Python Developer Needed for IBKR API Debugging & Automation

Full Stack Developer is needed in Philippines.

I’m developing an automated trading system in Python that integrates with Interactive Brokers (IBKR) API for trade execution, hedge fund monitoring, volatility analysis, and risk management. The core system is already developed, but we are facing a system shutdown issue upon initialization (“Persistence Manager Connection Closed”).

I need a Python developer with IBKR API expertise to:
-Debug & Fix the shutdown issue preventing continuous execution.
-Ensure Live IBKR Market Data Integration for real-time trade execution.
-Optimize Code for Stability & Performance (multi-threading, async processing).
-Verify API Calls & Order Execution to confirm functionality.

Ideal Candidate Requirements:
-Strong Python experience, especially in debugging & multi-threading.
-Proven IBKR API experience (TWS, Gateway, order execution).
-Familiarity with automated trading, algorithmic strategies, and market data feeds.
-Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and provide clear documentation of fixes.

Deliverables:
-A fully functional system that runs without shutting down.
-Live market data integration ensuring seamless execution.
-Stable trade execution & API optimization.
-Documentation of fixes & recommendations for system improvements.

If you have experience working with Python trading systems and IBKR API, we’d love to hear from you! Please provide examples of relevant projects or experience when applying.

I’m in Cebu and prefer working with a local developer who can meet in person when needed. While some tasks can be handled remotely, having an in-person collaboration option would be ideal for troubleshooting and ensuring smooth integration. I’d like to start with an initial test project at $20/hour for 5 hours to assess how efficiently you can resolve the IBKR API issue. If you perform well and can solve the problem effectively, there’s potential for ongoing work at a competitive rate.

Can you provide examples of your preferred style?
This is a software development project focused on Python and IBKR API integration. No specific style examples are needed, but I’m looking for developers with experience in automated trading systems, API integration, and debugging similar to IBKR-based projects. If you have relevant past work, please share examples of similar projects you’ve completed.

Who are you, and what do you do
I’m an independent entrepreneur developing an automated trading system. While I’m not a developer, I’ve designed the entire system architecture and trading logic, using AI-assisted development to bring the concept to life. I’m now looking for an experienced Python developer to refine and finalize the execution, ensuring smooth integration with IBKR API. This is a personal project, but it has significant potential for future expansion.
