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.

- Backend: Node.js (TypeScript), REST/GraphQL, WebSockets, PostgreSQL, Redis
- Web3: Ethers.js, Viem, integrations with DEXs, aggregators, bridges, yield protocols

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.
