Overview
OpenAssets is seeking a Senior Full-Stack Developer to own end-to-end delivery across our multi-tenant platform. This is a hands-on engineering role spanning the full MERN stack: MongoDB schemas, Node.js services, and React.js operator and investor interfaces with working knowledge of EVM-based blockchain systems to support on-chain integrations.
The ideal candidate brings deep experience designing and shipping production systems end-to-end, optimizing backend and frontend performance, integrating with EVM blockchains, and mentoring engineers in a distributed, fast-moving environment.
What You’ll Do
- Design, develop, and maintain full-stack web applications across the MERN stack: MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js using TypeScript on both client and server
- Build and maintain RESTful APIs with consistent error handling, pagination, versioning, and authentication
- Model, index, and optimize MongoDB schemas using compound indexes, aggregation pipelines, and transactions on replica sets
- Develop responsive React.js user interfaces using modern patterns including hooks, state management, and component-level testing
- Implement authentication and authorization using JWT and role-based access control with secure middleware patterns and OWASP-aligned input validation
- Integrate with EVM-based blockchain systems (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base), including wallet interactions, transaction lifecycle handling, and on-chain/off-chain reconciliation
- Deploy and operate services on AWS using Docker and CI/CD pipelines, with structured logging, monitoring, and on-call participation
- Write automated tests (unit, integration, end-to-end) using Jest, Mocha, Supertest, or similar frameworks
- Conduct code reviews, mentor mid-level engineers, and contribute to engineering documentation and best practices
- Collaborate with product, design, and engineering leadership across time zones to scope features, define API contracts, and deliver end-to-end
Qualifications & Experience
- 8+ years of full-stack development experience
- Strong expertise in MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js, and TypeScript across both client and server
- Experience designing and operating RESTful APIs and frontend integrations at scale
- Hands-on experience with MongoDB data modeling, compound indexes, aggregation pipelines, and replica-set transactions
- Proficiency in:
- JWT/OAuth-based authentication and role-based access control
- Secure middleware patterns and OWASP-aligned input validation
- Pagination, query optimization, and performance tuning
- Experience integrating with EVM-based blockchain systems (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base), including wallet interactions, transaction lifecycle handling, and on-chain/off-chain reconciliation
- Hands-on experience with AWS infrastructure (EC2, ECS, Lambda, S3, CloudWatch, IAM)
- Familiarity with Docker, GitHub Actions, and modern CI/CD workflows
- Experience writing automated tests across unit, integration, and end-to-end layers using Jest, Mocha, Supertest, Playwright, or Cypress
- Solid understanding of backend and frontend security practices
- Strong ownership mindset and accountability
- Ability to drive technical execution independently and mentor mid-level engineers
Nice to Have
- Fintech, capital markets, or payments experience
- MongoDB Atlas certification or replica-set tuning expertise
- EVM developer tooling (ethers.js, Hardhat, Foundry)
- Tokenized securities or on-chain asset issuance
- Multi-tenant SaaS architecture
- Event-driven systems (Kafka, SQS, BullMQ)
- GraphQL
Performance engineering (keyset pagination, caching, Redis)
- Distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry)
- Infrastructure as code (Terraform, Pulumi, CDK)
- Open-source contributions or technical writing
- CS-related Bachelor’s degree
- AWS certifications
- Spanish or Portuguese fluency
- Prior remote-first startup experience.
