We are seeking a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to join our pioneering team building the next generation of native cross-platform institutional digital asset management solutions. In this role, you will architect and develop a scalable, reusable cross-platform UI library that ensures a seamless user experience across mobile, desktop, and web platforms. Additionally, you will implement the overall layouts for our native and web applications, translating complex requirements into visually appealing, intuitive, and secure interfaces.

Technologies you’ll work directly with include, but are not limited to TypeScript, ReactNative, React, React Server Components, Figma, Storybook, Signals, Observables, Shadcn, tRPC, Next.js, Drizzle, PNPM, Turborepo, and Expo. (Go services exposure is a plus.)

WHAT YOU WILL DO

  • Ship end-to-end features across mobile (React Native/Expo), web (React/Next.js + RSC), and backend (TypeScript/Node)—from design and implementation to telemetry, alerts, and incident response.
  • Create reusable UI systems (components, tokens, themes) with Tamagui + Storybook to ensure consistent, accessible UX across iOS, Android, desktop, and web.
  • Design secure user journeys for custody: strong authN/Z, role-based approvals, device trust/attestation, secure storage, and safe signing flows.
  • Own APIs and data contracts (tRPC/HTTP/GraphQL, WebSockets, webhooks); plan versioning, migrations, and deprecations in a monorepo (Turborepo/PNPM/Bun).
  • Raise reliability and performance via profiling, caching, offline/resume strategies, and robust error handling; define SLOs/dashboards for critical paths.
  • Drive clarity from ambiguity: translate complex requirements into crisp specs and milestones; proactively identify risks, dependencies, and trade-offs.
  • Champion engineering discipline: author ADRs/RFCs, strengthen code review and testing practices, and contribute to paved paths that other teams can adopt.
  • Mentor peers through high-signal design reviews, pairing, and actionable feedback that levels up the team.

WHAT YOU WILL BRING

  • Cross-Platform Builder: Deep experience shipping React + React Native apps and shared libraries in a monorepo (Turborepo/PNPM/Bun), with nuanced platform understanding.
  • Security-Minded Engineer: Hands-on with iOS Keychain/Secure Enclave, Android Keystore/StrongBox, device integrity/attestation, secure storage, transport security, and the OWASP Mobile Top 10.
  • Clear Communicator: You write clear specs, explain trade-offs, and align stakeholders without heavy oversight.
  • Continuous Learner: You stay abreast of emerging blockchain, Web3, front-end mobile technologies, and UX/UI trends, enabling our team to tackle challenges with modern solutions.
  • Design Savvy: You have a strong eye for design, with the ability to independently implement components and responsive layouts with little to no design direction.
  • Blockchain Web3 Enthusiast: You are excited by the potential of blockchain technologies and the challenges of designing and building intuitive and delightful cross-platform applications. Please note Blockchain Web3 experience is not required.

Salary Range: $158,440.00 to $188,147.50

View company profile

Ava Labs was born from the minds of Cornell University researchers, spearheaded by Professor Emin Gün Sirer, alongside doctoral candidates Maofan 'Ted' Yin and Kevin Sekniqi. Their journey began with a shared vision to address the limitations of existing blockchain technologies, particularly in terms of speed, scalability, and cost. What started as a research project incubated at Cornell University soon blossomed into a full-fledged company in 2018, driven by the ambition to build a better, more efficient, and developer-friendly blockchain platform.

The team, a blend of academic rigor from computer science and practical expertise from Wall Street veterans and early Web3 pioneers, set out to redefine how people create and interact with open, permissionless networks. Their core innovation, the Avalanche consensus protocol, was designed to offer high throughput and low latency, making it a compelling alternative for decentralized applications (dApps) and enterprise blockchain deployments. This technological foundation paved the way for the Avalanche blockchain, a platform that prides itself on being blazingly fast, low-cost, and eco-friendly. Ava Labs' mission extended beyond just creating a faster blockchain; they aimed to empower individuals and institutions to easily digitize all the world's assets on a single, open, and programmable platform. This vision attracted significant attention and backing from prominent investors like Andreessen Horowitz, Polychain Capital, and Initialized Capital, alongside angel investments from respected figures in the crypto space. With offices in New York City and Miami, Ava Labs has grown into a global team of experts dedicated to simplifying the deployment of high-performance Web3 solutions and fostering a more accessible and democratic internet of finance.
