Remote Senior Front-End Developer - Heliax

Overview The primary project of Heliax is the Anoma protocol. Anoma is a sovereign, proof-of-stake blockchain protocol that enables private, asset-agnostic cash and private bartering amongst any number of parties. In addition to Anoma, Heliax works on open-source projects which are part of the Anoma ecosystem, including cryptographic libraries such as the MASP and tools for high assurance validity predicates and arbitrary zero-knowledge circuits (Juvix). Heliax is a remote-first team, currently composed of cross-disciplinary members located around the world. All of our work is open-source. Our work culture is characterized by open-allocation, where team members have a high degree of freedom and autonomy in choosing when to work, what to work on, and whom to work with. Responsibilities • Architecture & building front-ends from scratch from design prototypes, wireframes and specifications. • Work very closely with the designer(s) on clarifying and providing bi-directional feedback on the designed wireframes, prototypes, and graphic assets. • Cross web ecosystem integrations, e.g. front-ends across applications, such as browser extension applications with web applications securely. • Lower level integrations of the applications with e.g. HSMs (e.g. with the Ledger APIs). • Organize project code bases & development processes in a scalable (allowing multiple people to simultaneously work on it), easy to test, perform quality assurances, & ready to integrate user feedback. • Work closely with the Comms & Product team, a team composed by designers, developers, and content writers on building, improving, and maintaining the existing & upcoming organization and project websites. • Developer-friendly documentation writing for both internal use and external use, as the projects and its libraries are/will be open-source. Projects Here are some of the projects that the team is working on: • Anoma Extension: • Description: A browser extension that works as the 1st step for all users. It is a Key Management System (KMS) that enables users to generate a master seed phrase and auto derive accounts on Anoma, later to access, manage the keys to e.g. sign transactions or use the viewing key. • Sample of key features: • Support for file-based keys • Support for Ledger hardware wallet connectivity (keys are generated on the Ledger HSM) • Generation of master seed phrase • Auto derivation of keys for transparent and shielded accounts • Anoma Wallet: • Description: Anoma's browser based multi-asset wallet that allows users to send and receive transparent and shielded transfers. • Sample of key features: • List all assets (any digital asset) on Anoma, which include NFTs. • Able to send/receive shielded and transparent transactions • Transactions can optionally be offsetting carbon • Display transaction history • Organization Website: • heliax.dev • anoma.foundation • Project websites: • Anoma: https://anoma.network/ • MASP: https://masp.dev/ • Juvix: https://juvix.org/ Qualifications • You LOVE front-ends and have a passion for delivering delectable user experiences to a world-wide user base. • You feel aligned with Anoma’s vision and goals in bringing financial privacy and self-sovereignty to everyone in the world. • You have a bachelor degree in Computer Science or equivalent knowledge and experience. • Built and contributed projects in the web ecosystem for +5 years that have been deployed to an active user base, have mastered JavaScript (& TypeScript/ReScript, otherwise you’re able to pick it up quickly) and frameworks such as Vue/React (please submit examples of your past work, e.g. commits to Git repositories, URLs to websites that are active). • Ability to build applications that are performant and provide great user experiences across browsers (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Safari) and devices (Desktop, Tablet, Mobile). • Ability to build secure integrations across web applications (e.g. browser extension <> web app), and across devices (e.g. HSM <> Device <> Web). • Ability to build web applications from scratch until production-readiness. • Knowledge or interested in learning about Rust and WebAssembly. • You’re an avid follower of the latest trends in the web development ecosystem and you’re excited about learning new technologies and contributing to them. • Self-organized and autonomous, expect minimal management in a flexible and remote work environment. • Verbal and written fluency in English. • Ability to do codebase walkthroughs, explain verbally your work in detail, and showing off your work via presentations and/or demos. Bonus Qualifications • Worked on applications and end-user interfaces in the blockchain industry. • Have used applications or products of the blockchain industry before. • Interest and ability to learn and understand the codebases and the high level design of the Anoma blockchain protocol (Rust), understanding how zero-knowledge proof schemes and other cryptographic libraries (Rust), the SDK – or any other libraries or dependencies that will be integrated with the front-ends. • Experience with lower-level programming languages, e.g. C, C++, Rust (even better if you have any projects written with it), functional programming languages, e.g. Haskell or OCaml. • Organized and/or participated in developer meetups or conferences and enjoys being involved with open-source communities. • Fluency in other languages. Misc. Preferred if residing within (+/- 3 hours) Central European time zones. Ideally someone who enjoys travel, nature and hiking. Often we find that products are best designed not in a meeting room but rather on a trail . Apply tot his job Apply To this Job
