We have plenty of projects, more are coming, and we want every one of them: each is a new chance to grow. We know the goals, so we don't wait for a brief. We work closely with the team, but we write the brief ourselves. We're looking for a product engineer, not a ticket-clicker. Someone with no walls between frontend, design, product and business, who owns the problem, the trade-offs and the result, and who spots something broken and fixes it before a colleague does. We are a Czech team, so we would appreciate at least a basic level of communication in Czech. We're here to help FTMO become a global trading powerhouse. And frontend plays a much bigger part in that than most people think. Why this might be exactly right for you? - Ownership of the whole outcome. You don't just implement what someone mocked up. You own the problem, the trade-offs and the impact on the customer. - You can get a playground you can actually play in. You get space, trust and real projects. Your ideas won't die in a backlog, they'll reach customers. - AI isn't decoration, it's the baseline. We use it every day: in code, in workflows and in the product. - Frontend boundaries don't stop us. If you need to reach into the API, the data, the design or a prototype of a business idea, you just do it (or pull in people who know how, and learn from them). - You're not alone. We work independently, but as one team. We're easily interchangeable, we know each other's code, and communication is our foundation. What you'll do? - Own and evolve FTMO's frontend together with the team: from new product features to the platform foundations everything else stands on. That also includes internal tools: optimize, automate and improve anything that needs it. - Work closely with designers, product people and all our other colleagues: shape what we build and why, not just how. - Come up with your own ideas with measurable impact, then prototype them, test them and push them forward. - Make architectural decisions: app structure, shared components and libraries, performance, quality, developer experience. - Work with AI tools and agents as a standard part of development, and help define what AI-native frontend development looks like here. - Be a knowledge multiplier: share what you learn, do code reviews, pair, mentor and raise the bar for others. - Sometimes there's a lot of work. Then the best memes get shared and things get finished. We know our limits, but we push them because we enjoy it. Who we're looking for? - You have experience, but we care about potential just as much. Next.js, TanStack Query and the rest of the stack are our baseline and don't need to be named. It's not about technologies these days, and we know it. - You have a feel for frontend architecture, performance, code quality and UX, and you care about getting the details perfect. - You bring product thinking: you can explain why something matters for the user, not just how it works technically. - You take initiative. If something is broken, you fix it. If you see an opportunity, you say it out loud. - You use AI as an everyday tool: assistants, prompts, agents, and you're always looking for a way to be faster and better. - You communicate openly and directly, without office politics. - You want to be in the office with us. We're not fully remote. We run 3/2, or 5/0 if you like. - You have a sense of humor. Dark is a bonus. Seriously. - You're curious about trading, fintech or the world of traders. You don't have to be a trader. Why join the FTMO team? - We are a Czech fintech that, since 2015, has grown from an idea into a global project. 🚀 - 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. - Prague, Národní třída. Enjoy our modern offices at the Quadrio shopping center, offering beautiful views and excellent accessibility. - What 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. - Free fruit, snacks, and coffee are always within reach in the office. - How do we promote strong relationships and well-being? Company cottage, team building events, and running club. - Flexible hybrid model. We prefer collaborating in person to keep the team spirit high, but we offer the flexibility you need to stay balanced. *The benefits mentioned above apply to FTMO on-site employees in our Prague office. ## About Ftmo ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: FTMO is a modern proprietary trading firm that provides traders with simulated capital to evaluate their skills and rewards them with up to 90% of simulated profits. - **Entity Type**: Private (Bootstrapped) - **Headquarters**: Prague, Czech Republic - **Founded**: 2015 - **Founders**: Not publicly disclosed (the company was founded by a team of trading and technology professionals) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Modern Proprietary Trading (Prop Trading) / Fintech - **Target customers**: B2C – individual retail traders globally, from beginners to experienced professionals - **Mission or purpose statement**: "To help talented traders grow and refine their trading skills" by providing a unique Evaluation Process and simulated trading environment with real rewards. ## Products & Services - **FTMO Challenge (2-Step)**: A structured evaluation process where traders prove their skills in a simulated environment.
