Job description

About fomo

fomo is growing fast, now serving 2M+ users and backed by a $75M Series B (Index Ventures, with Union Square Ventures and Benchmark) at a $550M valuation.

About the team

You’ll be joining a team of 8 on the engineering side: 3 frontend engineers, 5 backend engineers. Everyone on the team is crypto-native with experience from companies like dYdX, Uniswap, and OpenSea. We have high standards for ourselves and the people we work with.

About the role

You’ll own our two primary app surfaces: our mobile app and our web app.

Our mobile app is an Expo app and our web app is a React Router + Vite app.

This is an exciting time to join as we prepare to take fomo to the next level. In the next few months we plan to:

• Add new order types

• Add new asset classes (examples: perpetuals, prediction markets)

• Double down on new social features

Engineers at fomo aren’t constrained to any specific area - while this is primarily a frontend role, we encourage engineers to make changes across the stack where it makes sense.

This role is in-person in NYC. We have a strong in-person culture and just moved into a new spacious office in Soho.

Minimum Qualifications

• Staff+ level engineer (6+ years of experience), deep understanding of React, able to come up with and execute on plans autonomously

Nice to Have:

• Has experience building in crypto (Solana or EVM experience preferred)

• Full-stack experience is a plus (our backend services are in TypeScript)

• AI-native. Most code at fomo today is written by agentic tools.

Personal crypto trading experience is a plus - everyone on our team trades, and it is what lets our product stand out amongst the competition.

Compensation and Benefits

• Competitive cash compensation and equity

• Comprehensive health insurance including medical, dental, and vision for you and your dependents; including tax savings benefits such as HSAs and FSAs

• 401(k) with match

• Group term life insurance

• Flexible time off

• Annual company offsites
