Founding Engineer DeFi (Full Stack)

DeFi App

Senior up to 250k + equity Remote full stack engineering

Founding Engineer (Full-Stack / Front-End Focus)

 

Join as the Founding Engineer of an early-stage DeFi App startup backed by strong angels and builders from leading DeFi and blockchain ecosystems. You’ll own product architecture end-to-end, ship core user-facing systems, and shape both the technical culture and trajectory of the company from day one.

 

What You’ll Do

  • Build and iterate the first production-ready version of the platform — from web app to underlying APIs and data flows.

  • Lead the full product lifecycle: architecture, implementation, deployment, testing, and optimization.

  • Work directly with the founders on strategy, product design, and early customer feedback loops.

  • Set up scalable engineering processes, DevOps pipelines, and best practices for future hires.

  • Experiment with on-chain integrations, wallet flows, and web3 SDKs to create seamless UX for crypto-native users.

What We’re Looking For

  • 4+ years of experience in modern web development — strong command of React / Next.js, TypeScript, and Node.js (NestJS preferred).

  • Experience working across the stack — from front-end performance to backend APIs, databases, and infrastructure.

  • Familiarity with Web3 libraries (ethers.js, wagmi, viem, walletconnect, etc.) is a big plus.

  • Ability to operate autonomously, make architectural decisions, and build quickly with limited resources.

  • Startup mindset: resourceful, pragmatic, and excited to own 0→1 challenges.

Why Join

  • Be part of the founding team — real product ownership, equity, and direct impact on company direction.

  • Work on ambitious infrastructure that aims to define new primitives for DeFi and digital assets.

  • Collaborate closely with top crypto builders and early backers.

  • Fully remote, async-friendly culture built around trust, excellence, and high-leverage output.

Tech Stack

TypeScript, React / Next.js, Node.js / NestJS, PostgreSQL, GraphQL, AWS, and Web3 tooling (ethers.js, wagmi, viem, etc.)
