The role involves building web applications and APIs for blockchain-based investment products, optimizing front-end performance, and collaborating cross-functionally while maintaining technical excellence.
About the company
Hi, we're Ondo Finance. Our mission is to provide institutional-grade, blockchain-enabled investment products and services. We have both a technology arm that develops decentralized finance technology, and an asset management arm that creates and manages tokenized funds. We were the first company to tokenize exposure to US Treasuries, and have since expanded into several other assets, including tokenized stocks and ETFs. We are also focused on incubating protocols that can support both tokenized real-world assets and traditional crypto.
Founded by folks from Goldman Sachs Digital Assets Team, we’re backed by some of the best investors in the world including Founders Fund, Coinbase Ventures, Pantera Capital, Tiger Global, and more. We are currently the leaders in the space in terms of AUM and are well capitalized to continue growing the firm. We're fully remote, with team members across the U.S.
About the role
Our Front-End / Web team is focused on building web applications and APIs enabling people to access and interact with complex investment products across multiple blockchains (ex. Ethereum, Arbitrum, Solana, Sui, Aptos). The team works on a wide breadth of Ondo products (ex. Onboarding, Mint/Redeem experience for USDY & OUSG (Yield Assets), Tokenized Stocks and ETFs (Ondo Global Markets), Portfolio Experience, Bridge, Flux Finance).
You’ll be joining a small but fast-growing team with a wide breadth of responsibilities, working across the stack to execute on new features and products. You’ll do this while maintaining a high level of technical excellence in our code quality and delivered solutions. Due to the nature of our blockchain-enabled RWA investment products, you will have the opportunity to help us build at the forefront of web2 <> web3 experiences to usher in the next big wave of on-chain capital.
Responsibilities
• Design and implement user-friendly interfaces that provide seamless and secure user experiences for interacting with on and off-chain data.
• Integrate and develop web3 libraries and frameworks to enable interaction with blockchain networks, including wallet connections, smart contract interactions, and transaction management. Prior experience in web3 is strongly preferred, but not required for fast, eager learners.
• Optimize front-end code for performance, ensuring fast load times and smooth interactions, while considering the unique challenges of blockchain data retrieval and integration.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Product and Design, to understand project requirements and translate them into technical specifications.
• Define and build API endpoints and services required for front-end functionality, ensuring efficient communication between front-end and back-end components.
• Implement external system integrations that support our web applications and operations team.
• Assist in the evaluation and integration of third-party libraries, tools, and frameworks that can streamline the development process and improve the overall quality of the product.
• Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in Web3 and blockchain technologies, and proactively suggest improvements to enhance the user experience and technical architecture.
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to a culture of ownership, collaboration, and technical excellence
Requirements
• 4+ years of software engineering experience contributing to production codebases in Node.js/React/Javascript (Typescript)
• 1+ years of experience or demonstrated interest (side projects) in developing decentralized applications
• Based in PT, MT, CT, or ET time zones
• Bachelor's degree or significant coursework in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with changing needs and requirements
• Solid fundamental knowledge of web application, API, and web3 development
• A dedication to continuous learning and a commitment to best practices across the whole technology stack
• A strong team player with excellent communication skills both written and verbal
• An Engineering generalist who is excited to learn new things and share their knowledge with his/her team
• Demonstrated interest in crypto — building, investing, yield farming, minting, voting, or whatever excites you in the space
Nice to haves
• 1+ years of experience building crypto-native / web3 projects deployed on an EVM mainnet — especially using React, Node, and JavaScript (TypeScript); experience in DeFi, Solidity, TheGraph, serverless, cloud infrastructure (AWS), testing, or security are a plus
What we offer
• Competitive compensation including salary, future token rights, and/or equity (according to your preferences) — we're well-funded and believe that great talent deserves great compensation
• Full benefits (medical, vision, and dental) and flexible vacation policy (PTO)
• Small remote-first team across many countries — you'll be an early team member helping shape our vision, culture, and design practices
• A+ colleagues — our team includes alumni from: Goldman Sachs, Blackrock, Two Sigma, Bridgewater, SpaceX, AWS, Meta, Google, Pinterest, McKinsey, Circle, Uniswap, Phantom
• Best-in-class investors — we are proud to be backed by leading crypto experts and VCs, including Pantera Capital, Founders Fund and Coinbase Ventures
