Responsibilities:

• Architect and own front-end systems, establishing patterns and component libraries that scale across the Atlas platform
• Review code across the front-end engineering discipline while actively participating in product development and driving technical standards
• Foster an efficient, deterministic testing culture with an emphasis on minimizing tech debt
• Find elegant solutions to complex UI/UX problems, balancing user experience with technical constraints
• Implement high-quality, performant code that is clear, concise, and well-tested
• Participate in on-call rotations and troubleshoot, mitigate, and learn from production incidents
• Lead or significantly contribute to medium-to-large front-end projects that cross team boundaries, coordinating with other engineers
• Break down large UI initiatives into smaller tasks and accurately estimate the scope of multi-person projects
• Ship code that directly impacts institutional clients' ability to settle digital assets safely at scale
• Find the right balance between progress (shipping quickly) and perfection (measuring twice)
• Drive technical decisions that shape the Atlas front-end architecture
• Work across Atlas and adjacent product lines, understanding how front-end systems integrate with backend services and the broader Anchorage platform
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Design, and Backend engineers
• Ensure knowledge is shared amongst the team and no one is positioned as a single point of failure

• Use compelling arguments to convey insights and recommendations on technical direction

Requirements:

• 8+ years of professional experience building web applications and UIs, with deep expertise in React.js and TypeScript
• Architected front-end systems from scratch and supported them over meaningful periods of time
• Experience mentoring other engineers and driving technical standards across a team or organization
• Genuinely care about code quality, test infrastructure, and developer experience
• Experience performing on-call support for production systems
• Prioritize end-user experience and business value over 'cool tech'
• Developed 'computer science fundamentals'—i.e., concurrency, algorithms, and data structures (formal CS degree NOT required)
• Self-describe as some combination of the following: creative, humble, ambitious, detail-oriented, hardworking, trustworthy, eager to learn, methodical, action-oriented, and tenacious
• Production experience with web security (e.g., authentication, authorization, identity, API keys)
• Experience with system design for front-end applications at scale
• Built a Chrome extension or other browser-based tooling
• Professional experience with backend technologies (Go, C++, or similar)
• Read blockchain protocol white papers for fun and stay up to date with the proliferation of cryptoasset innovations
• Background in the finance or cryptocurrency industries
• Emotionally moved by the soundtrack to Hamilton, which chronicles the founding of a new financial system
