We’re hiring for a venture building a next-generation blockchain for real-time, large-scale applications, designed to overcome the speed and cost limitations of traditional blockchain infrastructure. The technology is fast, cost-efficient and fully EVM-compatible, enabling developers, creators and communities to build immersive products with greater ownership and interoperability. The team is building a high-performance decentralised exchange designed to give traders fast, reliable and fair execution. The product is live. Now we need a Product Engineer to take it to the next level. ## About the role You will own the frontend product experience for the DEX, shaping how it looks, feels and performs for traders. This is not a narrow frontend engineering role. You will have significant influence over product decisions, user experience and the direction of future products. You may be a founding engineer, an early product engineer or someone who has helped build a trading product from the ground up. What matters is that you have owned real product decisions, shipped complex systems and understand what traders expect from the products they use. ## What you’ll do - Define and own the frontend product vision for the DEX. - Build fast, responsive and intuitive trading experiences. - Turn designs and product ideas into reliable, high-quality features. - Manage high-impact projects from early concept through to launch. - Make thoughtful decisions about architecture, performance and scalability. - Prototype quickly, validate ideas and strengthen the features that prove valuable. - Work closely with engineering, design and commercial teams to improve user and business outcomes. ## What we’re looking for - Proven experience building or scaling a DEX, trading platform or trading product. - Strong experience with JavaScript or TypeScript, React and Next.js. - A strong understanding of frontend performance, accessibility and user experience. - A product-builder mindset with strong ownership and self-direction. - The ability to make sound decisions with incomplete information. - Comfortable working with urgency in an early-stage, ambitious team. If you have built trading products and want to help create a faster, fairer DEX, apply.
