- Partner closely with protocol and smart contract engineers to bring DeFi primitives (AMMs, lending, farming, and more) to the frontend in seamless, elegant ways.
- Optimize data pipelines and application performance to handle high-throughput activity and real-time blockchain data.
- Implement wallet connections, authentication flows, and security best practices that users can trust.
- Keep tabs on the latest developments in DeFi, Layer 2 scaling, and the ever-evolving web3 landscape - and bring those insights back to the product.
