We’re building a fast, intuitive trading platform that makes on-chain markets accessible to everyone. As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you’ll help create the product experience our traders rely on every day—from live market data and wallet interactions to the services that power orders, positions, and portfolio analytics.
You’ll work closely with product, design, and protocol teams to ship high-quality features across the entire stack. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who enjoys owning a feature from initial design through production monitoring.
What you’ll do
- Design, build, and ship user-facing trading features across React/TypeScript front ends and Node.js backend services.
- Build seamless wallet connection, signing, transaction-status, and account flows for EVM and Solana users.
- Integrate on-chain protocols, RPC providers, indexing services, and smart-contract interactions into reliable product workflows.
- Stream prices, order updates, balances, positions, and PnL to the interface with low latency using WebSockets or similar real-time infrastructure.
- Design clear, versioned, well-documented APIs for internal product teams and external partners.
- Improve performance, reliability, and security across the trading experience, including transaction handling and error recovery.
- Write tests, participate in code review, deploy services, and monitor production systems.
- Collaborate with product and design to turn complex trading workflows into simple, polished user experiences.
What we’re looking for
- 4+ years of professional software engineering experience, including significant full-stack ownership.
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript, React, and Node.js.
- Experience building production web applications with SQL databases, caching layers, cloud infrastructure, and CI/CD workflows.
- Hands-on experience with Web3 libraries such as wagmi, viem, ethers, RainbowKit, or Solana wallet adapter.
- Practical experience with WebSockets, streaming data, or other low-latency real-time systems.
- Strong understanding of API design, authentication, observability, and secure handling of user assets and transactions.
- Excellent communication skills and comfort working in a fast-moving, cross-functional team.
Nice to have
- Experience building or contributing to a DEX, perpetuals platform, exchange, market-making system, or trading terminal.
- Familiarity with Solidity, Rust, Anchor, or smart-contract security fundamentals.
- Experience with order books, liquidity, execution, portfolio tracking, or market-data infrastructure.
- Strong UI craft, including attention to performance, accessibility, and responsive design.
- Experience with blockchain indexing, event processing, or cross-chain architecture.
What success looks like
Within your first six months, you’ll have shipped meaningful trading features end to end, improved the reliability of wallet and real-time data flows, and helped establish patterns that make the platform faster and easier to extend.
