  • Optimize frontend services using ReactJS and NextJS for maximum latency, throughput, and fault tolerance.
  • Operate close to real-time market data, ensuring the user interface accurately and reliably reflects real money, real volume, and real risk.

  • Financial Infrastructure Experience: Demonstrated experience building interfaces for trading, exchange, or financial infrastructure where data integrity and speed are non-negotiable.
  • Web3/Crypto Knowledge: Deep experience working on Crypto Wallets, or at the very least, a strong, fundamental understanding of crypto wallet integration, transaction signing, and blockchain interaction principles.
  • Technical Excellence: Strong systems and performance intuition, specifically related to web application optimization, rendering, and API communication.
  • Ownership and Drive: High ownership and the ability to thrive in a high-pressure, fast-moving environment, comfortable working long hours on hard problems.
  • Tech Stack Proficiency: Expertise in our core stack: ReactJS and NextJS.
  • Location: Must be based in Asia to align with the team's core operational hours and region.
