Build production code for critical features, complex Web3 user journeys, and performance-sensitive areas
Design and improve secure integrations with backend services, blockchain APIs, wallet providers, signing flows, approvals, swaps, and transaction lifecycle management
Establish and uphold engineering standards for security, performance, accessibility, testing, and code quality
Drive secure-by-design engineering practices and improve the reliability and resilience of wallet-related functionality
Mentor frontend engineers through technical guidance, code reviews, hiring, onboarding, and ongoing development
Drive the adoption of AI-assisted engineering practices while maintaining rigorous engineering quality, security, and maintainability
Collaborate with product, design, backend, mobile, QA, and analytics teams to deliver scalable, reliable features and improve the long-term health of the platform
Who You Are
8+ years of professional frontend or full-stack development experience, including experience in a senior or technical leadership role
Strong knowledge of TypeScript and Angular, with experience building, shipping, and maintaining large or complex production web applications
Strong understanding of frontend architecture, state management, application design patterns, and performance optimisation
Experience integrating REST and Web3 APIs in production environments, including wallet providers, signing, multi-chain user experiences, and libraries such as ethers.js, viem, or web3.js
You have extensive practical experience using Cursor AI or comparable AI-native engineering environments
Experience applying secure engineering practices, threat modelling principles, and securely handling sensitive user and wallet-related data in production environments
Experience with Git, CI/CD pipelines, collaborative code review processes, and AI-assisted engineering workflows with appropriate quality controls
Experience mentoring engineers, raising engineering standards, and communicating effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Strong ownership mindset and problem-solving skills
Nice to haves
