Company description

Balancer is an open-source DeFi protocol built on the Ethereum network (including many L2s). It is a base-layer AMM (Automated Market Maker) and DEX (Decentralized Exchange). Built on the Ethereum blockchain, Balancer offers new solutions to the problems of traditional and centralized exchanges. Developers leverage Balancer as a permissionless building block to innovate freely and create new liquidity solutions. Balancer’s mission is to become the primary source of DeFi liquidity by providing the most flexible and powerful platform for programmable liquidity.

Where does Balancer fit in DeFi?

High-level job description

Balancer has just launched its v3 protocol. V3 makes the Balancer protocol much more flexible and developer-friendly. The team you will join will build the canonical consumer interface to interact with the v3 Balancer protocol. We’re looking for people that have a strong user-focused mindset with an interest in solving the new problems that exist in the Web3 space. You’re comfortable working in an open-source environment with lots of moving pieces, give attention to detail, and have a curiosity for learning new technologies and systems.

You will:

• Build user-facing experiences for accessing and interacting with the Balancer protocol.
• Work closely with designers, engineers, and other product owners in the Balancer ecosystem.
• Be responsible for planning and architecting new and existing systems that tie together the various elements that make up a Web3 app in a clean and modular way.

You may be a fit for this role if you:

• Have extensive experience working in JavaScript/TypeScript-based systems.
• Have extensive experience working with React/NextJS.
• Experience as a core member of a software development team with significant contributions.
• An interest or passion for working on DeFi protocols.
• Have some experience with Wagmi/Viem, GraphQL and Solidity, but these are not essential.

The ideal candidate will probably be a mid-level to senior frontend developer who is either of the following:

• A React/NextJS developer with Web3 experience (+++)
• A React/NextJS developer without Web3 experience but has used DeFi extensively (++)
• A React/NextJS developer with an interest in Web3 (+)

If you’re excited about this role but do not meet 100% of the qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply.
