Grab the opportunity to become a part of the most successful Czech fintech, FTMO. We are looking for an experienced software engineer who bridges the gap between traditional PHP development and cutting-edge AI orchestration. As our PHP SW Engineer & AI Evangelist, you will be a key player in revolutionising how our teams build software. Your primary mission is to transform the daily workflows of our PHP engineers, driving a significant increase in developer productivity. You will act as an early adopter and mentor, closely collaborating with our AI Lead to leverage advanced AI agents and tools, while keeping your hands firmly in the code of our core legacy systems.
What’s in store for you?

Evangelism & Mentorship: You will be the internal guide for our software engineering team. Recognising that some teammates may be conservative regarding AI, you will use your deep PHP knowledge to earn their trust, conducting hands-on workshops and pair-programming sessions to help them master AI-assisted development.

Hands-on Core Development: To be a credible evangelist, you must be a practitioner. You will spend a significant portion of your time working directly on the legacy PHP FTMO Core system, as well as on new microservices. Navigating this legacy codebase alongside the team is how you will anchor your AI solutions in reality.
-
Strategic Collaboration: You will cooperate closely with our AI Lead to align on broader technological strategies, acting as the boots-on-the-ground force that turns AI theory into deployed reality.
What do we expect from you, and what other tools do we use?
-
Advanced AI Tooling Expertise: You have demonstrable, advanced experience with cutting-edge AI coding assistants, specifically or . You understand the intricacies of agent orchestration and how to fine-tune AI environments for maximum code generation and refactoring efficiency.
