## Description
**About fomo**

fomo is a trading app for the rest of us. With fomo you can sign up in seconds and have instant access to any asset on-chain without the need for external wallets, bridges or prior knowledge. fomo has social features that are actually useful - follow top traders (with full access to their portfolio and trades) and find tokens early. fomo does all of this while providing the best-in-class execution and data for experienced traders.

**About the team**

You'll be joining a team of nine on the engineering side: 4 frontend engineers, 5 backend engineers. 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 infrastructure

Onchain data ingestion and portfolio tracking

Social network content recommendation engines

Analytics data ingestion and analysis

Infrastructure 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.

Ideal candidate
Staff+ level engineer (6+ years of experience), able to come up with and execute on plans autonomously

Has experience building in crypto (Solana or EVM experience preferred)

Full-stack (React) experience is a plus

Personal crypto trading experience is a plus - everyone on our team trades, and it is what lets our product stand out amongst the competition.
