Front End Engineer

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.

You’ll be someone who’s had extensive experience developing responsive web applications across mobile, tablet and standard devices using React.
