Overview

Tradegenius is building a next-generation crypto terminal and exchange, with the deepest network coverage of any terminal, and the most liquid backers in the industry (ask for details). Front-end is not decorative here: it is the conversion engine, the retention loop, and the brand differentiator. While this role is front-end focused, we value engineers who can contribute across the stack.

Archetypical Users

• Discretionary traders, large whales, sophisticated actors, and those with high risk tolerance.

• Mentor junior developers and influence engineering culture and standards.

Requirements

• 4+ years of professional front-end development experience.
• Expert-level proficiency with Next.js, React, and TypeScript.
• Strong grasp of modern front-end architecture, performance optimization, and state management.
• Experience integrating with REST and WebSocket APIs.
• Familiarity with back-end concepts (Node.js, databases, cloud services, postgres) is a plus.
• Demonstrated ability to own features end-to-end in production systems.
• Based in New York City and able to work on-site with the team.
• Speed, Speed, Speed, Speed, Speed, Speed
