Frontend Lead Developer — Hyperbeat Protocol

About Hyperbeat
Hyperbeat is building the infrastructure layer for on-chain yield, liquidity, and payments on Hyperliquid EVM. We're bridging DeFi and traditional finance through three core products:

Vault Products — Capital-efficient yield strategies (hbUSDT, hbBTC, hbHYPE)
Liquid Staking & Restaking — Non-custodial staking infrastructure
Hyperbeat Pay — Crypto-native card and credit platform enabling users to spend on-chain earnings anywhere Visa is accepted

We're building a unified ecosystem with institutional-grade security and consumer-grade UX.

The Role
We're seeking a Frontend Lead Developer to own and architect the user experience across the entire Hyperbeat ecosystem. You'll transform complex on-chain operations into intuitive, trustworthy interfaces — making DeFi feel as seamless as modern fintech.
This is a high-impact role where you'll shape how thousands of users interact with on-chain yield, staking, and payments.

🚀 What You'll Build

Own the frontend architecture across Vaults, Staking, and Hyperbeat Pay products
Design and implement a unified component library and design system (React, Tailwind, TypeScript)
Create seamless flows for deposits, withdrawals, staking, credit applications, and card management
Integrate third-party APIs including Rain (Visa issuing), Turnkey (key management), and SumSub (KYC)
Build wallet infrastructure using wagmi, with support for passkeys, smart accounts, and frictionless signature flows
Collaborate cross-functionally with backend, product, and design to ensure performance, security, and product-market fit
Establish engineering culture through code reviews, documentation, and mentorship of future frontend hires


🎯 What You Bring
Required

4+ years of frontend development with deep React/Next.js expertise
Proven experience building fintech or DeFi products (payment flows, staking interfaces, wallet integrations)
Strong architectural skills with modern frontend patterns (state management, API design, performance optimization)
Product mindset — ability to translate complex financial logic into clean, user-friendly experiences
Startup mentality — you understand the difference between corporate and startup environments. You thrive with autonomy, move fast, wear multiple hats, and prioritize impact over process

Bonus Points

Experience with wagmi, viem, or other Web3 libraries
Familiarity with Turnkey, Rain Financial, or SumSub SDKs
Knowledge of account abstraction (ERC-4337), gas sponsorship, or passkey authentication
Early-stage startup or founding engineer experience
Comfort working in async, remote-first environments


💼 What We Offer

End-to-end ownership of Hyperbeat's frontend ecosystem
Competitive compensation — salary + meaningful equity/token allocation, bonus, company laptop of choice and remote work expense allowance
Remote-first, async culture optimized for deep work and velocity
Direct impact — your work will shape how users experience on-chain finance
Rapid iteration — ship quickly and see immediate user feedback
No bureaucracy — make decisions, ship code, and see results without corporate overhead


📍 Location & Work Style
Fully remote. We're building a lean, high-output team that values clear communication, strong execution, and autonomy.
This is not a corporate job. We need builders who are comfortable with ambiguity, can operate independently, and are energized by the pace and responsibility of early-stage startups.
