At Anchorage Digital, we are building the world’s most advanced digital asset platform for institutions to participate in crypto.

Home to Anchorage Digital Bank N.A., the only federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S., Anchorage Digital also serves institutions through Anchorage Digital Singapore, Porto by Anchorage Digital, and other offerings.

The company is funded by leading institutions including Andreessen Horowitz, GIC, Goldman Sachs, KKR, and Visa, with its Series D valuation over $3 billion. Founded in 2017 in San Francisco, California, Anchorage Digital has offices in New York, New York; Porto, Portugal; Singapore; and Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

The frontend team is responsible for four key areas of Anchorage’s product surface - the KYC onboarding application, the Anhcorage.com marketing site, the internal web dashboard, and the external facing client dashboard. We work to add new functionality to, support existing functionality for, and optimize each of these codebases.

We think about growth and career development differently at Anchorage Digital. We define performance as acquiring, possessing, and practicing a relevant set of skills and competencies - and the ability to apply them effectively and consistently. We have created the Factors of Growth & Impact to help Anchorage Digital “Villagers” better measure impact and the rich and rewarding learning that happens while exploring, developing, and mastering the capabilities and contributions within and outside of the Front End Software Engineering role. You will be coached, mentored and guided to grow your capabilities in 4 major areas:

Technical Skills:

• Create an intuitive user experience that simplifies complex data into digestible, actionable insights.
• Build high fidelity data visualizations from the ground up, including: maps, charts, graphs, videos, and biometrics.

Complexity and Impact of Work:

• Find the right balance between progress (i.e. shipping quickly) and perfection (i.e. measuring twice).
• Work on the front lines of the blockchain/crypto movement and SecOps innovation.
• Ship code that will impact the global economy.

Organizational Knowledge:

• Foster an efficient deterministic testing culture, with an emphasis on minimizing tech debt and bureaucracy.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with everyone.
• Review code across the entire stack and engineering organization while actively participating in product development.
• Help scale the team.

Communication and Influence

• Influence architecture/product roadmap - have a seat at the table.

You may be a fit for this role if you have:

• You have real world experience building web applications/UI from scratch and supporting them over a meaningful period of time.
• You’ve mastered at least one JavaScript framework (ex. React.Js, Angular.Js, Vue.Js, Ember, etc.)
• You genuinely care about code quality and test infrastructure.
• You prioritize end-user experience and business value over “cool tech.”

Although not a requirement, bonus points if:

• You have production experience with web security.
• You’ve built a Chrome extension.
• In your mind the word “crypto” stands for cryptography, not cryptocurrency.
• You read blockchain protocol white papers for fun, and stay up to date with the proliferation of cryptoasset innovations.
