Senior Frontend Developer @ Striga - Crypto & Banking Infrastructure for Europe

About the role

Striga is building compliant crypto and banking infrastructure for European businesses. This covers the scope of safely custody-ing crypto assets on behalf of users, enabling trading by sourcing liquidity and connection to banks for issuing IBANs (European checking accounts) and Visa Cards that can spend against a users' balance held on Striga's ledger. The company has slowly grown over the last 5 years, tackling one of the biggest challenges in today's crypto industry - Regulation.

Striga is the very first company to win a regulatory license after a year long debacle with the Estonian regulator and is HQ'd in Estonia (Present a nice opportunity to eventually move to Estonia as well!).

A business like this was practically impossible to build without complying with the law and this presents a unique host of engineering challenges in translating legal text into functional code.

As a Senior Front-end Developer, you will be responsible for maintaining, and upgrading the Striga Portal (https://portal.striga.com/) and Striga's internal compliance dashboards, keeping ease of use in mind, and creating beautiful user interface designs that cater to the needs of users.

Requirements:

• 2-3 years of experience building applications using modern UI frameworks such as React.js, Next.js, and React Native

• Ability to write reusable, well-documented, and clean JavaScript code

• Familiarity with native build tools, like XCode and Android Studio

• Experience building and deploying hybrid apps to production with strong JavaScript fundamentals

• Overhaul of UI/UX with ease of use in mind, demonstrating experience in creating beautiful user interface designs and understanding user needs

• Experience working with bitcoin and/or cryptocurrency wallet technology is a huge bonus

• Experience with Node.js, GCP, Redis, and basic cloud computing concepts is a plus

Bonus:

• Entrepreneurship or startup experience.

• Experience working with crypto-currencies and/or other legacy financial systems.

Why Striga:

If crypto-currencies and payment systems are things that excite you, this role is for you - We're building the grassroots payments infrastructure for the next 7 billion crypto users, starting with Europe, and growing fast. You'd be one of the first 10 employees at a YC backed company! Not to mention, a fair salary and an opportunity to own a chunk of a fast growing company.
