## Job description

Web3 is shaping the future of global finance. DeFi introduces greater efficiency, real-time interest rates, lower costs, and user-controlled assets—enhancing, rather than replacing, traditional financial systems.

While protocols like Morpho, Aave and Uniswap have grown into scalable, widely-used platforms, accessibility and fragmentation remain a challenge. We want to tackle the user experience, allowing protocol teams to focus on innovation and security while we focus on access.

As a Senior Frontend Engineer at Legend Labs Inc. you'll help realize the vision by delivering high-end user experiences that scale across all our products. You'll also help shape the direction, design, and execution of future product experiences.

## What you'll do

- Lead long-term technical direction and vision for maintaining and scaling our products.
- Support and maintain our design system and component library.
- Collaborate with Product, Design, and Engineering teams to create intuitive and delightful user experiences.
- Enthusiastically collaborate with a small team, owning and planning projects for long-term impact.
- Teach and mentor other engineers.

## What you'll bring to the team

- You care about the details, deeply.
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related technical field.
- 5+ years of professional engineering experience.
- Care for the craft, the details matter.
- Proven track record in developing web applications and shipping user-facing features.
- Knowledge of current trends and best practices in frontend architecture, including performance, security, and usability.
- Exceptional judgment, strategic thinking, and creative problem-solving skills with a strong analytical mindset.

Bonus points if you have experience with these technologies

- Swift
- Web3 frontend stack, such as web3.js, ethers.js, etc.
- Experience with Solidity

## Benefits + Perks

- Competitive compensation
- Equity ownership
- Flexible vacation policy

## How we work

- 90% of team is located in the Bay Area

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company. We welcome qualified candidates of all races, creeds, genders, ages, veteran status, and sexual orientations to apply.

## About Legend Labs, Inc.

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Legend Labs provides a non-custodial DeFi superapp that lets users earn, trade, and borrow digital assets from their phone without wallet connects or browser extensions.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage)
- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, United States
- **Founded**: 2023 (conflicting reports suggest 2024) – [tracxn.com](https://tracxn.com/d/companies/legend/__jk7XgQ9jSOvh7TZHkBaKyDqKrxfF8J0ICtjjysucZ90)
- **Founders**: Geoffrey Hayes, Mykel Pereira, Jayson Hobby – [tracxn.com](https://tracxn.com/d/companies/legend/__jk7XgQ9jSOvh7TZHkBaKyDqKrxfF8J0ICtjjysucZ90)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Decentralized Finance (DeFi) / Crypto wallet platform
- **Target customers**: B2C – retail users, mainstream consumers, crypto-native users
- **Mission**: To make onchain finance feel as simple as the apps people already trust, hiding crypto complexity behind intuitive UX and non-custodial control.

## Products & Services
- **[Legend App (DeFi Superapp)](https://legend.xyz)**: Non-custodial mobile wallet that integrates Uniswap, 0x, Aave, Compound, and Morpho. Supports earn (yield on USDC), trade (24/7 swaps), borrow (against assets), and cross-chain bridging via Across. Features passkey-based signing, biometric authentication, Ledger hardware wallet support, and fiat on/off ramps via Coinbase Onramp. Available on iOS. – [legend.xyz](https://legend.xyz/)
- **[Legend Labs AI](https://legendlabs.ai)**: An interactive app that brings historical figures to life using AI and 3D technology for educational conversations. – [cryptojobslist.com](https://cryptojobslist.com/companies/legend-labs-inc)

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed (Seed stage)
- **Key Metrics**: 
  - **Total Funding**: $15M in one Seed round (October 2024) – [tracxn.com](https://tracxn.com/d/companies/legend/__jk7XgQ9jSOvh7TZHkBaKyDqKrxfF8J0ICtjjysucZ90)
  - **Headcount**: Not publicly disclosed; team reportedly includes former Coinbase and Compound engineers. – [cryptojobslist.com](https://cryptojobslist.com/companies/legend-labs-inc)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Coinbase Ventures – [cryptojobslist.com](https://cryptojobslist.com/companies/legend-labs-inc)
- **Growth Signals**: 
  - Raised $15M seed funding from top-tier crypto VCs.
  - Built a live product with real users (claimed “found a real audience” but insufficient scale).
  - **Critical update**: The company announced it is winding down (July 2026) – app will go offline July 12, 2026. – [legend.xyz/sunset](https://legend.xyz/sunset)

## Competitive Advantages
- **No wallet connect / no browser extension**: Natively integrates supported DeFi protocols, eliminating the bridge-first UX.
- **Non-custodial + biometric security**: Users retain full control; funds secured by passkeys and biometrics, not custodial keys.
- **Composable grid** of supported assets, blockchains, and protocols – everything works together out of the box.
- **Push notifications** for onchain activity (yield start, trade fills, borrow repayments).

## Strategic Focus
- **Current priority**: Winding down the company. New user onboarding disabled; existing users encouraged to withdraw funds before July 12 shutdown. – [legend.xyz/sunset](https://legend.xyz/sunset)
- Prior growth direction was mainstream DeFi adoption – simplifying onchain finance for non-crypto-native users.

## Why Work Here
- **Note**: The company is winding down and is not actively hiring. The careers page ([jobs.ashbyhq.com/legend-xyz](https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/legend-xyz)) likely no longer lists open roles.
- **Culture highlight**: The team shipped a polished consumer DeFi product and was proud of its design and engineering quality. Founders emphasized “the product that wins isn’t the one that explains crypto better, it’s the one that hides it completely.”
- **Engineering culture**: Former Coinbase and Compound engineers; strong emphasis on mobile-first, security, and seamless DeFi integration.
- **Remote/hybrid**: San Francisco-based; no public remote policy.
- **Perks**: Not detailed, but the product demonstrates deep investment in iOS native development and UX polish.
