Description For Senior Software Engineer

Hype is revolutionizing the crypto trading space with their mobile trading app for memecoins. Think of it as a "jailbroken Coinbase meets Venmo" where users can buy, sell, send, and receive ANY blockchain-based asset.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll be joining a fast-paced, tight-knit team focused on building and scaling high-performance trading systems. You'll have significant autonomy and accountability, working end-to-end on features while collaborating with a small but dynamic team.

The role requires strong expertise in both backend and full-stack development, with particular emphasis on distributed systems and scalable architecture. You'll be working with a modern tech stack including React Native, Expo, Node.js, Next.js, and various AWS services.

The ideal candidate brings 4+ years of production software experience, with at least 2 years solving complex distributed systems challenges. Experience with crypto/fintech products and smart contracts is highly valued, as is a background in fast-paced, high-growth startups.

What makes this opportunity unique is the combination of cutting-edge technology (blockchain, DeFi) with a consumer-friendly approach to crypto trading. You'll be working in an environment that values quick execution, problem-solving, and shipping products that make complex crypto transactions accessible to everyday users.

The company culture emphasizes ownership mentality, optimism, and customer focus. Team members are given high degrees of autonomy while maintaining strong collaboration and transparency. This is an excellent opportunity for engineers who want to shape the future of crypto trading while working with modern technologies in a fast-moving startup environment.
