About Informal

Informal Systems is a remote-first company with offices in Toronto, Lausanne, Vienna and Berlin. We are structured like a worker’s cooperative, where important corporate actions are subject to one-person-one-vote democratic control by the member-employees.

We envision a sustainable future of cooperatively owned and governed, open-source, distributed organizations running on reliable distributed systems and are excited to grow the team with amazing individuals who believe in making this future a reality.

Informal is a core contributor to , where we develop interoperable blockchain systems by heavily relying on formal verification tools and techniques (formal specification in TLA+, symbolic model checker Apalache, Model-Based Testing Framework, etc.)

The Cosmos technology stack, including Tendermint Core, the Cosmos-SDK, IBC, and the Cosmos Proof of Stake modules, is an industry-leading toolkit written in Go for building, deploying, and running community-owned decentralized networks. This technology is used today to secure many billions of dollars in cryptocurrency market capitalization.
 

About the Role

The Cosmos Hub team at Informal is looking for a front-end developer to build interfaces for the Cosmos Hub’s products. As the first front-end hire, you will have the opportunity to shape how our front-end is built. You’ll also have the opportunity to contribute to blockchain protocol and smart contract code with the guidance of our expert team. This is an ideal opportunity for a front-end developer with a strong interest in blockchain technology.


What your primary responsibilities will be:

  • Build user interfaces for the Cosmos Hub’s range of products, including Interchain Security, Atom Wars, and more.
  • Establish and uphold standards for maintainable, scalable front-end code in our team.
  • Translate loose product requirements into optimal user solutions with solid support from UX and interface designers.
  • Contribute to the development of blockchain protocols and smart contracts using the Cosmos-SDK and CosmWasm frameworks. 
  • Provide mentorship to our team of blockchain developers on the best frontend practices so that they can help contribute to the products.
  • Building some light backend services (Node.js or similar, your choice) to serve frontends and index blockchain data for frontends.
  • Making use of shared processes, practices and tooling for effective synchronous and asynchronous collaboration

What we look for in a successful frontend developer:

  • Minimum of 5 years of software development experience with a focus on frontend work
  • Some prior experience, including side projects, in building smart contracts for platforms such as CosmWasm, Ethereum, Solana, or similar blockchain frameworks. Proficiency in low-level blockchain development (e.g., Cosmos SDK) is also acceptable.
  • Familiarity with backend development, including setting up simple servers for database operations and serving static assets.
  • Strong expertise and opinions on establishing simple and solid frontend architectures using frameworks and techniques that allow teams to contribute to them in a maintainable way.
  • Ability to solve complex problems with the simplest possible solutions (KISS principle)
  • Some interest in product or design – we’ll be collaborating with you to make some decisions in this area.

Some of our benefits include:

  • A unique, caring and friendly culture (learn more about how we work )
  • 25 days (5 weeks) of paid vacation annually, plus 3 Spiritual Days
  • Company closure from December 25th to January 1
  • Annual Lifestyle benefits (reimbursements for gym memberships, fitness equipment, etc)
  • A remote-first, flexible work environment
  • A home-office stipend to set you up for success
  • Annual company retreats
  • Paid parental leave
  • ….. and many more
