Senior Frontend Engineer
Pixie Chess
Job Title: Senior Frontend Engineer
Location: NYC (preferred) or Remote (exceptional candidates)
Tech Stack: Typescript/Node.js, React, Zustand/Redux, three.js, Tailwind/CSS, MongoDB, Docker, Git
About Us:
Pixie Chess reimagines traditional chess with new pieces that have rule-bending powers and a high-stakes financial ecosystem behind them. We're a small, fast-moving team backed by Paradigm and other top investors.
We prioritize slope over y-intercept: rapid learners who push themselves to grow. If you're hungry to build, experiment, and ship, you’ll fit right in.
Position Overview:
We are looking for a frontend engineer eager to take on responsibility quickly. You’ll own major parts of the product surface—from player onboarding to auctions to in-game experiences.
You are expected to be fluent in TypeScript, React, Tailwind, and state management (Zustand/Redux). Speed is essential as we iterate through different game modes and financial experiments, but we’re also looking for someone who cares deeply about polish and delighting users.
You will work closely with the founding team, ship often, and have direct impact on a novel financial battleground.
Exceptional candidates may have:
- Solidity (EVM) or Rust (SVM) smart contract experience
- Past work building or contributing to games
- Experience shipping mobile apps
