Your mission
Lead the technical execution, architecture, and engineering excellence of the 1inch web dApp. This is a hands-on technical leadership role where you'll shape the architecture of a security-critical Web3 application used to access decentralized finance. You'll build secure, scalable, and high-performing frontend systems, guide engineering decisions across wallet interactions and blockchain integrations, and help establish engineering standards that balance delivery speed with quality, security, and long-term maintainability.
What you’ll do
- Lead the technical direction and frontend architecture of the 1inch web dApp, with security as a core design principle.
- Build production code for critical features, complex Web3 user journeys, and performance-sensitive areas.
- Design and improve secure integrations with backend services, blockchain APIs, wallet providers, signing flows, approvals, swaps, and transaction lifecycle management.
- Establish and uphold engineering standards for security, performance, accessibility, testing, and code quality.
- Drive secure-by-design engineering practices and improve the reliability and resilience of wallet-related functionality.
- Mentor frontend engineers through technical guidance, code reviews, hiring, onboarding, and ongoing development.
- Drive the adoption of AI-assisted engineering practices while maintaining rigorous engineering quality, security, and maintainability.
- Collaborate with product, design, backend, mobile, QA, and analytics teams to deliver scalable, reliable features and improve the long-term health of the platform.
Who you are
- 6+ years of professional frontend or full-stack development experience, including experience in a senior or technical leadership role.
- Strong knowledge of TypeScript and Angular, with experience building, shipping, and maintaining large or complex production web applications.
- Strong understanding of frontend architecture, state management, application design patterns, and performance optimization.
- Experience integrating REST and Web3 APIs in production environments, including wallet providers, signing, multi-chain user experiences, and libraries such as ethers.js, viem, or web3.js.
- You have extensive practical experience using Cursor AI or comparable AI-native engineering environments.
- Experience applying secure engineering practices, threat modelling principles, and securely handling sensitive user and wallet-related data in production environments.
- Experience with Git, CI/CD pipelines, collaborative code review processes, and AI-assisted engineering workflows with appropriate quality controls.
- Experience mentoring engineers, raising engineering standards, and communicating effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Strong ownership mindset and problem-solving skills.
Nice to haves
- Experience with Nx monorepos, Angular SSR, feature flags, or product analytics.
- Experience with AI-assisted code review, testing, or security automation in CI.
