• Build reusable UI components and design patterns, ensuring consistency across products.
• Work within (and help shape) a robust design system, contributing to shared components and documentation.
• Rapidly prototype new features and interactions (e.g., AI-driven components or web3 interactions) to validate ideas and inform the product roadmap.
• Uphold high standards of quality by ensuring performance, accessibility, and cross-browser/cross-device compatibility.
• Maintain clean, efficient code in Git, and stay up to date with emerging front-end and design technologies.

Must Have

• React & TypeScript: Proven experience developing production-grade applications.
• ShadCN JS framework & Tailwind CSS: Solid understanding of utility-first styling and component-driven development.
• Storybook: Proficiency in creating, documenting, and testing UI components.
• Attention to Detail & Polish: A strong eye for design details, interaction nuances, and visual consistency.
• Git: Comfortable with version control and collaborative workflows.

Should Have

• 5+ Years of Experience: Depth and quality of front-end or design engineering experience is strongly preferred.
• Next.js: Familiarity with server-side rendering, dynamic routes, and overall Next.js ecosystem.
• Interest in Web3/Blockchain/Crypto: Curiosity about or previous exposure to decentralized technologies.
• Rapid Prototyping Skills: Ability to quickly spin up interactive demos, especially AI-driven or otherwise experimental features.
• Figma Basics: Experience collaborating in design tools, providing design feedback, and extracting specs.
• Systems Thinking: Experience building or contributing to design systems in a product environment.

Nice to Have

• Wagmi, Ethers, Viem: Knowledge of popular web3 libraries and tooling.
• Webflow: Familiarity with building and maintaining visually rich marketing or documentation sites.

About You

• You value iteration and thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
• You are a systems thinker, able to see how small design decisions affect the bigger picture and vice versa.
• You communicate effectively with designers, product managers, and fellow engineers to arrive at thoughtful solutions.
• You have a strong sense of ownership and are comfortable advocating for best practices and overall quality.
• You’re excited by emerging trends—be it AI, web3, or the next wave of web technologies.
