Join the Synthetix Core Contributor community as a senior front-end engineer and help build the future of DeFi.

Synthetix is a decentralized derivatives liquidity protocol built on Ethereum, with over $2B+ in supporting collateral the project is one of the largest in all of DeFi. The Synthetix protocol powers the use of synthetic assets (Synths) in projects across its native interfaces as well as third-party platforms like 1inch and Curve, generating $100M+ in weekly exchange volume. We are a global community of stakeholders across many functions, working together to innovate how value is transferred on the internet.

Synthetix is looking for a front-end JavaScript engineer to supplement our growing needs.

You’ll be someone who’s had extensive experience developing responsive web applications across mobile, tablet and standard devices using React. The role requires implementing new features and products into the Synthetix dApps ecosystem, interacting with the protocol’s smart contracts using web3/ethers.js. The ability to write elegant reusable and understandable code that meets project requirements and standards is a must.

We’re driven by startup values - we iterate fast, test often and automate wherever possible; it’s that agility that has helped us get to where we are. We have some of the most complex dApps on Ethereum managing nearly $3B+ in value and are constantly building new interfaces and making improvements to existing assets.

The current team is globally distributed with contributors in Australia, North and South America, Europe and Asia.
