Senior Python / AI Trading Engineer
Worldwide
Seeking a senior Python engineer to build a safety-first options trading system that captures authorized Discord trade alerts, parses signals, pulls Charles Schwab market data, applies strict risk controls, previews approved trades, manages positions, reconciles with Schwab, and records performance. The system should include deterministic parsing with AI fallback, dry-run mode, duplicate-order prevention, crash recovery, stops, exits, partial fills, broker reconciliation, and a trade ledger with analytics and alerts. Development will occur through remote access to my controlled development environment, with OpenAI Codex available for AI-assisted coding. The developer must be able to direct, review, test, and debug Codex-generated code rather than blindly relying on AI. Code, repository, credentials, and infrastructure remain under my control. AI may assist with signal interpretation, but it must never bypass deterministic risk-management rules or independently authorize trades. Real broker-connected options execution experience is strongly preferred. Please start your proposal with “CODEX SCHWAB ENGINE” and include: 1. Brokerage APIs you have integrated 2. Charles Schwab API experience 3. Options automation experience 4. Risk-engine experience 5. How you prevent duplicate orders and recover from crashes 6. How you use Codex or other AI coding tools while validating generated code 7. Examples of similar broker-connected systems you have built
