<h1>About Us:</h1>Blockworks is an information platform that sits at the center of the crypto industry. We transform raw, complex data and facts into actionable research, trusted news, alpha-driven insights, and world-class events. The result is transparency and confidence. We enable investors, operators, and institutions to see past the noise, make better decisions, and drive the industry forward.<h1>Who You Are:</h1>You’re a frontend native who obsesses over both pixels and performance. You build intuitive interfaces with craft and care - balancing speed, polish, and maintainability without sacrificing one for the other. You don’t wait for a designer to hand you a Figma file - you sketch things yourself, ship fast, and polish in prod.You’re energized by ambiguity and love shipping v1s. You’re relentlessly curious and always exploring what’s next in frontend: AI copilots, frameworks, build pipelines, performance tricks, p75 optimization. You know when to use Tailwind and when to write raw CSS. You don’t just write React - you bend it to your will.<h1>What You’ll Do:</h1>You’ll join the frontend team at Blockworks and help us ship best-in-class user interfaces across our crypto research platform, data dashboards, and public media sites. You’ll work closely with design, product, and backend to own complex frontend projects end-to-end—from architecture and data fetching to accessibility and animation.We ship fast, we ship often, and we love people who can take an idea and bring it to life without hand-holding.<h3>Every day will look a little different, but in general, you will:</h3><ul><li>Build and ship React/Next.js apps to Vercel with high-performance and great UX</li><li>Create beautiful, intuitive interfaces without relying on detailed specs</li><li>Use Tailwind, Chakra, or raw CSS to build reusable and accessible UI components</li><li>Optimize rendering performance using techniques like memoization, lazy loading, web workers, etc.</li><li>Write clean, maintainable code that scales across multiple frontend apps</li><li>Own data-fetching layers with TanStack Query (React Query), including caching, pagination, prefetching</li><li>Leverage AI tools to accelerate coding, testing, refactoring, and UI prototyping</li><li>Collaborate directly with backend engineers, data engineers, data analysts, and leadership to shape the product</li><li>Contribute to static builds and SSR/ISR pipelines on Vercel</li></ul>Experimentation is frequent at Blockworks. Comfortability with being uncomfortable is a must.<h1>What You’ve Done Before:</h1>You’ve built and shipped multiple frontend-heavy products at scale - ideally in SaaS or data-heavy domains. You know the pitfalls of bloated JS bundles, stale queries, and layout thrashing - and you know how to avoid them. You’ve made tough architectural decisions before and can defend them.You have at least 5 years of professional experience focused on frontend engineering, with deep experience in React and ideally Next.js. You’ve worked with component libraries, SSR/SSG strategies, and modern bundlers. You’ve owned projects and aren’t afraid to push back or run with vague requirements.Minimum qualifications:<ul><li>5+ years experience in frontend engineering</li><li>Deep expertise with React and production-grade Next.js apps</li><li>Experience deploying to Vercel or similar JAMstack platforms</li><li>Strong grasp of async data fetching, caching strategies, and rendering performance</li><li>Fluent in modern TypeScript</li></ul><h1>It’d Be Great If You’ve Done This:</h1>You’ve built an open-source UI library, framework, or CLI tool. You write about frontend ideas, contribute to community projects, or tinker with new frontend infra before it’s mainstream. You treat performance like a feature and know how to debug jank, memory leaks, and hydration mismatches.You’ve worked with web workers, service workers, or fine-grained performance optimizations in the browser. You understand how the frontend interacts with backend systems and enjoy tweaking data models when needed. You’re the person other engineers come to when they want to make their app “feel better.”<h3>Bonus if:</h3><ul><li>You’ve built or contributed to an open source frontend framework or tool</li><li>You’ve worked on high-performance, data-heavy UIs (e.g., dashboards, tables, charts)</li><li>You know how to measure and improve Core Web Vitals</li><li>You’ve used TanStack Query extensively (or similar libraries like SWR, Apollo)</li><li>You’ve worked with design systems, component libraries, or headless UI</li><li>You’ve shipped a product with web workers or did serious perf debugging</li></ul><h1>Salary, Benefits, &amp; How We Work:</h1>This is a full time exempt position with an expected salary of $160,000-200,000/year.<h1>Benefits:</h1>Remote-First: Were a remote-first organization with an office in NYC for you to utilize as you please.100% Medical Coverage for You: Close to fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for you, and a significant portion covered for your dependents.Flexible PTO: We have a flexible paid time off policy that doesnt limit the number of vacation days you can take.Parental Leave: At Blockworks, all team members are eligible for 14 weeks of fully paid parental leave.Hardware Stipend: Every team member has a stipend to use to purchase the tools and technology that help them be their most productive.Learning &amp; Growth Stipend: Every team member has a stipend to spend on their skill growth and professional development.Career Growth: We prioritize skill growth and career development, and we have a clear, documented structure to take the guesswork out of individual development and career progressionGlobal &amp; Diverse Team: Were a global team, and were committed to creating an open, inclusive, and diverse work culture<h1>Come build with us; were just getting started!</h1>We know that diversity makes for the best problem-solving and creative thinking.
