Role

Who you are

  • A senior-level front-end engineer (TypeScript + React veteran) with a solid background in financial applications.
  • You are familiar with decentralized applications on the Ethereum blockchain (or complementary Layer-2 networks) such as Premia and Uniswap, as well as centralized crypto applications such as Deribit and Coinbase, and understand the frontend technologies often used by these projects
  • You are passionate about building highly scalable, resilient, and performant web interfaces for the next generation of financial applications on the internet and have a wide set of skills and experience to execute on this

  • You have experience and are culturally aligned with fast-moving small teams. You have worked in a remote (globally distributed) team before, preferably in a startup environment
  • You are self-driven, highly knowledgeable about building performant, scalable React applications, and can ship features and patches swiftly when needed. You can identify company priorities, own them, and iterate quickly to ship the best solution within aggressive deadlines
  • You understand the necessity of thoroughly testing financial applications and the interfaces thereof before and after shipping any feature to production
  • You have experience utilizing testing suites, CI/CD, and issue tracking systems to effectively maintain resilient production software at scale
  • You can write and speak highly fluent English and have great communication skills. You work well in a team
  • Experience owning and shipping financial products
  • 10+ years of industry experience in software engineering (include university and pre-university software engineering)
  • A mastery of Javascript, Typescript, and React with an understanding of blockchain and cryptography fundamentals
  • Deep understanding of NextJS and modern tooling for application development in Typescript
  • Experience working with GraphQL
  • Understanding and experience working with databases such as MongoDB, SQL, Firebase, etc
  • Basic web3 understanding: Wallets, transactions, explorers, POW/POS, gas price, etc
  • Ability to quickly iterate and ship highly resilient, scalable code backed by complete test suites
  • Ability to build modern, event-driven React frontends, converting Figma designs into functional components
  • Deep understanding and experience with Git
  • Knowledge of engineering best practices such as CI/CD and live issue tracking
  • Exceptional judgment, problem-solving skills, and an analytical mindset
  • Ability to work in areas beyond your comfort zone and motivation for personal growth
  • A passion for life-long learning and a self-awareness of your learning style

Desirable

  • Previous experience building applications with web3 libraries such as viem, ethers, wagmi, etc
  • Mastery of CSS, preferably via a library like Tailwind/StyleX
  • Experience using financial applications or trading options personally
  • Open source software contributions, especially to major web3 projects
  • 4+ years of university-level software engineering training and education

What the job involves

  • Engineers at Premia work with our CTO and our existing engineering team to innovate, architect, and develop user-facing features and new iterations of the Premia application
  • In addition, you will work closely with other departments such as Design, QA, Operations, and Marketing teams to successfully execute the implementation, testing, and deployment of new features
  • As a senior engineer, you will help (mentor) other members of the team, and will make sure components and app pages are well optimized and running smoothly
  • Design, scope, and estimate complex features at the component level
  • Build, test, and ship features, patches, and updates to our web app
  • Collaborate with the team and cross-functional partners on all aspects of product development
  • Identify and advocate for team-wide areas of improvement and best practices
  • Mentor team members to refine their technical and architectural skills
  • Write clean, well-documented code and participate in leading code reviews to prevent technical debt

Our take

Premia is a decentralized options platform connecting traders and liquidity providers of all backgrounds. The company is fairly mysterious, only communicating through Twitter and Discord platforms, and so whilst still small, it is most definitely having an impact on the crypto world.

Premia offers a pool of trading options that are overseen by Liquidity Providers (LPs) that work quickly to attend to users' requests and provide the best valuations for them. This process is far more automated and succinct than your average trading pool. Boasting the best value in pricing, the company assures its users that it stays competitive with its offering as the market moves.

Within its first year, Premia has built a variety of products and services for users to take advantage of and has also been added to several crypto platforms including Zapper, Blockfolio, and HotBit. The acceptance into the sector in its early days shows promise for the company. It continues to grow as it sets out on new projects like expanding its business relationships, building more assets, and much more. It’ll be exciting to see if, as the company scales, it can continue to uphold the valued reputation it's built already.
