Everyone on the team is crypto-native with experience from companies like dYdX, Uniswap, and OpenSea. We have high standards for ourselves and the people we work with. About The Role Backend engineers at fomo work on a little bit of everything across all areas of the business - from crypto infra to social network scaling. Some things our engineers spend time thinking about: Trade execution and infrastructureOnchain data ingestion and portfolio trackingSocial network content recommendation enginesAnalytics data ingestion and analysisInfrastructure scaling and optimization Our stack is mainly a TypeScript/Go microservices architecture (with a little bit of Rust). Engineers at fomo aren't constrained to any specific area - while this is primarily a backend opening, we encourage our backend engineers to contribute to the frontend when it makes sense (and vice-versa). This role is in-person in NYC. We have a strong in-person culture and just moved into a new spacious office in Soho.
