About Zuplo

Zuplo is building the first developer-focused API Management solution. We are a small team of developers that are passionate about building amazing developer experiences. Zuplo was founded 18 months ago and is well financed. We move fast, we ship code, and each team member is responsible for owning a significant portion of our product. At Zuplo, you are given challenging problems and expected to solve them both independently and collaboratively with the team.

We are a fully remote company, but we do like to get together usually twice per year. Ealier this year we all flew to Cancun Mexico for an all-company offsite. We do prefer that everyone has some overlapping work hours in order to collaborate but we are flexible. As a company, we try to keep meetings to an absolutely minimum and prefer ad-hoc collaboration.

Every employee is provided a top of the line Macbook Pro plus $1000 in expenses to build out your office. We have an unlimited vacation policy with some gently enforced minimums (i.e. we require everyone to take reasonable time off each year). Every employee will receive a fair salary and equity in the company. Employees in the United States receives top-quality health, dental, and vision. In other countries we will work with you to ensure that you have high quality healthcare.

About the Role

We are looking for somebody who can take an ownership role in our primary web app (portal.zuplo.com). This tool is used by our customers to configure and code their API gateways - you can think of it as an admin portal with a light-weight IDE built in. The portal is written in React so previous experience is a plus, but not required. The right candidate for this role is not somebody who just builds features and fixes bugs. This role requires somebody capable of guiding the overall architecture of the portal to ensure it stays performant and that we can continue to ship new features quickly. You will work with other UI developers to ensure best-practices are followed, you will review pull requests, and you will help design new features. Additionally, you will work closely with backend engineers to build the right APIs and systems to support the portal - and help to build them in some cases.

As a rapidly growing company, your job will change from day to day. We expect everyone to jump in and help out when needed. This might mean taking on a customer support ticket, writing documentation, or helping debug a production incident. Everyone at Zuplo shares responsibilities and works together toward a common goal.

Research shows that candidates from underrepresented backgrounds often don’t apply unless they meet all the job criteria. We aren’t looking for someone who ticks every single box on a page; we’re looking for lifelong learners and people who can make us better with their unique experiences. If you think you’d be a great fit, then please get in touch to tell us about yourself.

Zuplo is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer. Zuplo conducts all employment-related activities without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, age, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, citizenship status, genetics, or status as a Vietnam-era special disabled and other covered veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

What is the job?

Are you happiest when using modern technologies to build complex APIs and slick web solutions from scratch? Do you enjoy working with autonomy and being left to use your creative flare to devise lever solutions? If so, joining us as a JavaScript Developer could be your next move!

You will work from a coherent vision. Step by step you will turn requirements into top-notch products by working with your immediate small but collaborative team, stakeholders in the wider business and testers through rapid cycles of implementation, feedback gathering, and tuning to produce delightful results. You will drive architectural decisions & enjoy the constant challenges that will become an integral part of your working day and boring coding will remain a scary memory.

You will help define the way forward for DeFi as an industry; when it comes to deciding new paradigms for user experiences, authentication models, interoperability expectations, and the entire concept of user accounts whilst working at the very cutting edge of a space undergoing furious growth.

RDX Works is seeking an industrious developer to build the systems that will define the future of decentralized finance (DeFi).

What are we looking for?

• You’re a generalist, and have experience building REST services and/or WebSocket backends & enjoy variety in your projects
• You like to actively shape designs and play with ideas as you build, and are comfortable with iterating until it feels just right.
• You’re able to isolate the 90% case for user experiences. You think in terms of making the most common interactions effortless, rather than making anything possible.
• You are adept at going from problem statements to solution design, and then breaking that high-level design down into discrete segments of useful work.
• Once you understand a system concept, you are able to identify the highest value area to work on next. You can work towards the desired end state and come up with your own tasks to achieve it along the way.
• You could be a great fit if our company values resonate with you - Ask for help, Get shit done. Be excellent to each other. Take the initiative, You’ve got this. Do the right thing, not the easy thing. Strong opinions, loosely held.

What do you need?

• You will be proven commercial experience as an engineer building consumer-facing products/applications, using TypeScript or JavaScript ES6 for both front & back end development
• You will be comfortable using JavaScript frameworks such as ReactJS, NodeJS or VueJS.
• If you have familiarity with the current crypto ecosystem it is a huge plus, but just having the desire to learn will do for us!

Who are we?

At RDX Works, we're a team of like-minded thinkers who have long been convinced that we're living in the earliest stages of a global financial revolution. This revolution is being fuelled by decentralized finance (or DeFi for short), which is enabling an assortment of pioneering developers and entrepreneurs to re-invent almost every financial product that is currently traded and invested in traditional markets, without requiring central authorities or siloed infrastructure. DeFi has captured a great deal of attention and investment in the crypto-aware niche, growing assets under management from $1 billion to over $200 billion in a few years. Impressive as its growth has been, its current market size isn't even a rounding error on the over $400 trillion held in traditional finance. We're focused on what it will take to go from billions to trillions.

RDX went back to first principles to come up with the right technical solution—the first layer-one protocol built specifically for mainstream DeFi—and we have already tested out at over 1 million transactions per second. We're keenly aware that the need for an infinitely scalable platform is only one prerequisite among many for mass adoption, and we're also blazing new ground in the areas of purpose-built developer tools, user experiences, and regulatory integration.

We have forged a path deep into the future of what distributed ledger technology is going to look like and we need you to come and be part of the team that is making that happen right now.

If this job sounds like it was made for you, then please apply directly via the link or if you don’t have an up to date CV to apply with, contact [email protected] for more information.

Alternatively, if you feel like you don’t match all of the requirements, we would love you to still apply anyway. We understand that confidence gaps and imposter syndrome can get in the way of meeting incredible candidates and we wouldn’t want this to prevent us from meeting you; especially as we are big advocates of helping people learn & grow. This is also another reason we do not advertise salaries, we want to keep it as even a playing field as possible!
