Trading Systems Developer

StocksToTrade and Millionaire Publishing are seeking an experienced Trading Systems Developer to join our

fast-moving fintech and financial education ecosystem on a contract basis. This role sits at the intersection of

quantitative analysis, AI, and real-world trading - and is critical to helping our community of active traders

make smarter, faster decisions.

You will work closely with our trading and content teams to research, design, build, and validate custom

technical indicators and automated signals for platforms like TradingView. Day-to-day, you’ll be prototyping new

a collaborative, results-driven environment where good ideas ship fast.
