About TradeVerge AI

Who you'd be joining.

TradeVerge AI builds verified, rules-based automation for the gold market. Our flagship product, Gold Core, is a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor with a public, third-party-verified track record on Myfxbook and thousands of members inside our live desk. We are a small, remote-first team that prefers evidence to opinion: every claim we publish is auditable, every release is versioned, and every support answer is written by someone who understands the code.

We do not run a pressure sales floor. Prospects arrive already able to check our track record, so the job is qualification, honest explanation and making sure nobody buys something that is wrong for their capital or jurisdiction.

Why this role matters

Retail built the track record; institutional licensing is the next growth curve. This is a founding sales seat with the room that implies.

What you'll actually do

The day-to-day, not the job-spec version.

  • Own the full institutional sales cycle from outbound through contract
  • Run technical demos alongside engineering and research
  • Structure licensing terms with legal and finance
  • Feed market requirements back into the roadmap

The team and how you'll work

You'll work inside revenue, reporting to the lead for sales, and partner day to day with Marketing, Support, Compliance.

We are async-first across European and American time zones. Expect a short daily written check-in, one team sync a week, and long stretches of uninterrupted focus in between.

Decisions are written before they are made. If a change reaches members, there is a document explaining why, what we expect, and how we'll know if we were wrong.

Tools you'll live in: CRM (HubSpot/Attio) · Stripe · Loom · Our own dashboards.

Your first 90 days

What a good start looks like — we'll agree this with you in week one.

Days 1–30
Orient and get your hands dirty
  • Complete onboarding with revenue: environments, access, and a walkthrough of how Gold Core actually behaves on a live account.
  • Read the last two release memos end to end so you understand the standard of evidence we hold ourselves to.
  • Ship one small, real improvement in your area — scoped with your manager in week one.
  • Meet everyone you'll work with regularly across Marketing, Support, Compliance.
Days 31–60
Own a surface
  • Take full ownership of a defined area and become the person the rest of the team asks about it.
  • Deliver your first substantial piece of work end to end, including the written rationale behind it.
  • Identify the two weakest things in your area and put a fix for one of them on the roadmap.
Days 61–90
Set the standard
  • Run your area independently, with your manager reviewing outcomes rather than steps.
  • Improve one process or piece of tooling so the next person does the job faster than you did.
  • Agree the next two quarters of objectives with clear, measurable success criteria.

How success is measured

No vague reviews — these are the things we'll actually talk about.

  • Conversion from qualified conversation to licence
  • Refund and chargeback rate stays low — a sign we sold honestly
  • Pipeline hygiene: the CRM reflects reality

Nice to have

Genuinely optional — strong candidates rarely tick every box.

  • Prop-firm or fund network
  • Multilingual

Compensation and benefits

£65k base + £65k OTE — the band is set by level, published up front and paid the same regardless of how hard you negotiate. Reviewed annually, plus an out-of-cycle review if your scope changes.

  • Fully remote, async-first — we optimise for deep work, not meeting attendance
  • Competitive base plus performance bonus tied to shipped outcomes
  • Private medical cover (US/UK) and a health stipend elsewhere
  • £/$2,000 annual learning budget for research, data and conferences
  • Top-spec hardware, multi-monitor setup and VPS/data subscriptions covered

How hiring works

Five stages, roughly ten days end to end.

  1. 01Intro call (30 min) — your background, what you want to build next
  2. 02Craft interview (60 min) — a real problem from our backlog, no whiteboard trivia
  3. 03Paid take-home or working session (4–6 hrs, compensated)
  4. 04Team conversation with two people you'd work with daily
  5. 05Offer, usually within 10 days of the first call

We are looking for consultative honesty and knowing when to talk someone out of buying. Everything in our process is designed to surface that rather than test recall.

The craft interview uses a real, recent problem from our backlog. You may use any resource you would use on the job, including documentation and AI tools — we care how you think, not what you memorised.

Take-home work is paid at a fair hourly rate and capped so it never eats a weekend.

You will get a decision, with reasons, after every stage. We do not ghost.

Questions people ask

Do I need to be in United Kingdom?
We're hiring this role in London (hybrid). You can work from home most of the week; we don't require daily office attendance.
Is the salary range real?
Yes — £65k base + £65k OTE is the band we will actually pay for this role, set by level rather than by how hard you negotiate. We tell you where in the band an offer sits and why.
Do I need trading experience?
You need curiosity about markets and the discipline to treat claims as testable. Direct trading experience helps in research, engineering and support roles; in most others we can teach the domain far faster than we can teach craft.
How long does the process take?
Usually around ten days from the first call to an offer. If you have a competing deadline, tell us and we will compress it.
What if I don't match every requirement?
Apply anyway. The requirement lists describe the shape of a strong candidate, not a checklist. If you're strong on the core of the role, we would rather see your application than not.
Equal opportunity. We hire on evidence of capability alone. We welcome applicants of every background and will make reasonable adjustments at any stage — just tell us what you need.
