Mission
We’re looking for a Full Stack Web Engineer who excels at UI/UX design and has proven experience in the financial services or crypto domain. The role spans data models, APIs, and high‑performance interfaces. You’ll bring a product‑mindset, validate ideas early, and iterate from functional to exceptional while staying language‑agnostic and pragmatic.
Responsibilities
* Deliver end‑to‑end product features – backend APIs, data models, and interactive, responsive UI components.
* Review and validate scalable software architectures, ensuring maintainability, reliability, and secure integrations across all layers.
* Champion good engineering practices, including code reviews, automated testing, documentation, and CI/CD workflows.
* Optimize performance across the stack through debugging, profiling, and system tuning.
* Collaborate with product and engineering teams to translate complex business and user requirements into elegant, performant solutions.
* Maintain consistent operational hygiene through clear documentation, smooth migrations, and predictable deployments.
* Explore and share emerging technologies, with particular interest in Rust, WebAssembly, and modern API frameworks.
Background and Experience
* Proven experience building full stack web applications with strong command of both front‑end and back‑end principles.
* Proficiency in modern front‑end frameworks (Vue, React or similar) and design systems or component libraries such as Shadcn.
* Experience developing robust back‑end services, ideally using Rust, or familiarity with typed backend languages.
* Solid understanding of HTTP, RESTful API design, and performance optimisation in web contexts.
* Hands‑on experience with relational and/or NoSQL databases, schema design, and query optimisation.
* Familiarity with Git‑based workflows, continuous integration, and automated testing practices.
* Strong debugging, problem‑solving, and analytical skills.
* A product‑oriented mindset – balancing quality, speed, and user impact effectively.
* Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with a proactive attitude toward improving systems and team dynamics.
Preferred Qualifications
* Exposure to data‑intensive, governance‑driven, or fintech/crypto applications; curiosity for Rust or distributed systems.
* Awareness of secure coding practices, authentication/authorization models (OAuth2, OpenID Connect).
* Knowledge of data visualisation libraries (D3.js, Recharts, or similar).
* Familiarity with observability stacks (Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Faro, or Datadog) and comfort instrumenting metrics, logs, and traces.
* Ability to design applications with self‑observability in mind (health endpoints, tracing IDs, telemetry propagation).
* Exposure to Kubernetes, containerised environments, and Helm‑based deployments.
* Understanding of CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI) and infrastructure‑as‑code workflows.
* Experience working in cloud‑native environments (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and awareness of security‑first design.
* Comfort working with financial datasets, trade logs, or analytics dashboards.
* Experience handling sensitive or regulated data, ideally in financial or crypto contexts.
Our Offer
* A competitive salary package.
* Autonomy in time management thanks to flexible working hours and the opportunity to work remotely.
* The freedom to create your own entrepreneurial experience by being part of a high‑performance team.
