At Paxos, we are creating the infrastructure for a new, open financial system - one that anyone can access and participate in, and that operates efficiently. There are billions of people in the world who are unbanked or underbanked, and trillions of dollars that are locked up because of the inefficiencies of the legacy system. We envision a new system that allows any asset to move instantaneously, anywhere in the world - to unlock the potential of assets and people everywhere. Our customers include some of the biggest enterprises in the world like PayPal, Credit-Suisse and Societe Generale, and together we are upgrading the global financial system using modern blockchain and crypto technology. 

We are looking for a Frontend Engineer to join our rapidly growing team. Our frontend engineers work as a small, agile unit consulting across product lines to improve usability throughout the business. Paxos defies traditional divisions and gives frontend engineers ownership over the design, implementation and testing of new features. Every engineer, despite seniority, has the opportunity to influence our product strategy by working directly with stakeholders, helping define feature requirements, and refine usability patterns. A commitment to teamwork, empathy, and strong communication skills are absolute requirements.  

Paxos uses a mix of open source technologies and leading vendor offerings to build our products. As a member of the frontend team, you will primarily work with:

• React, Typescript, and SASS for implementing layouts
• Webpack and NodeJS to build our application
• Figma for designing interfaces

What you will do: 

• Help found an internal component library that will be used across business lines and in marketing materials to standardize Paxos look and feel.
• Implement interfaces for a variety of internal and external facing features taking inspiration from both the crypto and fintech worlds.
• Work closely with stakeholders to build empathy maps and user experience diagrams for new features, workflows, and products.
• Create high resolution mockups to test interfaces with users.

What you need to have: 

• Fluency in modern Javascript.
• No minimum work experience required, but we’d like to see a portfolio of multi-disciplinary projects.
• An understanding of how to leverage typed languages to improve code safety.
• Comfort using one or more Interface Framework (React, Vue, Angular, etc.) 
• Basic understanding of raw HTML / CSS
• Design Prototyping software experience (Figma, XD or Sketch)
• Experience working cross functionally and directly with stakeholders
