Full Stack Engineer

We are looking for a strong full stack engineer to help build our product at Algofi. You have a passion for engineering scaleable applications. You are willing to get your hands dirty today to build the product, but you are ready to grow into a leadership role as the company quickly grows.

You take painstaking efforts to build world-class user experiences. You have experience developing products (e.g. web/mobile apps, desktop apps) and communicating across an array of technical levels. You are capable of designing best in class architecture with React+Redux and you are willing to build a web page according to a wireframe spec. You are ready to adjust your toolkit and to learn the nuances of Web 3.0 - where your backend is the blockchain.

Why join us? At Algofi, we're building the new financial system. Our work will reduce barriers to entry and promote democracy in the financial system. You will work in a collegial environment that encourages intellectual honesty and collaboration. Your work will make a significant impact very early on. As one of the earliest hires, you will grow into a leader at Algofi and have a material stake in the venture. As the first product engineer, you will help lead product development at Algofi, communicating with visual designers, smart contract engineers. You will help build the application SDKs and backend solutions. Your work will be instrumental in making the new financial system accessible to all.

• Experience with component libraries (Material UI) and design-to-code (e.g. Zeplin)
• Meticulous and detail-oriented, and innately driven to understand issues deeply
• Self-motivated and highly-productive, with a strong sense of ownership and urgency
• Able to work collaboratively and productively with others
• Visually creative with graphic design experience (e.g. Adobe InDesign, Photoshop) is a plus
