Senior Frontend Engineer - React/Redux/Typescript

About Interlay

Interlay envisions a future where blockchains can seamlessly connect and interact, regardless of their design and purpose. Anyone should use any digital currency on any blockchain platform without restrictions.

We are building a decentralized cross-chain settlement layer, “a network to connect them all”. We work with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Polkadot and others, shipping the infrastructure for cross-chain applications, including PolkaBTC, the official trustless Bitcoin-Polkadot bridge, in collaboration with Parity Technologies, funded by the Web3 Foundation.

Our products are designed to be inherently decentralized and the majority of our code is open source. We follow a research-driven approach, back up our work by top-tier scientific papers, and collaborate with leading research labs around the world.

Role and Responsibilities

We are looking for a senior frontend engineer to lead the development efforts on Interlay’s decentralized bridge network, starting with PolkaBTC.

Your task will be to coordinate with full-stack and UX engineers and build the Web-based UI using React, Redux, and TypeScript. You will need to have an excellent understanding of React and TypeScript best practices and experience with writing production-ready software (incl. E2E testing).
