At Pod, you'll own UI across the full range of what we ship - trading interfaces, explorers, onboarding flows, wallets, leaderboards, dashboards, homepages, and whatever we dream up next. You'll also have the freedom to move across the stack, contributing to backend improvements, APIs, and other interfaces as needed.
You'll work closely with protocol engineers and product to shape both architecture and experience. You should have a genuine obsession with great UX and an eye for detail, and you should want to use the things you build.
You're also AI-native. You know how to use tools like Claude to prototype fast and move quickly.

Design and implement scalable, real-time UI architecture for data-intensive and high-volume workflows.
Build and maintain products including but not limited to order book interfaces, position management views, trade execution flows, explorers, onboarding flows, wallets, leaderboards, dashboards, and homepages.
Improve UX based on direct customer feedback and product intuition.
Set and uphold frontend standards for performance, code quality, and developer experience.
Collaborate with backend and protocol engineers on SDK and API design, and contribute full-stack improvements where needed.
Contribute to tooling, testing infrastructure, and CI/CD practices.
