About the role

Accountabilities

    • Build pixel-perfect, production-ready interfaces using React and React Native, maintaining a high standard of visual and functional quality.
    • Translate Figma designs into accessible, responsive experiences while minimizing friction between design and engineering.
    • Create thoughtful animations, haptics, transitions, and micro-interactions that make digital experiences intuitive and engaging.
    • Contribute to and expand a scalable design system with reusable, accessible components across platforms.
    • Take concepts from early ideas and prototypes through implementation, testing, validation, and production release.
    • Develop AI-assisted and agentic workflows that improve design-to-code processes and increase engineering efficiency while maintaining quality standards.
    • Collaborate closely with designers, product managers, and engineers to solve complex interaction and frontend challenges.
    • Advocate for high-quality product craft and identify opportunities to improve usability, performance, accessibility, and overall user experience.
    • Balance attention to detail and product polish with practical delivery needs, making sound decisions about when to refine and when to ship.
    • Requirements

      • Proven experience as a senior frontend or design-focused engineer building and shipping high-traffic, consumer-facing products with React and React Native.
      • Strong proficiency in modern JavaScript and TypeScript, with experience designing scalable cross-platform frontend architectures.
      • Demonstrated expertise in frontend performance, accessibility, reusable UI patterns, and production-quality engineering.
      • A strong portfolio showcasing polished interfaces, interaction design, animations, motion, and micro-interactions rather than static screens alone.
      • Strong understanding of interaction and motion design, with the judgment to use animation and haptics purposefully rather than unnecessarily.
      • Advanced Figma literacy and the ability to interpret design files and translate detailed designs into production-ready code.
      • Experience contributing to or maintaining design systems and reusable component libraries.
      • Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development, agentic workflows, LLM-based tooling, or similar approaches to accelerating software development.
      • Experience with crypto wallets, blockchain, Web3 products, or related technologies is strongly preferred.
      • Strong autonomy, initiative, and judgment, with the ability to work effectively across a globally distributed and asynchronous team.
      • A collaborative mindset and strong communication skills, with the ability to work productively across engineering, design, and product disciplines.
      • Ability to balance technical excellence and design quality with pragmatic delivery and business priorities.
      • Benefits

        • Competitive US base salary ranging from $149,000 to $210,000 USD, excluding bonus, equity, and other benefits.
        • Equity participation, providing an opportunity to share in the organization’s long-term success.
        • Comprehensive and competitive benefits package designed to support employees and their families.
        • Flexible working arrangements within a remote-first environment.
        • Global collaboration with colleagues across multiple continents and time zones.
        • Unlimited vacation and holidays, with company-wide “zero productivity” days dedicated to rest and recharging.
        • Continuous learning and professional development opportunities through structured learning programs, Coursera access, and additional development resources.
        • Opportunities to build experience within the blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Web3 ecosystem.
        • Fully remote work environment designed around asynchronous collaboration and flexibility.
        • The opportunity to work on high-impact products serving millions of users and engage with emerging technologies shaping the future of the internet.
