Employment

Is it ethically wrong for me to continue an online job that promotes brands supporting Israel, especially since I need to invite others to join in order to earn more money to meet my financial obligations?

Supporting any company which supports killing the innocents is forbidden and the income earned from wrong is unlawful. You as a Muslim should support the innocents or at least refrain from supporting their murderers. We trust that our Rizq (sustenance) is from Allah only and not from others, so, we seek lawful income from Allah (SWT) only.

Employment . Software . Options trading

Is it permissible to work as a software engineer at a trading firm, where my role would be to develop the systems and tools used by the company for various types of trades, which may also include binary options?

You as a Muslim should be very careful not to be involved in unlawful business and your software should not be used in any type of transactions which are not permissible in Islam. Binary options are considered by many as a form of gambling rather than an investment because of their negative cumulative payout.
