We are an early-stage, venture-backed team building operational software for hedge funds in digital assets. Our platform streamlines key fund workflows end-to-end.

As Frontend Developer, you will take full ownership of the front-end as we extend functionality and scale to more clients.

Role Overview

You will own the front-end codebase: architecting React components, integrating REST APIs, and translating Figma designs into a polished, responsive UI. You will work closely with a small back-end team and have direct input on product decisions.

  • Develop and maintain a modern React + TypeScript application.
  • Implement routing, code-splitting, and loading states with React Router.
  • Design effective state management using Redux, Zustand, Recoil, or Context where appropriate.

  • Handle data fetching and caching via React Query or SWR; manage optimistic updates and error states.
  • Write unit and component tests (Jest, React Testing Library).
  • Collaborate with product and back-end engineers on API contracts and front-end standards.

Requirements

  • 3+ years building production React applications.
  • Strong TypeScript skills and understanding of hooks and component composition.
  • Hands-on experience with at least one state-management library beyond Context.
  • Proven ability to implement pixel-perfect designs and responsive layouts.
  • Comfortable consuming REST APIs and handling authentication flows.
  • Familiarity with front-end testing practices.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with design-system tools.
  • Exposure to financial-tech or data-intensive dashboards.
  • End-to-end testing (Cypress, Playwright).

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity.
  • Remote-first culture.
  • Hardware budget.
  • Opportunity to influence architecture, tooling, and UI standards from the ground up.
