USD* is fully collateralized and earns yield from diversified, real sources such as delta-neutral strategies and secured borrow-lend market positions. Its value grows automatically, making it a simple, secure way to save on-chain.\nUSD* is fully collateralized by a diversified portfolio of yield-generating assets and positions, including:\nDelta-neutral hedged positions on centralized and decentralized exchanges (e.g., BTC, ETH, SOL)\nSecured borrow-lend market positions involving on-chain stablecoins\nReal-world assets, such as the reinsurance fund by OnRe\nPerena actively manages asset allocation and diversifies across multiple strategies to reduce single points of failure and optimize for sustainable, consistent yield performance.\nBuilt on Solana's high-performance blockchain, Perena is creating a liquid, yield-bearing digital dollar that anyone can access with a sustainable, risk-managed approach.\nLooking ahead, Perena is building a full suite of on-chain stablebanking products to expand access to real yield across crypto and traditional finance. The goal is a sustainable financial experience for anyone to transact, save, and invest on-chain.\nPerena is founded by a team of builders from the Solana ecosystem with backgrounds in TradFi and DeFi. We believe deeply in pushing financial architecture forward — and in doing it with transparency, resilience, and speed.\nWe're backed by some of the best in the world, including:\nSolana co-founders Anatoly Yakovenko and Raj Gokal\nInvestors from Citadel, Jane Street, IMC, and Susquehanna\nBorderless Capital, Binance Labs, Primitive Ventures, Maelstrom, Anagram, Breed, and others\nPerena was a sponsor of the Colosseum Hackathon Stablecoin Track, helping fund the next generation of stablecoin projects on Solana. Our growing community spans over 20,000 developers, users, and builders aligned around one goal: reinventing how money works.\nWhat You'll Do\nBuild and own the frontend applications that bring Perena's financial products to life, from minting and redeeming USD* to portfolio dashboards, yield analytics, and on-chain transaction flows, using Next.js and TypeScript as the core stack\n\nDesign and implement a scalable component library and design system that ensures consistency, accessibility, and reusability across all Perena surfaces, including public-facing apps, internal operations tools, and documentation\n\nIntegrate directly with on-chain data and wallet infrastructure, building seamless interactions with Solana programs, wallet adapters, and real-time blockchain state to create intuitive user experiences around complex DeFi primitives\n\nCollaborate closely with protocol engineers, designers, and product to translate sophisticated financial concepts (yield strategies, collateral flows, risk metrics) into clear, trustworthy interfaces that inspire user confidence\n\nOwn frontend performance, reliability, and observability, including optimizing load times, implementing error boundaries, building monitoring and analytics pipelines, and ensuring the app performs under real-world conditions across devices and regions\n\nDrive data-driven iteration by instrumenting user flows, analyzing engagement and conversion metrics, and shipping improvements that make Perena's products easier and more compelling to use\n\nWhat We're Looking For\n3+ years of professional frontend engineering experience with a strong emphasis on Next.js (App Router) and TypeScript in production environments\n\nDeep understanding of React patterns, server components, client/server rendering strategies, caching, and data fetching in modern Next.js applications\n\nExperience building and maintaining component libraries or design systems (e.g., using Tailwind CSS, Radix, Shadcn, or similar) with a strong eye for craft and detail\n\nFamiliarity with wallet integration and on-chain data in a frontend context (Solana wallet adapters, RPC calls, transaction signing) or clear ability to ramp fast\n\nTrack record shipping user-facing products in fast-paced environments where you owned features end-to-end, from design handoff through deployment and iteration\n\nStrong instinct for UX in high-stakes financial contexts: you think about trust, clarity, error states, and edge cases before they become problems\n\nExperience with frontend testing strategies (unit, integration, E2E) and CI/CD pipelines to maintain quality at speed\n\nComfort working with designers in Figma, translating visual specs into pixel-perfect, responsive, and accessible implementations\n\nFamiliarity with DeFi or fintech products is a strong signal, but not required. What matters is you can learn fast and reason about how users interact with money\n\nEarlier in your career? Apply anyway if you can show real ownership of shipped products, clean code, and a sharp eye for design and usability.\nWhy Perena?Stablecoins are transforming how the world stores, moves, and grows value — and we're still early. This is a once-in-a-generation shift: from legacy money to programmable, accessible, internet-native finance. Building here isn't just technically interesting — it's globally meaningful.\nWe own our future — we trust each other to take initiative. Voices are heard and outcomes matter.\nWe treat our work as craft — thoughtful, opinionated, and precise. Many of us come from design, art, or cultural backgrounds.\nWe think from first principles — Perena is a reimagining of financial infrastructure. That starts with reimagining how we build.\nWe work in public — we value clarity, writing, and sharing progress openly within the team and with our community\nOriginally posted on Himalayas","description_format":"text","description_chars":5759,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Blockchain & Crypto","Cryptocurrencies","Web3 & dApps","Stablecoins"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-18T05:30:25Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["seen:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-19T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/perena-frontend-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/perena-frontend-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-19T14:12:52Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10241,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-20T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":9125},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=9125"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fperena-frontend-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fperena-frontend-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fperena-frontend-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/perena-frontend-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fperena-frontend-engineer"}]}
