Contract Next Js Developer Jobs in Portland, OR (NOW HIRING)

We are looking for a Full Stack Engineer who is excited to build innovative products and infrastructure in a fast-paced, open-source environment. At Econia Labs, you'll play a crucial role in developing a variety of systems and technologies that power decentralized finance (DeFi) and beyond. This role requires strong backend development skills, with the flexibility to work on frontend systems as well. While a solid foundation in backend technologies is key, we understand that candidates may have varying levels of frontend experience, and we are committed to helping you grow in this area as needed.‍In this position, you'll work with a wide range of technologies, from containerization and cutting-edge frontend tech to REST APIs, event-driven architecture, and CI/CD pipelines. While a deep understanding of blockchain and decentralized systems is essential, your work won't be limited to DeFi alone—your contributions will help shape the broader infrastructure and consumer platforms of the future.‍Your responsibilities will include designing and implementing scalable, secure, and efficient solutions, creating user-friendly interfaces, and ensuring robust, optimized backend systems. You'll also have the opportunity to influence long-term architectural decisions that will guide our growth and evolution. As part of our team, you'll take part in code reviews, technical mentorship, and collaborative discussions, all while having the autonomy to experiment and innovate.‍At Econia Labs, we foster a collaborative environment that encourages initiative and creativity. If you're passionate about building cutting-edge technology and infrastructure in an open-source, decentralized ecosystem, we'd love to hear from you.‍Responsibilities
