Senior Frontend Engineer (Slush Wallet)

Mysten Labs believes that decentralized and open protocols are the bedrock of the internet of value. This is why at Mysten Labs, we are creating foundational infrastructure to accelerate the adoption of decentralized protocols based on blockchain technologies.

Crypto products are notoriously unfriendly to non-experts, yet hiding too much of what’s going on under the hood can undermine the trust that the technology is designed to ensure. We are looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer for the Slush Wallet who can navigate this tension with rigor and good taste.

Slush is a cross-platform application built with React Native via Expo,TypeScript, Tailwind (and NativeWind). Our backends are primarily written with Node.js (or Bun), Drizzle, Pothos, and Effect. We interact with our backend using GraphQL and Relay.

What You’ll Do:

• You will work with product and UX design teams to implement and launch core features for the Slush Wallet.

• Collaborate closely with product and design teams to translate product vision into reality. This includes planning, implementing, and launching core features that elevate our user experience.

• Be at the forefront of exploring new product areas for Slush. Your insights will help us shape future product directions.

• You will invest in updating our front end architecture to utilize modern technologies, and design the project for stability and long term investment.

• You will work closely with our SDK and core network teams to help define and build new API functionality.

• Stay up-to-date with the latest frontend trends and technologies, and participate in technical discussions and provide guidance on architectural decisions

Our ideal candidate would have:

1. You have at least 5 years of experience in developing web apps and shipping user-facing features with JavaScript and modern, component-based JS frameworks like React.

2. Ability to navigate across multiple projects in a fast paced, startup environment.

3. Excellent interpersonal communication skills and ability to partner effectively with teams in a fully remote environment and discuss complex topics with technical and non-technical audiences.

4. Comfort with diving deeper into the stack to fix a bug or add a feature that will improve the end-to-end user experience

5. Familiarity with React Native is not required but is a plus.

Employment is contingent upon the successful completion of a background check, which may include verification of employment history, education credentials, criminal history, and other relevant information.
