Overview

Tristero's mission is to increase individual sovereignty. We’re building a Binance-grade exchange platform entirely on-chain with total privacy, powered by cutting-edge cryptography. Our early focus is blockchain interoperability - already delivering industry-leading pricing and settlement times.

We’re looking for a Front-End Engineer to help make our web-based Dapp fast, stable, and seamless for traders. You’ll work closely with a lead engineer, a designer, and other front-end devs to deliver high-performance trading interfaces across multiple blockchain networks. This role is hands-on, with a strong emphasis on performance tuning, state management, and smooth cross-chain UX.

Key Responsibilities

High-Performance Trading Interfaces

• Implement and optimize responsive trading UIs that handle sub-second quote updates across multiple blockchains.
• Integrate with our quote engine to support real-time order tracking via WebSockets, ensuring a smooth, centralized-exchange-grade feel in a decentralized setting.
• Work on advanced order routing and fallback logic to maintain stability under varying network conditions.

Multi-Chain State Management

• Contribute to our Zustand-based architecture that manages complex trading flows across EVM, Bitcoin UTXO, Solana, and Tron.
• Identify and reduce performance bottlenecks in memoization and state synchronization layers.
• Help ensure consistent UX across drastically different blockchain paradigms.

Transaction Handling & Reliability

• Implement and refine cross-chain transaction features, including retry logic, circuit breakers, and failover handling.
• Enhance user feedback and error states to ensure clarity during network instability or quote unavailability.

Scalable Component Development

• Build modular, reusable trading components that adapt to different wallet types and blockchain environments.
• Optimize React render cycles to handle frequent price updates without UI lag.
• Collaborate on building robust error-handling patterns tailored for multi-chain environments.

Qualifications

• 3-5 years experience in front-end or full-stack development.
• Strong proficiency in React and modern JavaScript/TypeScript.
• Experience with performance optimization in data-intensive UIs.
• Solid understanding of asynchronous programming and WebSocket integrations.
• Excellent collaboration skills - comfortable working in a fast-paced, cross-functional team.
• Interest in blockchain technology (hands-on crypto/Web3 experience a plus).

Nice-to-Have

• Experience contributing to blockchain or open-source projects.
• Familiarity with DeFi, trading platforms, or multi-chain Dapp development.
