Backend Engineer
Williamsburg, Brooklyn (Hybrid)$150,000 – $250,0002mo ago
Join the founding engineer of Robinhood Crypto to work on redefining trenching experience on Solana. We're in a private beta testing for a brand new concept based on super fast real-time data and AI to unlock massive alpha for traders!
We’re looking for a senior front-end engineer to own meaningful parts of our user experience. If you love pushing pixels, sweating the details, and shipping fast, you’ll fit right in.
You will join an all star team of engineers and product leaders from companies like Facebook, Robinhood and LinkedIn — together the team has scaled products to billions of people and millions in revenue. You will constantly be challenged, fostered, and motivated to grow to new heights.
Additionally, our non-dilutive token grant with early liquidity gives a significant edge in compensation over every other startup. If the company does well, you will be rewarded extremely well!
Take full ownership of key interfaces — from trade execution flows to portfolio views — and evolve them from idea to production. Build clean, performant UIs using React + React Native + Tailwind + TypeScript. Collaborate tightly with design and product to create intuitive, crypto-native experiences. Shape engineering culture: leave code better than you found it, review thoughtfully, and raise the bar. What We’re Looking For
Senior engineer with a track record of delivering and maintaining real products at scale. Fluent in modern front-end tools (React, React Native, Next.js, Tailwind, TypeScript). Deep empathy for users. You’re obsessed with quality, clarity, and reducing friction. Crypto experience is a plus, but not required — we care more that you’re curious and rigorous. You’re comfortable with velocity — shipping fast, debugging in prod, and iterating. Why Join?
You’ll be early. Small team, huge surface area. No layers of management or blockers. You’ll be challenged. We work on hard problems at the intersection of DeFi, infrastructure, and product UX. You’ll be rewarded. Competitive salary + equity + token grant with early liquidity. You’ll be in good company. Our team has led products at Facebook, Robinhood, LinkedIn, and Rainbow — scaling to billions of users and millions in revenue. Culture & Office
We work out of a converted loft in Williamsburg, right off the Bedford L. It’s more home than office — great lighting, real coffee, no WeWork vibes. We value in-person collaboration but support some remote flexibility.
Feedback, fast. We challenge each other often and constructively. Shipping fast. Trenching is new ground, and we move quickly to learn. Tasteful software. Code should be clean, components reusable, and the UX intuitive. Apply
