We build the money side of FTMO: orders, payments, payouts, and the payment providers behind them. Every purchase goes through our code. A bad deploy here is not a broken button;, it is somebody's money, and the way we work reflects that.
We take coding agents seriously, not as an experiment or a shortcut. Most of our code is generated. Every change passes strict PHPStan with custom rules, schema-checked SQL, API breaking-change checks, AI review, and a human sign-off. Incidents went down while output went up. Secure enough for payments, fast enough to ship every week.
- Weekly sprints. Small scope, real output, every week.
- The team owns its process and its planning. Nobody hands us a process, and no process stays unless it helps.
- Ownership is expected and rewarded. If you see a better way to build, test, ship, or run something, bring it. Good ideas get adopted on merit, not on seniority.
- Agile that works. We keep the daily, planning, and retro because they work for us. We drop ceremonies that do not.
