Front-end Developer About the job

Do you feel passionate about making the web a better place? Do you thrive in an interesting environment with new problems to solve every day? Do you want to be part of a young and growing startup with a strong vision? Then join Unlock Inc as a front-end developer!

It's powered by NFTs (Non fungible tokens) that verify memberships.

This means that Unlock can be used to group together formerly distributed fanbases or accept and verify tickets to events and venues. Unlock Inc.

is the company behind the Unlock Protocol. We have built a core protocol on Ethereum and deployed other EVM networks. It is now used by companies such as  or creators like Camilla Russo and conferences such as EthCC. To make things easier for non-crypto users, we added credit card support and a dashboard that makes it easy to implement locks, membership details, and payment options.
