Lead Frontend Developer; React, TypeScript

Relay is building the web3 messenger. We are looking for talented and motivated front-end engineers of all experience levels. Relay engineers thrive in a high-growth, high-velocity environment where success depends on the highest levels of communication, code quality, and pragmatism. Each engineer must be able to individually own a slice of the Relay codebase while also maintaining a working knowledge of others.

Accordingly, Relay is looking for team members who are not only highly-skilled individual contributors but also strong collaborators and communicators.

• “Set the tone” in terms of craftsmanship standards and code quality
• Carefully implement critical UI components, shared functionality, and certain subsystems (like monitoring, testing, validation, etc)
• Rapidly implement functional UI elements from design mocks and workflow diagrams, with an eye toward correctness and readability.
• Active/thoughtful participation in discussions surrounding ticket specification, design review, etc.
• Participate in active, intentional, and thorough code reviews.

• Actively participate in Git Hub discussions, issues, and pull requests
• Provide technical support and guidance in both Git Hub and Discord
• Participate in growing the development team

• 5+ years building production, customer-facing React applications.
• 7+ years of experience building production, customer-facing frontend applications (using React or any other frontend toolchain).
• 1 year of Type Script experience
• Minimum 3 years working with any strongly typed programming language
• Minimum 1 year leading or 2 years contributing to a web3-centric project
• Very strong verbal and written communication skills.
