About the Job

Fold is looking for a front end engineer to help us build and launch products for spending and earning cryptocurrency in the real world!

Fold is at the forefront of what we’re calling Crypto-Payments 2.0: the next wave of cryptocurrency payments applications that will bring together improved technology, better incentives, and meticulous user experience to make cryptocurrency an attractive, useful, and valuable consumer payment avenue.

As a crypto-curious engineer, you’ll be excited to learn about and apply blockchain and cryptocurrency solutions to unique and mainstream challenges in the market.

As a front end engineer, you’ll be experienced with web technologies like React and redux and be prepared to work closely with a small team dedicated solely to the vision of bringing Crypto-Payments 2.0 to fruition. You’ll be passionate about helping us develop human-centered products while walking the startup tightrope.

As a member of a small remote-first startup, you have excellent written communication skills and have a strong commitment to code quality, minimizing complexity, and providing a strong review cycle to other disciplines on the team, from engineering to design to content.

Though we are remote-first, we do team on- and off-sites at our hubs in San Francisco and Atlanta to stay in touch and whiteboard. You’ll be part of a highly collaborative team with ambitious goals.

Responsibilities

Collaborate with the current team, consisting of the CEO, tech lead, one designer, one backend engineer and one customer success engineer.
Pitch in on all parts of the product: this is a startup, and we all shape every aspect of what we build.
Partner with product management and product design on user experience design and the product roadmap.
Periodically attend onsite working sessions in the Bay Area, CA or other locations in the US.
Help architect and build the front end of web applications, transactional systems, 3rd party integrations, internal tools, and all other components required for the operation of the system.

Required Experience

You have 5+ years of experience building and launching user-facing, preferably consumer-facing, products.
At least 2 years’ experience with React or at least 5 years experience with non-React frontend technology.
You have done extensive front end architecture work for a React or non-React web application
You have experience making front ends work across browser vendors and mobile, desktop, and tablet platforms
You are confident and comfortable working collaboratively with product management, customer support and design.
You value and cultivate open communication.

Preferred Experience

Previous experience with e-commerce and/or payments products.
Knowledgeable and passionate about blockchain and cryptocurrency.
Proven ability to navigate and understand existing codebases.
Experience with redux for React state management
Experience with Django or extensive experience with non-Django server-side technology
