Synthetix is an open-source derivatives liquidity protocol on Ethereum, Optimism, and Base, which enables collateral on-chain to back stablecoins, spot synthetic assets, perpetual futures markets, and more. Synthetix Perps has generated over $60B in volume and is rapidly scaling with cross-chain deployments and increased activity.

  • Support the wide variety of Synthetix ecosystem dapps working closely with smart contract engineers and the UX/UI designer
  • Create and optimize end-to-end and component tests for existing and new functionality in Cypress and unit tests with Jest
  • Write code documentation developed by Core Contributors
  • Build front-end applications with TypeScript and React that allow users to interact with the protocol

Ideal candidates:

  • Have solid, demonstrable work (on GitHub or otherwise) with Typescript / Javascript / ReactJS - 5 years or more
  • Very comfortable troubleshooting issues with front-end apps for smart contracts
  • Have experience with trading systems and/or smart contracts
  • Have strong familiarity with the broader Ethereum DeFi ecosystem
  • Written extensive automated tests and familiar with CI tooling such as CircleCI
  • Collaborative in approach and happy to work with others on projects
  • Intellectually curious and enjoys moving fast
  • Willing to work in person in Sydney, Australia

Synthetix Will:

  • Pay monthly stipends in USDC
