The Role

At IYK, the engineering surface is incredibly broad. Our stack ranges from hardware up through the traditional web2 stack, and ending at the blockchain. With this comes countless frontend touch points, from pages opened by NFC on mobile devices to e-commerce experiences, to backend systems that help creators configure and manage their chips.

As a Staff Engineer at IYK, your role is to architect and help implement this growing system. You will lay the foundation for our applications as well as for creators who are already building experiences on top of us today.

This is an opportunity to build technology that reaches the masses and contributes to a better end consumer experience across many industries including music and fashion. We’re looking for someone who relishes the challenge of shipping scaleable applications quickly while not compromising on quality. You should care about the details and you must be able to foster a culture that values clean code.

Our stack currently consists of:

• TypeScript
  • We primarily use Remix when building applications
  • We use Hono for our core API
• PostgreSQL databases
• Hasura GraphQL Engine
• Solidity smart contracts

As Lead/Staff Engineer at IYK, you'll be responsible for:

• Guiding the development of both frontend and backend systems, ensuring they align with IYK’s strategic goals and technical vision
• Leading the engineering team in implementing scalable and secure solutions across our product range
• Playing a key role in API design and system architecture, facilitating seamless interaction between different layers of technology
