Frontend Engineer

About the Role

We need someone who can make DeFi accessible without dumbing it down. You’ll build the entire front-end for a brand new DeFi product on Base while our contracts are still being written. This is NOT just a frontend role - you need to understand the smart contracts deeply and potentially contribute to them.

Non-Negotiable Requirements

• Expert in React/Next.js + Web3 libraries (wagmi/viem or ethers)


• Full-stack capabilities: Can write and debug Solidity, understand contract architecture


• Deep understanding of contract interactions: multicall patterns, permit signatures, gas optimization strategies


• Can build a DEX interface from scratch in a weekend


• Portfolio showing DeFi dApps (not just NFT minting sites)


• Understand impermanent loss, slippage, and gas optimization at a mathematical level


• Can debug MetaMask issues at 2am without Stack Overflow


• Active DeFi user (show us your DeFiLlama profile)

Responsibilities

• Build our entire frontend from zero


• Debug and potentially fix smart contract integration issues independently


• Create extremely responsive, gas-efficient interfaces


• Implement complex DeFi interactions (multi-step transactions, batched operations)


• Contribute to contract interfaces and periphery contracts when needed


• Work directly with smart contract team (no PM buffer)


• Ship daily, break things, fix them faster

You’re Perfect If:

• You’ve built a DEX aggregator interface in a weekend for fun


• You can explain why certain RPC calls should never be made from the frontend


• You’ve written your own multicall wrapper because existing ones weren’t good enough


• Your browser has 20+ tabs open of different DeFi protocols for “research”


• You’ve implemented account abstraction before it was cool


• You can spot a rug pull from the frontend code alone

Open to discuss pay + equity.
