Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for someone who’s got the front-end chops to not only build beautiful, responsive websites but also to integrate dynamic content and animations in a seamless, efficient way
- Experienced with Contentful or similar headless CMS platforms. Must be comfortable managing dynamic and flexible content, especially when collaborating with marketing or product teams
- Strong skills with SVG animations—specifically using tools like Lottie to create lightweight, scalable animations that don’t bog down the site. This is going to be important for making our web pages more interactive and visually engaging
- 3-5 years of experience in full stack web development, with a strong focus on headless CMS architectures
- 2+ years of hands-on experience specifically with Contentful
- Proficiency in modern JavaScript frameworks such as React, Next.js, or Gatsby for building high-performance web applications
- Solid understanding of HTML5, CSS3, and responsive design principles
- Demonstrated experience in site performance optimization (e.g., caching strategies, image optimization, Core Web Vitals) and using tools like Lighthouse or similar
- Ability to work in a fast-paced, agile development environment
- Familiarity with DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines
What the job involves
- Deliver clean, responsive designs with modern JavaScript frameworks like React or Vue, and ensure they’re optimized for performance across devices
- Develop and maintain BitGo’s web properties, ensuring they are secure, responsive, and user-friendly across all devices
- Collaborate with designers, product managers, and marketing teams to build and optimize web pages, microsites, and landing pages that align with BitGo’s branding and goals
- Design and implement dynamic, data-driven charts and unique visualizations to effectively communicate complex financial and blockchain data to users
- Optimize website performance, ensuring quick load times and smooth functionality across various browsers and devices
- Ensure that all web code is clean, efficient, and adheres to best practices for SEO, security, and maintainability
- Troubleshoot and resolve website issues as they arise, ensuring minimal downtime and a seamless user experience
- Stay updated on the latest web development trends and technologies to ensure BitGo’s website remains modern and competitive
Our take
The digital asset industry is maturing, with asset companies looking to shore up their positions by adding secure custody capabilities. This is good news for BitGo, an independent, regulated cryptocurrency custodian company providing security, custody, and liquidity solutions.
BitGo’s flagship multi-signature wallet solution helps its clients mitigate risk and optimize capital efficiency. The company has subsequently expanded to also cover a number of areas that are critical for any holder of major crypto assets - like portfolio and tax management. In this, BitGo was smart to focus exclusively on institutional clients: there’s huge appetite among larger players to expedite the mainstreaming of crypto, and they’ll need precisely BitGo’s tools to get there.
BitGo was in talks to be acquired by PayPal, and most recently Galaxy Digital, which speaks to a strong institutional confidence in the crypto wave. In spite of a rocky year for the digital assets (which now sees BitGo suing Galaxy Digital for pulling out of the acquisition deal), BitGo has manoeuvred itself into a central position to capitalize on what, now, seems a near-inevitable period of mass adoption. Exemplifying this, the BitGo Ventures wing of the company was launched in 2024 to partner with and invest in cutting edge blockchain and fintech startups.
