Aragon is a small team of people that spans a broad range of backgrounds, interests, and geographies. We're entrepreneurs and degens, technologists and skeptics, troublemakers and problem solvers, who are building unstoppable tooling for the creation and management of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs).
Aragon launched the first DAO framework in 2017, securing over $35 billion in assets for the likes of Lido and Curve. We are currently building Aragon OSx, a toolkit for launching secure and modular organizations, and which is used by projects such as Polygon and Taiko.
As a frontend engineer at Aragon, you will join our App Team. We are building a highly scalable web application to interface with the Aragon OSx smart contract framework, which is used for creating and managing modular digital organizations.
We will only consider candidates with experiencing shipping open source software in the Ethereum ecosystem. You must be eager to help us prove the feasibility and value of onchain governance.
💪 What do we expect from a Senior Frontend Engineer?
- You naturally translate user needs into production-ready code. You understand that there are DAO builders, voters, and degens using your product, and you are eager to seek feedback from them to better understand what they need to better participate in their DAO.
- You are comfortable owning a piece of our stack, establishing best practices, and becoming the “go-to” point of contact, while simultaneously mentoring more junior developers along the way.
- You are enthusiastic to coordinate with other domain specialists and departments, further deepening your knowledge of the ever-expanding technologies of web3.
- You are actively involved across the discovery and development pipeline, from collaborating with UX/UI designers and creating prototypes to implementation, documentation and guides, deployment, and live maintenance. At each stage of the pipeline, you are focused on high quality delivery.
- You are a natural collaborator. You use code reviews to better understand your team’s work, improve the quality of our commits, and learn something along the way. During daily standup, you know when you are needed and proactively solve your teammate’s problems.
