What is Superform
Superform is the universal yield marketplace. We are building the easiest way to access and distribute yield across blockchains while remaining permissionless and non-custodial.
Superform was created with the belief that we can do better than the incumbent systems and corporations that govern our financial lives. We are building real tools that help real people solve real problems.
From the protocol layer, to the execution layer, to the app layer, Superform Labs is building cutting edge solutions for the most pressing issues in decentralized finance.
If you want to make a massive impact on a small and nimble team this is the role for you.
Superform Labs is backed by Polychain Capital, Circle Ventures, and more.
The Role
Superform Labs is looking for an exceptional frontend engineer to help build the next generation of the Superform Marketplace. You will build the best platform for earning and distributing yield on chain, bar no other. You will closely work with with two other amazing frontend engineers and an absolute weapon of a designer to deliver an S-tier onchain user experience.
What you’ll do
Build new core experiences on Superform Marketplace, as well as refine existing experiences
Work on every aspect of the frontend experience from the transaction flow, to vault pages, to the portfolio, to our explorer
Maintain core UI components built off the design system
Collaborate closely with product and design to deliver magical UX experiences as a part of our frontend team
Be boots on the ground, dog fooding what you build and constantly optimizing what you build based on data and user feedback
Who you are:
Exceptional attention to detail, capable of delivering pixel-perfect experiences
Passionate about staying abreast of the crypto landscape, regularly exploring other crypto apps to bring innovative ideas and best practices back to Superform
You take pride in high-quality craftsmanship, your work is a representation of yourself
Many DeFi frontends frustrate you and you have great ideas on how to improve them
You’re a crypto native with hands-on building experience in crypto, as well as a personal user of DeFi
You have a solid understanding of REST APIs and backend operations, are familiar with edge (or lambda) functions, and can articulate the differences between edge function, API, and SSR in React
You have a habit of keeping your git history clean and are familiar with concepts like git-flow, semantic release, Conventional Commits, GitHub actions, and CI/CD.
Great understanding of blockchain fundamentals, knowledge of how transactions are constructed and propagated across chains e.g. You understand the relationship between transaction fee, gas price, and gas limit
You care as much about aesthetics as you do about functionality, you enjoy working closely with designers
You’re well-versed in GRASP principles, Clean Architecture, and OOP Design patterns. Fauler is not just a name to you, and React / MobX / Next.js? You're a pro
Deep understanding of web performance optimization and error monitoring.
You appreciate clean and simple code and are obsessed with testing and code quality
You love challenging yourself and constantly strive to be better than you were six months ago
You can single-handedly take designs and specs to production-ready code under a deadline
When there’s a bug or an incident your first thought is “how can I help” not “who’s fault is this”
