About the Role 

We are looking for an experienced Senior Frontend Engineer interested in working on a greenfield internal Admin interface project built using Next.js, React and Typescript to help empower our Client Support team to continue to deliver industry leading customer service!

You will be responsible for replacing and improving our legacy system feature set whilst ensuring the new code written is scalable, reusable, maintainable and most importantly has a very low barrier to entry for contribution from other teams who might not be familiar with the codebase. 

Building a product is a highly collaborative effort, and as such, a strong team player with a commitment to perfection is required. To succeed in this role, you will need excellent technical knowledge and have great communication skills to stay aligned with global teammates.

These roles are 100% remote and located anywhere in the Americas (North America, Latin America and Canada)

Qualifications

  • Ability to understand business requirements and translate them into technical requirements
  • 3-5+ years of React experience
  • Solid understanding of the JavaScript language and its nuances, including ES6+ syntax and the TypeScript superset
  • Excellent knowledge of modern state management libraries
  • Experience with REST and Websocket based web services
  • Experience building framework and platform agnostic packages
  • Demonstrated ability to work on complex enterprise systems, or successfully deliver a greenfield product
  • Ability to understand business requirements and translate them into technical requirements
  • Bonus Points

  • Knowledge of XState (or similar), Web Workers, or the Actor pattern and how it can be used on the web
  • Knowledge of PHP
  • Knowledge or interest in learning Rust (we are big time Rustaceans!)
  • Passion and knowledge about cryptocurrency
  • You’re passionate about software development... it’s not just your career, it’s your hobby too
  • You’re constantly striving to learn new things and improve
  • You follow industry news, regularly tinker with new technologies, and read books and blogs to keep your skills current
  • We’re powered by people from around the world with their own unique and diverse experiences. We value all Krakenites and their talents, contributions, and perspectives, regardless of their background. We encourage you to apply for roles where you don't fully meet the listed requirements, especially if you're passionate or knowledgable about crypto!
