Senior Full-Stack Engineer (Web3)

About the company

Hi, we're Ondo Finance. Our mission is to provide institutional-grade, blockchain-enabled investment products and services. We have both a technology arm that develops decentralized finance technology, and an asset management arm that creates and manages tokenized funds. We are the first and current market leader in tokenizing exposure to US Treasuries and are continuously rolling out new tokenized real world assets. We are also focused on incubating protocols that can support both tokenized real-world assets and traditional crypto. We're fully remote, with team members across the U.S.

About the role

Our Front-End / Web team is focused on building web applications and APIs enabling people to access and interact with complex investment products across multiple blockchains (ex. Ethereum, Arbitrum, Solana, Sui, Aptos). The team works on existing Ondo products (ex. Onboarding, Mint/Redeem experience for USDY & OUSG, Portfolio Experience, Bridge, Flux Finance) as well as future-facing projects (ex. trading tokenized stocks and ETFs on Ondo Global Markets)

You’ll be joining a small but fast-growing team with a wide breadth of responsibilities, working across the stack to execute on new features and products. You’ll do this while maintaining a high level of technical excellence in our code quality and delivered solutions. Due to the nature of our blockchain-enabled RWA investment products, you will have the opportunity to help us build at the forefront of web2 web3 experiences to usher in the next big wave of on-chain capital. 

This position requires Front-End expertise, so strong experience in React/TypeScript is a must as well as familiarity in working with other parts of the stack.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement user-friendly interfaces that provide seamless and secure user experiences for interacting with on and off-chain data.

• Integrate Web3 libraries and frameworks to enable interaction with blockchain networks, including wallet connections, smart contract interactions, and transaction management. Prior experience in web3 is strongly preferred, but not required for fast, eager learners.

• Optimize front-end code for performance, ensuring fast load times and smooth interactions, while considering the unique challenges of blockchain data retrieval and integration.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Product and Design, to understand project requirements and translate them into technical specifications.

• Collaborate with the back-end engineering team to define and build API endpoints and data structures required for front-end functionality, ensuring efficient communication between front-end and back-end components.

• Implement external system integrations that support our web applications and operations team.

• Assist in the evaluation and integration of third-party libraries, tools, and frameworks that can streamline the development process and improve the overall quality of the product.

• Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in Web3 and blockchain technologies, and proactively suggest improvements to enhance the user experience and technical architecture.

• Participate in code reviews and contribute to a culture of ownership, collaboration, and technical excellence

Requirements

• 4+ years of software engineering experience contributing to production codebases in Node.js/React/Javascript (Typescript)

• 1+ years of experience or demonstrated interest (side projects) in developing decentralized applications 

• Based in PT, MT, CT, or ET time zones

• Bachelor's degree or significant coursework in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field

• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with changing needs and requirements

• Solid fundamental knowledge of web application, API, and web3 development

• A dedication to continuous learning and a commitment to best practices across the whole technology stack

• A strong team player with excellent communication skills both written and verbal

• An Engineering generalist who is excited to learn new things and share their knowledge with his/her team

• Demonstrated interest in crypto — building, investing, yield farming, minting, voting, or whatever excites you in the space

Nice to haves:

• 1+ years of experience building crypto-native / web3 projects deployed on an EVM mainnet — especially using React, Node, and JavaScript (TypeScript); experience in DeFi, Solidity, TheGraph, serverless, cloud infrastructure (AWS), testing, or security are a plus

What we offer:

• Competitive compensation including salary, future token rights, and/or equity (according to your preferences) — we're well-funded and believe that great talent deserves great compensation

• Full benefits (medical, vision, and dental) and flexible vacation policy (PTO)

• Small remote-first team across many countries — you'll be an early team member helping shape our vision, culture, and design practices

• A+ colleagues — our team includes alumni from: Goldman Sachs, Blackrock, Two Sigma, Bridgewater, SpaceX, AWS, Meta, Google, Pinterest, McKinsey, Circle, Uniswap, Phantom

• Best-in-class investors — we are proud to be backed by leading crypto experts and VCs, including Pantera Capital, Founders Fund and Coinbase Ventures
