Who We Are

NEXT Ventures is where ambition takes shape and movement becomes momentum. As a global platform revolutionising access to performance-based capital, we empower the world’s most driven individuals to rise. Through our flagship brand, FundedNext, we empower dreamers to become doers, and potential to turn into performance. With 500+ driven minds across five countries, we power a global rhythm—220,000+ daily users from 170+ nations, each chasing greatness in their own way.

Your Role in Our Mission

As a Senior Full Stack Engineering Lead, you will own the design, development, and scaling of FundedNext’s core brokerage technology — from order execution pipelines to social trading platforms and CRM infrastructure. You’ll lead the Trading & Instruments Squad, ensuring our systems deliver sub‑50ms execution latency, 99.95% uptime, and a seamless client experience across forex, CFDs, indices, commodities, and futures. This is a high‑accountability leadership role for someone who thrives on building mission‑critical trading infrastructure from the ground up.

How You’ll Make An Impact

Order & Execution Management

Own the end‑to‑end design and development of OMS/EMS systems — ensuring reliable order routing, execution, and position management.
Architect trade execution pipelines covering validation, price aggregation, LP routing, fill confirmation, and post‑trade processing.
Design and implement swap management systems — including overnight financing charges, Islamic account logic, and daily settlement accuracy.

Copy Trading, PAMM/MAM & Social Trading

Build and own copy trading solutions — enabling configurable allocation, risk controls, and real‑time synchronization.
Architect PAMM/MAM systems — supporting fund managers with allocation models, performance fee calculations, and investor reporting.
Design social trading platforms — including trader profiles, leaderboards, strategy marketplaces, and community engagement features.

Brokerage Infrastructure & CRM

Build and maintain in‑house brokerage CRM — client lifecycle management, KYC, IB hierarchies, and operational workflows.
Develop instrument management layers — supporting 300+ instruments with spread, leverage, margin, and session configuration.
Own integration with liquidity providers, bridge technology, and price feed aggregation for competitive execution.
Build back‑office tools — dashboards for position monitoring, risk exposure, trade corrections, and compliance reporting.

Leadership & Stakeholder Management

Lead the Trading & Instruments Squad — sprint planning, technical direction, and cross‑squad coordination.
Manage stakeholder relationships with trading operations, risk, compliance, and leadership — translating business needs into technical delivery.
Establish coding standards, architecture patterns, and documentation for scalable trading systems.
Own the technology roadmap for trading and instruments, aligning technical priorities with brokerage business goals.

What You Bring

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Financial Engineering, or related field.
7+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 3 years at a forex brokerage or retail trading platform (mandatory).
Proven hands‑on experience building brokerage technology in‑house (OMS/EMS, execution engines, copy trading, PAMM/MAM, CRM).
Expert‑level proficiency in C++, Python, PHP for high‑throughput, low‑latency trading backends.
Solid proficiency in Node.js for real‑time services and Next.js for dashboards and client interfaces.
Deep understanding of forex/CFD market microstructure — order types, execution models, liquidity aggregation, spreads, swaps, margin, and leverage.
Experience with FIX protocol and LP APIs for order routing and price feeds.
Experience building copy trading/social trading features and PAMM/MAM fund management models.
Strong database architecture skills (MySQL/PostgreSQL) for high‑frequency trade data and audit‑ready ledgers.
Experience customizing brokerage CRM systems — onboarding, IB hierarchies, KYC, and dashboards.
2+ years in technical leadership — running sprints, mentoring engineers, managing dependencies, and representing squads.
Excellent stakeholder management skills in brokerage contexts.
Understanding of regulatory frameworks (MiFID II, CySEC, FCA, or equivalent).

Your X‑Factor

Ensuring execution speed, reliability, and trader trust at scale.
By owning OMS/EMS, copy trading, PAMM/MAM, and social trading systems, it directly drives client acquisition, engagement, and retention.
Leadership of the Trading & Instruments Squad sets the technical direction for mission‑critical systems, aligning engineering delivery with business growth and compliance.
The position transforms brokerage technology into a strategic differentiator, enabling FundedNext to compete globally as a high‑volume retail trading platform.
