Principal Front-End Engineer

As a Principal Frontend Engineer, you won't just be building interfaces, you will be the architectural lead for our DeFi ecosystem. You will solve the hardest problem in the space: masking the complexity of blockchain backend constraints to deliver a seamless, consumer-grade UX.

You will join a collaborative, cross-functional team of friendly, adaptable, creative, and product-minded engineers who are passionate about building high-quality, user-centric software that delivers real impact.

Your Opportunity

• Shape the vision and strategy of our products by contributing to the roadmap and acting as a sounding board for technical leadership.
• Exercise cross-functional leadership, acting as the bridge between full-stack engineers, R&D engineers, and product specialists to deliver robust, production-grade services.
• Define the architecture, and implement scalable, reusable UI frameworks that power complex DeFi apps and blockchain products.
• Drive innovation by experimenting with new systems, design patterns, and tooling, while advocating for continuous improvement and engineering best practices.

We're Looking For

• Extensive software development experience, including building and maintaining user-facing production systems.
• Frontend expertise, with deep understanding of React (ideally with Next.js), TypeScript and responsive UI design.
• Strong UI architecture skills, with the ability to apply design patterns to build simple, reusable components.
• Ability to prototype rapidly to validate ideas, then promote successful features into robust, production-grade architecture.
• Cloud experience, including hands-on work with cloud providers (ideally GCP, but AWS/Azure are acceptable).
• A tooling expert who leverages modern tooling and AI-assisted workflows (Copilot, Cursor, etc.) to accelerate personal and team velocity.
• Deep understanding of browser internals, the critical rendering path, the DOM, and networking optimizations.

Nice to Have:

• Experience launching greenfield products from scratch.
• Technical understanding of blockchain technologies including DeFi and EVM ecosystem.
