Job Title: Full-Stack Developer (Trading Platform)

Location: Nigeria
Employment Type: Full-time

Job Summary

RankReform.com is seeking a skilled Full-Stack Developer to design and build a demo trading platform that emulates a modern web trading terminal. The platform will feature a real-time candlestick chart, a market watch list, trade ticket functionality (buy/sell), user authentication, and an admin panel for managing instruments and demo accounts. While this will be a demo platform (not for real-money trading), it must mimic the behavior and appearance of a real trading interface with smooth chart updates, order simulation, and a performance-optimized UI.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop a web-based trading terminal UI with sections such as Market Watch, Chart area, Trade Ticket, and Orders History.

• Implement a candlestick charting system with multiple timeframes (1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, etc.), basic indicators, and live updates.

• Create a demo market data flow, including a synthetic price generator or historical replay, with real-time updates via WebSockets.

• Simulate trading actions such as Buy/Sell, position creation, order history, PnL calculation, and margin preview (for demo logic).

• Implement secure user authentication, role management (admin/user), and account/profile management features.

• Build backend APIs for instruments, candles/OHLC, orders, positions, and account balances.

• Develop an admin dashboard for managing instruments, spreads, leverage, and demo account funding.

• Ensure the platform’s architecture is clean, well-documented, and the codebase is maintainable.

• Deploy and maintain the platform on cloud hosting platforms (e.g., DigitalOcean, AWS, Vercel), with SSL and basic monitoring.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Master’s Degree or equivalent experience.

• Strong proficiency in:

  • JavaScript/TypeScript (React, Next.js)

  • Backend development using Node.js (Express/NestJS) or Python (FastAPI/Django)

  • WebSockets and real-time data streaming

  • Working with charting libraries like TradingView Lightweight Charts, ECharts, or similar

  • REST API design and integration

  • Databases such as PostgreSQL/MySQL (experience with Redis is an advantage)

• Solid understanding of candlestick/OHLC data and timeframe aggregation.

• Basic knowledge of trading concepts (e.g., bid/ask, spread, leverage, margin, PnL) for simulation purposes.

• Experience with deploying production web apps and managing hosting environments (Linux, Nginx, SSL).

• Strong debugging skills with the ability to deliver stable features on schedule.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Nice to Have

• Experience building dashboards or data-heavy user interfaces.

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and GitHub Actions.

• Experience implementing indicators (e.g., MA/RSI/MACD) or order types (e.g., limit/stop) in demo mode.

• UI/UX expertise for designing the layout and optimizing performance of a “trading terminal.”

What We Offer

• Salary: Competitive, ranging from N220,000 to N250,000 per month, based on experience.
  IMPORTANT: We cannot offer salaries exceeding N250,000/month. Please do not apply if your expected salary is higher.

• Flexible remote work (Nigeria-based).

• An opportunity to contribute to the development of a serious product MVP with real-world use cases.

• Access to tools, hosting resources, and a collaborative work environment.

• Growth opportunities and long-term potential based on performance.

Application Closing Date: Not Specified.
