At Anchorage Digital, we are building the world’s most advanced digital asset platform for institutions to participate in crypto. Anchorage Digital is a crypto platform that enables institutions to participate in digital assets through custody, staking, trading, governance, settlement, and the industry's leading security infrastructure. Founded in 2017, Anchorage Digital has offices in San Francisco, New York, Porto, Singapore, and Sioux Falls.

You will work with the Engineering Manager, Product Manager, and the engineering team to plan, build, release, and maintain high-quality front-end experiences for the Atlas business. You will be a key driver of front-end architecture, technical direction, and engineering best practices.

• Architect and own front-end systems, establishing patterns and component libraries that scale across the Atlas platform
• Review code across the front-end engineering discipline while actively participating in product development and driving technical standards
• Foster an efficient, deterministic testing culture with an emphasis on minimizing tech debt
• Find elegant solutions to complex UI/UX problems, balancing user experience with technical constraints
• Implement high-quality, performant code that is clear, concise, and well‑tested
• Participate in on‑call rotations and troubleshoot, mitigate, and learn from production incidents

• Lead or significantly contribute to medium‑to‑large front‑end projects that cross team boundaries, coordinating with other engineers
• Break down large UI initiatives into smaller tasks and accurately estimate the scope of multi‑person projects
• Ship code that directly impacts institutional clients’ ability to settle digital assets safely at scale
• Find the right balance between progress (shipping quickly) and perfection (measuring twice)
• Drive technical decisions that shape the Atlas front‑end architecture

• Work across Atlas and adjacent product lines, understanding how front‑end systems integrate with backend services and the broader Anchorage platform
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with Product, Design, and Backend engineers
• Ensure knowledge is shared among the team and no one is positioned as a single point of failure
• Help scale the team through hiring, mentoring, and establishing best practices

• Mentor and guide other engineers on the team within front‑end specialization
• Work closely with Backend engineers to propose and review GraphQL API changes
• Collaborate with Product managers and designers to brainstorm and align on new features
• Influence architecture and product roadmap—have a seat at the table
• Use compelling arguments to convey insights and recommendations on technical direction

• 8+ years of professional experience building web applications and UIs, with deep expertise in React.js and Type Script
• Architected front‑end systems from scratch and supported them over meaningful periods of time
• Experience mentoring other engineers and driving technical standards across a team or organization
• Genuine care about code quality, test infrastructure, and developer experience
• Experience performing on‑call support for production systems
  
  Prioritize end‑user experience and business value over “cool tech”
• Developed “computer science fundamentals”—concurrency, algorithms, and data structures (formal CS degree not required)
• Self‑described as creative, humble, ambitious, detail‑oriented, hardworking, trustworthy, eager to learn, methodical, action‑oriented, and tenacious

• Production experience with web security (authentication, authorization, identity, API keys)
• Experience with system design for front‑end applications at scale
• Built a Chrome extension or other browser‑based tooling
• Professional experience with backend technologies (Go, C++, or similar)
• Read blockchain protocol white papers for fun and stay up to date with crypto‑asset innovations
• Background in the finance or cryptocurrency industries
