What you’ll be working on
The Role

Our core stack is React/Next.js and GraphQL, and you’ll have freedom to shape the rest - we expect you to keep us on the cutting edge, guiding when to build custom and where to leverage third-party libraries.
This role reports to the CTO.
What We Value
We’re building the next era of the internet. There’s no playbook for this. Therefore, we value:

• A hunger to grow. We actively seek new information and skills out of habit, not obligation.
• Builders of systems; you can’t scale without repeatable process
• Creative problem solvers who reason from first principles
• Having a healthy disrespect for rules; we break rules that don’t make sense

We work remotely. There’s no one to watch over your shoulder. Therefore, we value:

• Over-communication; we proactively share information and clarify assumption
• Deep sense of ownership and internal motivation; we care about our work and we work hard
• Honesty; we start from trust and assume the best in each other
• Bias for action; an ability to ship. Activity without finished output is worthless

We’re solving hard problems, and hard problems can’t be solved alone. Therefore, we value:

• Being excited by challenges; we love what we do and have fun building together, online or IRL
• Initiative to identify opportunities; our work isn’t siloed, good ideas can come from anywhere
• Humility. Ask questions, admit failings, accept support; there’s no glory in silent struggle
• A team mindset. We share credit, highlight each other’s strengths, and believe 1 + 1 = 3.

Our Tech
We seek to use the best modern technologies and bias to pragmatic tooling that is battle-tested and maintainable. We default to Typescript across the stack & interact heavily with EVM blockchains.
Our core stack includes:
Node.js, Prisma, PostgreSQL, AWS, KMS, Docker, Jest, Next.js, Tailwind, GraphQL, Ethers.js.
We’re currently focused on supporting all EVM-compatible chains.
