About the job

Role Overview

You’ll own core pieces of our product from Day 1. You’ll build consumer-grade interfaces that plug directly into DeFi protocols, aggregators, and crypto APIs. This is a high-ownership, high-intensity role working directly with the founding team.

We expect you to:

  • Lead development across the frontend and backend.
  • Integrate directly with leading DeFi protocols, aggregators, bridges, and data providers.
  • Contribute across the stack (Node.js, Postgres) to ship features end-to-end.
  • Operate with urgency and independence—identify problems, propose solutions, and execute.

What We’re Looking For

  • Raw Intelligence & Drive — We hire for brains, grit, and commitment over pedigree. Ten years of mediocrity can’t beat raw talent and obsession.
  • Proven Web3 Experience — 3–5+ years in crypto/Web3 (DEXs, wallets, aggregators), or exceptional proof of raw talent and curiosity.
  • Crystal clear communication—no translators.
  • Backend Brilliance — clean, secure, and scalable.
  • Front-End Expertise — Next.js, React, TailwindCSS. You can build interfaces people love.
  • Integration Mindset — You’ve connected sytems to crypto APIs, DeFi protocols, and aggregators.
  • Full-Stack Ability — Comfortable in Node.js/TypeScript, Postgres.
  • Startup Killer DNA — Self-starter, thrives in chaos, relentless problem-solver.

Nice to Haves

  • Account abstraction (ERC-7702 smart wallets).
  • Solana experience (Anchor, Web3.js).
  • Deep knowledge of DEX/AMM mechanics, bridges, liquidity.
  • Built products at scale (100k+ users).
  • UI/UX sensibility.

What to Expect

  • Ownership from Day 1 — You’ll own core parts of the product. Don't sit around waiting.
  • Direct Impact — Your code will shape how thousands interact with our platform.
  • High-Performance Environment — Maniacal urgency, no fluff, no politics.
  • Upside Potential — Exceptional performance is rewarded disproportionately.
  • Mission First Culture — We demand excellence. Camaraderie is secondary to winning.

Our Tech Stack

  • Frontend: Next.js, React, TailwindCSS
  • Backend: Node.js (TypeScript), REST/GraphQL, WebSockets, PostgreSQL, Redis
  • Web3: Ethers.js, Viem, integrations with DEXs, aggregators, bridges, yield protocols
  • Infra: Docker, Render, GitHub Actions, Cloudflare, PostHog

Application Requirements

  • Links to live products you’ve built or contributed to (highlight your role).
  • Evidence of Web3 integration work (code, screenshots, detailed writeups).
  • A list of APIs, protocols, and platforms you’ve integrated with.
  • (Optional) Design systems, UI libraries, or side projects that show your expertise.

Our interview process

We do not believe in traditional interview processes, and a practical experience is better for us to gauge your experience. Work trials are paid generously and we may fly you out to integrate with the team.
