Remote Frontend Jobs

About Goldsky

At Goldsky, our vision is simple: Build the most powerful data platform for Web3. ☀️

Blockchains will enable a new era of unique onchain experiences and applications. However, today it’s impossible to build high-quality products due to the difficulties of processing onchain data effectively. This complexity is only increasing as more chains and smart contracts are deployed across the ecosystem. Teams are forced to build complex data infrastructure in-house, distracting them from focusing on their core product.

Goldsky bridges this gap by making it seamless for developers to power their applications with realtime onchain data. Our infrastructure powers hundreds of projects across the industry building rich, instant, data-driven experiences.

We’ve raised over $20M from Dragonfly Capital, Felicis Ventures, prominent players in the industry such as 0x Labs, Uniswap Labs, and Protocol Labs, and angel investors including Elad Gil, Plaid founders Zach Perret and William Hockey, and Zhuoxun Yin of Magic Eden. Our team members have previously built mission-critical, scalable infrastructure at Meta, Google, Shopify, Activision, and more.

We’d love for you to join us in our mission to unlock the full potential of data in Web3.

About the Role

We launched our first product, Subgraphs, last year. Since then, we’ve onboarded hundreds of customers to the platform, including Zora, Optimism, POAP, NounsDAO, 0x Labs, Immutable, Hashflow, Arweave, and Polymarket, among others.

Recently, we began rolling out access to Mirror, an end-to-end data pipeline solution for streaming onchain data directly to an existing offchain database.

As we continue to grow, we are looking to bring on a Frontend Engineer who will be pivotal in crafting intuitive, dynamic, and high-performance user interfaces. This role involves working closely with our product and design teams to deliver a seamless user experience, ensuring our platform is both powerful and user-friendly.

You’ll be working with a world-class data engineering team with experience in architecting (not just building or using) the production streaming systems at companies like Shopify, Activision, and more. We regularly present at data engineering conferences and merge changes back into upstream projects, so a love of open-source could be helpful.

Experience with Blockchain and Web3 is not required, but having proficiency in modern frontend frameworks and a keen eye for design will definitely make a candidate stand out.

Responsibilities:

• Develop User Interfaces: Create and maintain intuitive and responsive user interfaces that allow users to easily interact with complex data-driven applications. You’ll be building the frontend for our cutting-edge Web3 data products.
• Collaborate with Design and Product Teams: Work closely with our design and product teams to translate wireframes and prototypes into high-quality code. You’ll ensure that the user experience is cohesive, accessible, and performant.
• Optimize Performance: Identify bottlenecks and ensure our web applications are fast, responsive, and optimized for all users. This includes optimizing load times and managing state efficiently.
• Problem-Solve on the Fly: We’re building sophisticated tools in a completely new industry, where there are many things to discover. Problems will arise that have never been solved, and you’ll be able to figure out the “good enough” solution consistently as we run into lots of novel technical challenges. You have the drive to work through hard problems, the curiosity to dig deeper and understand the root cause of a problem, and the grit to iterate through first attempts that lead to the right solution over time.
• Build Systems Incrementally: As we grow, we are looking to build incrementally but with a strong vision for the future architecture. While we actively embrace ‘throw-away work’ when the situation demands, we’re at a point where sustainable scaling is important, and we’re looking for someone who can walk that balance.

We’re excited to talk with you if:

• You are passionate about building clean, scalable, and maintainable frontend architectures. You should have experience with modern frontend frameworks such as JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Svelte, and other tools.
• You enjoy the high-level strategy work as well as the implementation, and you get excited about seeing users interact with the interfaces you’ve built.
• You’re curious, low ego, and always looking to improve. You experiment with strategies, tactics, and tools in order to identify what works, and you adjust to find repeatable success. You’re open to feedback and collaborating with others to get to the best approach.
• You’re hungry and excited to join a high-growth, fast-paced startup where you’ll get your hands dirty across a range of challenges. You’re comfortable in an ambiguous, remote environment without much structure.
• You enjoy building long-term relationships with teammates and customers.
• You’re open and curious to learn more about this wacky world of crypto :)

Bonus points for:

• You also feel comfortable with backend or data engineering. Though not explicitly required, the more you can get your hands on — the better!
• You’ve worked with highly technical products and customers; even better if you’ve worked in B2B SaaS.
• You’re crypto native, familiar with the broader ecosystem, and understand why Goldsky will unlock new experiences and applications in Web3.
