Responsibilities:
- Architect and develop full-stack DeFi applications (frontend to smart contracts).
- Build and optimize scalable backend systems with Node.js, TypeScript, AWS, Google Cloud.
- Design secure smart contracts using Solidity and frameworks like Foundry or Hardhat.
- Integrate blockchain layers using viem, ethers.js, and wagmi.
- Develop modular, component-driven frontends with Next.js 14, Tailwind CSS 4, shadcn/ui, and Storybook.
- Manage application state using Redux Toolkit and React Query.
- Build performant APIs (REST / GraphQL / WebSockets) with Postman-based documentation.
- Design and manage databases with MongoDB, Redis, IPFS.
- Implement robust monitoring and observability using Datadog, Grafana, or Sentry.
- Integrate on-chain data via The Graph / Subgraph indexing.
- Collaborate across protocol, product, and design teams to ship production-grade systems.
