React Frontend Developer – Metadata Tools Team Full Time

Our Metadata Tools team is seeking a React Frontend Developer to join our growing team. As a Frontend Developer at the Cardano Foundation you will build Web3 applications for all leading platforms (Web, Android, iOS) to help grow the Cardano ecosystem. We create Open Source tools and services for everyone who seeks to adopt the Cardano blockchain for solutions within their domain or industry sector. We are looking for you to help us lead the world into a decentralised, fair and sustainable future by providing the appropriate tools others can build upon.

The ideal candidate has solid knowledge of React based application development and has proven the ability to deliver high quality code whether in professional or free time/community driven projects. This also incorporates strong interpersonal skills and a solution oriented aptitude when it comes to the design of software systems. As we not only seek to support browser based but also native mobile applications the candidate should be able to evaluate and introduce new frameworks and combinations (e.g. Flutter based containers with embedded React applications) in order to define our stack for future developments.

Basic knowledge about blockchain technology in general or Cardano in particular is beneficial but you will get the possibility to learn along the way going through our onboarding curriculum.

We are looking for a motivated software engineer who is eager to learn and willing to leave a footprint in sustainable software development.
