Job Description

Senior Front-End Engineer (DeFi / Real-Time Systems)

Fully Remote | EU Timezone 

 

$150,000 – $175,000 + Equity

 

We’re partnering with a cutting-edge, product-led Web3 / DeFi company building a real-time trading platform used by sophisticated, high-volume users.

 

This is a senior, hands-on frontend role where you’ll take ownership of a highly performant, data-intensive user interface powering a next-generation decentralised network. You’ll be joining a fully remote, elite engineering team working at speed on complex, low-latency systems.

 

If you thrive in fast-moving environments, care deeply about performance and code quality, and enjoy solving hard technical problems — this one’s for you.

 

What You’ll Do

  • Design and build high-performance, real-time frontend applications handling live market data (order books, pricing, executions)

  • Own frontend architecture using modern React & TypeScript, ensuring scalability and maintainability

  • Optimise performance for latency-sensitive, data-heavy interfaces

  • Collaborate closely with backend engineers, product, and design to deliver seamless user experiences

  • Implement best practices around testing, state management, accessibility, and responsiveness

  • Contribute to architectural decisions in a highly autonomous, senior team

What You’ll Have

  • 6+ years of frontend engineering experience (8+ years strongly preferred)

  • Deep expertise in JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and modern frontend architecture

  • Proven experience building real-time applications (WebSockets or similar protocols)

  • Strong performance optimisation mindset (rendering, data flow, resource management)

  • Solid testing discipline (unit, integration, end-to-end)

  • Comfortable working remotely in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment

Nice to have:

  • Experience in fintech, trading, or real-time financial systems

  • Knowledge of Next.js, SSR, PWAs

  • Exposure to Web3 frontend tooling (ethers / viem)

  • Familiarity with CI/CD and cloud-based delivery pipelines

What’s In It For You

  • $150,000 – $175,000 base salary

  • Equity via token-based incentives (sliding scale)

  • Fully remote role (EU timezone)

  • Work on technically challenging, real-world systems

  • High ownership, real impact, and influence on product direction

  • Join a small, elite team with an ambitious roadmap and serious engineering standards
