Job description

Do You Cry Tears of Joy When You See a Perfectly Centered Div?

Do You Think “Pixel-Perfect” Should Be a Legally Binding Contract?

If you answered yes to either of the above, keep reading. You might be my clients kind of crazy.

It's a next-generation DeFi protocol, which is a fancy way of saying they’re building the financial future and it needs to not look like crap. They’re looking for a Senior Front End Engineer who understands that in DeFi, the “Front End” is the only “End” most users will ever see (unless everything breaks, then they see Twitter/X).

Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It:

• Turn breathtaking Figma designs into breathtaking, responsive, actually-working web apps.
• Make complex blockchain interactions feel as smooth as ordering a suspiciously cheap latte. Users should swap tokens, not swear words.
• Wrestle with Web3 libraries, wallets, and gas estimations until they submit to your will.
• Be the voice of reason that says, “No, we cannot animate the entire UI to look like a burning yacht,” but also the visionary who makes the data charts sing.

Why They Won’t Totally Annoy You:

• A Backend That Doesn’t Suck: Their devs speak more than just “protocol.” They promise not to send you JSON that looks like it was formatted by a feral raccoon. (We have this in writing)
• Real Problems, Not Pretend Ones: Forget endless todo apps. You’ll be building the interface for billions in liquidity. Your grandma still won’t understand what you do, but she’ll be impressed by the word “billions.”
• The Usual Bribe Package: Competitive salary, tokens (the kind you hope moon), remote-friendly vibes, and a budget for hardware that won’t make you weep.

You Are:

• A wizard with React, TypeScript, and the mystical arts of state management.
• Someone who sees a “minor CSS tweak” request and doesn’t immediately draft their resignation letter.
• Intrigued by the wild west of Web3 UX, and brave enough to try and civilize it.
• Able to explain what a “DEX” is without using the words “magic internet money” or sighing for 30 seconds.
