI-first engineer: use AI coding tools to move fast, and review, test and take ownership of every line of AI-generated code before it ships.

What you’ll need

- 4+ years of backend development.
- Hands-on experience with the MT5 Manager API (or the MT4 Manager API with some MT5 exposure) at a broker, prop firm or trading-technology company.
- Strong C#/.NET (or C++) skills,



and experience running services on Windows Server.
- Experience with real-time systems: message queues and WebSockets.
- Good SQL and PostgreSQL (or a similar database) skills.
- An understanding of FX and CFD basics: margin, equity, drawdown, and hedging versus netting accounts.
- Regular use of AI coding tools in your work, and the judgement to spot when AI-generated code is wrong or insecure.
- A careful, security-minded approach and clear written English.

Nice to have

- Experience building prop-firm challenge or risk systems.
- TypeScript and Node.js.
- The MT5 Web API or MT5 Server API (plugins).
- AWS or Azure, Docker, CI/CD.

What we offer

- Competitive salary, based on experience
- Fully remote, with flexible schedule and at least 4 hours a day overlapping Melbourne business hours (roughly 9:30 am to 1:30 pm IST)
- Ownership of a core system from day one, in a small team where your work matters

How to apply Apply with your CV and a short note about an MT5 Manager API project you worked on: what it did, how many accounts it handled, and what your role was.

- Note: this role is broker-side MT5 Manager API development. It is not MQL5 Expert Advisor or indicator development.
