Senior Frontend Engineer - DeFi

Arrakis is the leading non-custodial, onchain market making solution for protocols and DAOs. Our customers include Ether.fi, Maker, Stargate, Across, Lido, Karpatkey and other industry leaders. 

We believe in a world where every organization, from a small startup to a large enterprise, will be tokenized and traded onchain. For this world, Arrakis is building the tools to create the necessary liquidity to enable this token economy to rival and out-compete the traditional financial industry.

DeFi is at risk itself of being overcome by centralised actors however. As Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem has become more complex, sophisticated actors have extracted more and more value known as MEV. Arrakis is working on next generation solutions at the speartip of the MEV supply chain, such as HOT AMM, to protect LPs and token issuers against this value extraction.

As one of the Front End engineers at Arrakis, we’re looking for someone who is hands on but also has strong product thinking skills.

• Strong proficiency in React and Next.js ecosystems
• Hands on experience with Web3 technologies (wagmi, viem, Rainbowkit)
