We are looking for an experienced Senior Frontend Engineer to join a small but fast-growing Frontend Engineering team that is responsible for building highly robust and seamless product features that analyze blockchain transaction activity at a massive scale. As an early member of the team, you will be deeply involved in the technical details and ultimately champion your team to build a safer financial system for billions of people.

• Building a large-scale web application that manages billions of transactions using React and Redux

• Working with Backend Engineers, Designers, and Product to build features and ship product

• Finding and addressing performance issues

• Participating in code and design reviews

• Developing a deep understanding of crypto and blockchain to inform product design and direction

• Collaborating with product lead and customers to define a new category of enterprise software

• Staying current on frontend best practices

• Knack for great design and intuitive UX

• Strong Computer Science fundamentals

• Extensive experience modern front end frameworks (e.g., Vue.js, React.js) and CSS-in-JS libraries (e.g., styled-components)

• Experience designing and building data heavy front-end applications

• Experience with virtual currencies, applications, and their use in financial networks and blockchain analysis is a plus

• Adaptable. Goals can change fast. You anticipate and react quickly.

• Autonomous. You own what you work on. You move fast and get things done.

• Excellent communication. You will need to communicate complex ideas effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences, both verbally and in writing

• Collaborative. You must work collaboratively in a cross-functional team and with people at all levels in an organization

• The team operates on a weekly sprint schedule. Individuals on the team are tasked to lead projects as technical anchors, and given a chance to grow and take ownership according to their level and goals.

• We work closely with product, design, and with our engineering partners in data platform teams to deliver impactful features to customers and the company.

• The team’s timezone is a mix of EST and PST, with at least 6 hours of overlap with PST (8 am to 2 pm PST).

• On Call:
  We have an on-call rotation that is approximately one week every 16 weeks.

• Frontend usually doesn't get pager duty alerts but gets frontend issues from customer support channels and the on-call is responsible for triaging if it is a frontend bug or sometimes really a backend issue.

• It gets busy during some on-call weeks but has not been wake-up from sleep type of alerts.

• Ruthless Prioritization & Adaptability
  :
  We adapt quickly when faced with new information. For example, an engineer may message the PM or EM to prioritize Task A vs. Task B in the middle of the sprint – we don’t let inertia guide our decisions. Instead we focus on ruthless prioritization and pivot quickly as needed.

• Challenging Timelines (Execution Pressure):
  An engineer questions a teammate’s proposed 3-week timeline, and constructively argues for condensing it to 2 weeks—backed by rationale, tradeoffs, and a plan to reduce scope or increase velocity. They show ownership of delivery speed and willingness to push for urgency.

• Time-Boxed Spiking (Rapid Learning & Decision-Making):
  An engineer proposes a 1-week spike with a clear time-box and success criteria to explore implementation options or validate feasibility through a proof of concept. They demonstrate speed not just in execution, but in de-risking decisions early.

• Individual pay is determined by skills, qualifications, experience, and location. The compensation details…
