Staff Mobile Engineer
About The Position
We are the largest ecosystem builder on a leading decentralized perpetual exchange, currently building the next generation of DeFi trading. Our mission is to democratize access to global financial markets—including crypto, equities, and commodities—by leveraging decentralized technology. To date, our platform has processed $65B+ in cumulative trading volume, generated eight figures in revenue, and supports over 400,000 registered traders. We are a small, elite team of individual contributors who value autonomy, ownership, and rapid execution. We are looking for a Staff Mobile Engineer who views React Native as a craft. You will sit at the intersection of engineering, design, and product, turning raw speed into a premium mobile experience that feels intentional and indistinguishable from a native app. We are looking for a "0-to-1" engineer who thrives in low-process, high-trust environments.

- High-Performance UI: Develop elegant React Native interfaces for real-time trading, analytics, and social features.
