Our extensive knowledge spans a broad spectrum of blockchain technologies, allowing us to create advanced, impactful protocols. We are committed to providing developers and clients with the most innovative tools necessary to excel in a distributed economy.

As a Senior Frontend Engineer at Wormhole Labs, you will make significant contributions to Wormhole’s SDKs and open source frontend components.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather customer requirements, analyze business needs, and translate them to enhancements in these components and libraries.
• Follow best practices for secure frontend development and build future best practices alongside Wormhole security researchers.
• Maintain and improve testing frameworks and thoroughly test your code with multiple kinds of tests.
• Stay up to date with the latest in web3 development best practices, tooling, and industry trends.

• Be high agency and effect the outcomes they wish to see.
• Demonstrate customer obsession and feel pride in building great experiences.
• Be highly collaborative within Wormhole Labs, with other Wormhole contributors, and with customers.
• Care deeply about the business outcomes of your work and challenge priorities when the business impact is unclear.

We provide

• Competitive salary and restricted token units, dependent on position type and location.
• Discretionary bonus dependent on company and individual performance.
• Unlimited time off, healthcare premium reimbursement, and 401K.
• Macbook or Windows laptop and dedicated workstation as needed.
• Flexibility of working from wherever you have work authorization, as long as you are available ~10-6PM US Eastern Time. We minimize unnecessary meetings, but building decentralized systems requires synchronous communication.
