Role
Who you are
- 4+ yrs experience with React framework to build applications
- Proficiency with Typescript, Javascript, and CSS
- Experience building a non-trivial application with complicated states, heavy use of third party libraries, and web services
- Have a high level of user empathy, constantly consider the user when developing the user experience
Desirable
- Knowledge of and experience with web3 applications development
What the job involves
- We are a protocol for automatically provisioning application-specific blockchains in the multiverse
- We are rearchitecting developer and end-user interactions with blockchains
- Using shared security, innovations in validator orchestration, and an automated CI/CD deployment pipeline standardized across apps in single-tenant VMs, Saga makes launching a dedicated blockchain, or chainlet, as easy as deploying a smart contract
- Saga's initial focus will be on gaming and entertainment chains
- As the metaverse expands, performance requirements and end-user expectations are climbing higher and higher, and crypto-based applications must deliver
- Our vision is ambitious, and we need the smartest and most determined talent to join us on our journey
- We are a world-class team of veteran web3 entrepreneurs and builders from Ignite (Tendermint), Apple, Twitter, NVIDIA, and Skuchain, and we're looking to grow
- We offer a flexible, remote working environment
- You can expect a warm welcome from a friendly and international team that will support you in your personal and professional growth
- This is an exciting opportunity to take an active part in the blockchain space and contribute to the decentralization of the future
- Develop web front-end components for our applications using React and Next.js framework
- Collaborate with product stakeholders, designers, and peer developers to solve user experience problems
- Participate in sprint driven development with tools like Jira, Github, Figma, and Notion
Our take
Saga is a recent addition to the growing blockchain technology startup scene. Its protocol allows users to automatically launch single tenant VMs onto a dedicated blockchain that comes furnished with validators and security structures.
As the sophistication of blockchain technology develops in leaps and bounds, it's hosting an increasing number of projects. The problem is, using overburdened blockchains can result in prohibitively high gas fees and transaction times, resulting in lower throughput and performance.
The opportunity to host projects on unique, lightweight blockchains offers greater flexibility for upgrades and adaptations - which, as more projects move onto Web3, is likely to prove enticing. Having received significant funding early on, Saga stands to make an exciting and fertile contribution to a flourishing tech space.
