Lead Software Engineer, Fullstack

Summary

We’re building an asset management platform to serve the GameFi masses. Everything from discovery, management, socialization, and competitions will be accessible–effectively, a one-stop shop for all things needed to navigate the frontier of Web3 gaming.

In order to make Web3 gaming an inclusive reality for the Web2 masses, onboarding needs to be seamless, games incredibly fun, and asset management a breeze. We want to index on the latter, by allowing gamers to optimize their holdings by consolidating project specifics, whether financial or in-game mechanics, into a single administrative experience. So whether users want to find analytical content, leverage insights to drive opportunistic purchasing behaviour, or lean on portfolio strategies and underlying yield vaults for their assets, there’s a solution for everyone.

We’re looking for a highly experienced and skilled Frontend Software Engineer to help us realize this vision.
