Job Description

Which crypto primitives have reached mass consciousness?

Tokens? ✅

NFTs? ✅

What’s next?????

Nilli is a pre-seed funded startup with the mission of bringing the primitive of smart contracts into mass use and mass consciousness.

Our core product is the “crowd contract.” Crowd contracts allow groups of people to crowdfund an offer… but as an Ethereum smart contract, the funds will only be claimed if the targeted recipient meets the contract conditions.

The first use of crowd contracts will be for college fanbases to fund their favorite college players. But the possibilities of crowd-based contracting are limitless. By providing a contract create wizard and a contract marketplace for users, Nilli aims to be an “OpenSea for Smart Contracts”

About You

• You believe that despite some scams, crypto is something very real – a new and important way for human beings to coordinate with each other in the digitally native age.

• You are front-end obsessed and want the UX you build to be clear always, and delightful wherever it’s possible.

• You respect and enjoy the power of design and interaction so much that it makes it fun to suffer the pain of making it perfect in functionality.

• You truly care about detail and want users to have an experience that is fast, clear, safe, and consistent.

• Your first love is not to tweak something that already exists, but to engage in building for the sake of product discovery. Iterate is your middle name.

• You are super comfortable applying integrations – never reinventing the wheel unless needed!

• You are highly aware of the trade-off between “fast” and “perfect” when it comes to building, and you can communicate that respectfully and well to the team.

• You are confident enough – and humble enough – to ask clarifying questions so that product vision can become product reality.

Core Responsibility

• We use the Silicon Valley Group conception of design (see the book by Inspired by Marty Cagan, as an example). This means that PM, Designer, and Engineer are each fully empowered to solve for their own core missions:

  • PM = Value + Viability

  • Designer = Usability + Delight

  • Engineer = Feasibility + Scalability

• You will be the leader of the front-end side of engineering. That means owning the entire front-end operation of the Nilli MVP, alpha, and beta – this is your role on the product team, and we will defer to you ultimately on what is feasible regarding front-end.

Core Expectations

• Lead and maintain the development of frontend products.

• Build beautiful and usable interfaces in collaboration with leadership and design.

• Work closely with our Solidity and backend developers to ensure seamless integration between the frontend and backend.

• Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code to deliver a seamless user experience.

• Lead project DevOps along with backend engineer

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship new features and improvements on existing features.

• Stay up-to-date with the latest developments in React and blockchain technology, and bring new ideas to the table.

• Structure and deliver on sprint deadlines and goals.

Technical Requirements

• Strong proficiency in JavaScript, Typescript, React, and React frameworks (Next.js etc…).

• Strong working knowledge of developing cross-platform/browser and services compatibility and frameworks for dynamic web.

• Experience working with Solidity, smart contracts, and blockchain technology.

• Experience with source control and modern frontend build pipelines.

• Experience with AWS

• Experience with Storybook

• Experience working with DeFi and cryptocurrency is a plus.

• Experience with Solidity tooling is a plus

• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to think creatively to solve complex issues.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills, and the ability to work well in a team environment.
