You'll be joining a team of nine on the engineering side: 4 frontend engineers, 5 backend engineers. Everyone on the team is crypto-native with experience from companies like dYdX, Uniswap, and Open Sea. We have high standards for ourselves and the people we work with.

Backend engineers at fomo work on a little bit of everything across all areas of the business - from crypto infra to social network scaling. Some things our engineers spend time thinking about:

• Trade execution and infrastructure

• Onchain data ingestion and portfolio tracking

• Social network content recommendation engines

• Analytics data ingestion and analysis

• Infrastructure scaling and optimization

Our stack is mainly a Type Script/Go microservices architecture (with a little bit of Rust).

Engineers at fomo aren't constrained to any specific area - while this is primarily a backend opening, we encourage our backend engineers to contribute to the frontend when it makes sense (and vice-versa).

This role is in-person in NYC. We have a strong in-person culture and just moved into a new spacious office in Soho.

• Staff+ level engineer (6+ years of experience), able to come up with and execute on plans autonomously

• Has experience building in crypto (Solana or EVM experience preferred)

• Full-stack (React) experience is a plus

Personal crypto trading experience is a plus - everyone on our team trades, and it is what lets our product stand out amongst the competition.
