Build a Backend-for-Frontend layer with Apollo GraphQL, powering fast, contract-based communication with distributed backend services
Collaborate with design teams to craft a robust design system and shared component library benchmarked against Material UI and Ant Design
Ship reusable NPM packages and open-source widgets that simplify client-side integration across teams
Deploy and maintain services across GCP, Aliyun K8S, CDN infrastructure, and Cloudflare using modern CI/CD pipelines

Strong hands-on experience with React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architecture patterns
Proven track record building secure, user-facing products—ideally within fintech, blockchain, or other high-trust environments
Familiarity with GraphQL, Node.js, and BFF design patterns
Experience with testing frameworks like Cypress and React Testing Library, with a commitment to high coverage standards
Comfort working cross-functionally with product, design, and backend engineers across global time zones
A builder's mindset—curious, fast-moving, and driven by first-principles problem solving
Bonus Points
Experience with micro-frontend frameworks and distributed systems architecture
Exposure to decentralized identity concepts, smart contracts, or crypto-native authentication flows
Familiarity with headless CMS tools like Contentful and frameworks like Next.js
Background contributing to open-source or developer tooling ecosystems
