About Us:
Zora is a new kind of on-chain social network where you can express yourself freely, connect with others, and discover the value of your imagination. We believe that by using crypto, we can enable a more equitable system for creators, fundamentally rediscovering the power of the internet.
We’re working tirelessly to make Zora available to as many people as possible with a simple, fun, and rewarding consumer app. Our mission is to make creating on the internet free and valuable.
About The Role:
We’re looking for an experienced product-focused full-stack engineer to join our Product team, building the experiences that power hundreds of millions in on-chain volume on Zora.
In this role, you’ll work across the entire stack—front-end, back-end, and smart-contract surfaces—owning features from design through launch. You might lean more heavily FE or BE, but you should be comfortable moving fluidly between layers depending on what the product needs.
You’ll evolve existing product features, design and build new ones, and collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Engineering partners to bring magical, intuitive, and resilient user experiences to life.
What You'll Do:
- Build and continuously improve trading-related features across web, mobile, backend services, and on-chain components
- Design, build, and maintain APIs, services, and user interfaces that support high-scale trading and creation experiences
- Own projects end-to-end—from system design to implementation, testing, rollout, and post-launch iteration
- Work closely with PMs and Designers to shape product direction and ensure user needs are kept at the center
- Participate in code reviews, RFCs, technical design discussions, and architecture planning
- Collaborate with engineers across the stack, contributing wherever the product needs you most
- Participate in on-call rotation and help maintain reliability of core trading surfaces
- Communicate clearly with cross-functional stakeholders on status, risks, and milestones
What We're Looking For:
- 4+ years of experience as a software engineer working on user-facing or product-centric systems
- Strong experience building both:
- front-end applications at scale (React, React Native, Next.js, TypeScript)
- back-end systems & APIs (Node/TypeScript, GraphQL, or similar)
- Ability to move fluidly across the stack:
- Front-end (React/React Native)
- Back-end (TypeScript/Node, GraphQL, Python)
- Smart contracts or on-chain logic (Solidity) — or a willingness to learn
- A strong product sense and a user-first mindset
- Comfort owning features from ideation through implementation and production support
- Familiarity with or desire to learn crypto/web3 concepts
- Desire to stay current with modern software best practices across full-stack development
- MUST be located in a US Time Zone
