Prop Firm Match Global FZCO is the leading platform for discovering, comparing, and selecting proprietary trading firms. We help traders make confident, informed decisions through side-by-side comparisons, verified reviews, and data-backed insights. With 100,000+ monthly visitors and a globally distributed team of 62, we are scaling fast - and the technology organization needs to match that pace.. ๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฅ๐. The Head of Development owns PFM's engineering organization end-to-end. This is a high-ownership role for someone who leads from the front - writing code, making architectural decisions, and building with AI at their side. You will set the technical bar, drive consistent delivery, and be the bridge between engineering and company leadership. In a fast-moving environment, priorities shift without warning. You are expected to adapt immediately, re-prioritize without friction, and always be thinking 10 steps ahead - anticipating architectural needs, scaling challenges, and product directions before they are formally asked for. We expect you to be deeply hands-on with Claude Code and AI-assisted development: not as a buzzword, but as a core part of how you work every day.. We are not looking for someone who simply manages a team. We are looking for a builder - someone who ships fast, holds the bar high, and uses AI as a genuine force multiplier. You will own engineering end-to-end, integrate Claude Code and AI- assisted workflows into every layer of development, and drive Prop Firm Match into its next phase of growth. Priorities shift. Requirements evolve. The roadmap moves. You must be able to adapt instantly, anticipate what is coming before it is asked, and always be thinking 10 steps ahead of the current feature set. Excuses are not part of the culture. Speed, dependability, flexibility, and relentless innovation are.. ๐๐๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ซ๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ | ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ-๐ก๐๐ฏ๐ย . ๐๐ป๐ด๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ณ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป . โธย 10+ years building and scaling production applications.
