Software Engineering
Canada
Posted on Saturday, August 3, 2024

Figment is the world’s leading provider of blockchain infrastructure. We provide the most comprehensive staking solution for our over 200+ institutional clients including exchanges, wallets, foundations, custodians, and large token holders to earn rewards on their crypto assets. These clients rely on Figment’s institutional staking service including rewards optimization, rapid API development, rewards reporting, partner integrations, governance, and slashing protection. Figment is backed by industry experts, financial institutions and our global team across twenty three countries. This all leads to our mission to support the adoption, growth and long term success of the Web3 ecosystem.

We are a growth stage technology company – looking for people who are builders and doers. People who are comfortable plotting their course through ambiguity and uncertainty to drive impact and who are excited to work in new ways and empower a generative company culture.

About The Role

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer with a strong TypeScript & React background to scale our application team. This team’s mission is to build the Figment application, which allows users to stake and unstake their tokens on a variety of networks.

In this role, you’ll be designing and implementing new UIs and features to support institutional staking. If you have a knack for crafting complex UIs and building fluid user experiences, we'd love to chat!

This is a full-time remote opportunity in Canada. Our team is dynamic and collaborative, with lots of opportunities to learn and drive impactful business outcomes. If you're comfortable working in an unstructured environment, enjoy navigating ambiguity with minimal direction, have a demonstrated ability to take on a wide range of projects with a strong sense of ownership, and love to explore/build new technologies – this may be the perfect match.

What you will be doing

  • Take full technical ownership of key product features – from conception, through breakdown and implementation, to deployment.
  • Produce clean, performant, and well-tested TypeScript code, and clean reusable React components.
  • Design your own solutions, factoring in maintenance, scalability, and security concerns to your solution approach.
  • Work closely with Product Managers to distill requirements, communicate technical solutions, and set expectations.
  • Collaborate with other teams on all aspects of product development.
  • Write feature specs and review teammate’s PRs.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Strong TypeScript & React background and a track record of successful projects using those technologies.
  • Attention to detail in building UIs according to the design.
  • Bias for action and result-oriented mentality.
  • Ability to strike the right balance between craftsmanship and speed of delivery.
  • Pragmatic outlook with a preference for simplicity and maintainability.
  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills.
  • A drive and passion for growth and learning.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Figma
  • Familiarity with NextJS, Vercel, LaunchDarkly and Storybook
  • Full-stack experience, preferably with the Ruby on Rails framework
  • Experience with building DApps and interacting with smart contracts
