Defi Jobs in North America

The Role

We’re hiring a Senior Frontend Engineer to own the user-facing experience of Hive Labs. This role sits at the intersection of product, UX, and system clarity.

You’ll be responsible for turning complex backend and execution logic into an interface that feels calm, sexy, trustworthy, and understandable - especially at moments where users are making high-stakes decisions.

This is not a pixel-pushing role. Judgment matters.

What You’ll Work On

• Designing and building core product flows: intent input and clarification allocation previews and rationale execution review and confirmation post-execution state and monitoring
• Making system decisions legible: constraints tradeoffs risks and failure modes
• Wallet-aware UX (balances, eligibility, execution readiness)
• Handling complex async states: simulations partial execution retries and recovery
• Collaborating closely on product and system design
• Helping define the design language and UX patterns from early stages

What We’re Looking For

Required

• 5+ years of frontend engineering experience
• Strong product and UX instincts
• Experience building complex, stateful web applications
• Comfort translating ambiguous product requirements into clear UX
• Attention to detail around edge cases and error states

Strong Plus

• Experience with Web3 / DeFi frontends
• Wallet integrations and transaction flows
• Experience explaining complex systems to non-expert users
• Design sensibility (you don’t need to be a designer, but you care)

What This Is Not

• Not a marketing site role
• Not just implementing Figma files
• Not a “Web3 NFT mint page” job

How We Work

• Product clarity over feature velocity
• Explicit tradeoffs and honest UX
• Non-custodial, safety-first mindset
• Small team, real ownership

The founder is product-led and does not code; this role has significant influence over how the system is experienced and understood.
