Aragon is a small team of people that spans a broad range of backgrounds, interests, and geographies. We’re entrepreneurs and degens, technologists and skeptics, troublemakers and problem solvers, who are building unstoppable tooling for the creation and management of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs).

Aragon launched the first DAO framework in 2017, securing over $35 billion in assets for the likes of Lido and Curve. We are currently building Aragon OSx, a toolkit for launching secure and modular organizations, and which is used by projects such as Polygon and Taiko.

As a frontend engineer at Aragon, you will join our App Team. We are building a highly scalable web application to interface with the Aragon OSx smart contract framework, which is used for creating and managing modular digital organizations.

We will only consider candidates with experiencing shipping open source software in the Ethereum ecosystem. You must be eager to help us prove the feasibility and value of onchain governance.

💪 What do we expect from a Senior Frontend Engineer?

• You are enthusiastic to coordinate with other domain specialists and departments, further deepening your knowledge of the ever-expanding technologies of web3.
• You are actively involved across the discovery and development pipeline, from collaborating with UX/UI designers and creating prototypes to implementation, documentation and guides, deployment, and live maintenance. At each stage of the pipeline, you are focused on high quality delivery.
• You are a natural collaborator. You use code reviews to better understand your team’s work, improve the quality of our commits, and learn something along the way. During daily standup, you know when you are needed and proactively solve your teammate’s problems.

⚠️ Minimum requirements

• 5+ years experience in Typescript and React.js/Next.js
• Have examples of open source software you’ve shipped in the Ethereum ecosystem
• Knowledge of design principles, including layouts, aesthetics, and how to work with a UX team and with a design system
• Able to advocate for and enforce good development practices on the team, including testing (unit, integration, e2e), clean code principles, documentation, etc.
• Experience working in agile environment, git flows, and are comfortable in the tools (e.g. Jira, Github)
• Excellent English communication - both written and oral
• Are able to attend quarterly offsites - usually located in or around Europe - to work in person with your team
• Passionate about the possibilities of decentralized autonomous organizations and the impacts they may have on how humans work together to solve problems

💡 Bonus skills

• Experience writing your own smart contracts in Solidity
• Experience working on a project with a module or plugin system

We value freedom and responsibility among our contributors. In practice, this means that we’re a remote distributed organization that’s flexible as to where you want to work and your schedule. We will trust you to accommodate and support your team, and communicate if you ever feel stretched thin.

You will get all of the resources needed to be effective, whether its for setting up your remote work environment or a personal development budget.
