We’re building a Trading Terminal— a platform for reviewing and replaying trades, designed for prop firms and traders. It combines order flow visualization with replay, audit, and execution in one system. We work in a spec-driven way: we plan before we build. If you’re a senior engineer who actively trades and cares about building better trading tools, this role is for you.  The team We’re a small founding team: 2 co-founders and 1 engineer (you would be the second), plus part-time support in Product, DevOps, and Compliance + access to a senior Railsware Director with experience shipping many products. Yaroslav Lazor — engineering & product (previously worked on Calendly) Umar Ashraf — markets & distribution (runs a 4M+ YouTube trading channel, founder of Tradezella) What you’ll get Ownership — you’ll be involved in the full process: from specs to shipping. No ticket queue. Product connection — you’ll use the product yourself as a trader. AI-first team — we use AI as part of how we plan, research, and build, not just as a helper tool. Working style — flexible. We collaborate when needed and work independently when it’s more effective. We focus on results. Working style — outcome-driven. We combine synchronous collaboration with focused asynchronous work, choosing the approach that best supports effective outcomes.   Who we’re looking for A senior full-stack engineer who is also an active trader.
