Responsibilities:

  • This role owns the frontend of Superluminal, a new perpetuals exchange built at Douro Labs

  • It carries real ownership over how perps trading feels and works for the people
  • Superluminal is built to be fast and to give traders better pricing than most exchanges currently offer

Requirements:

  • Senior or staff-level frontend experience, comfortable working with minimal oversight
  • Strong, hands-on skills in TypeScript and React
  • Genuine familiarity with perps trading, ideally as a personal trader or close follower of the space
  • Comfort using AI tools like Claude to move quickly, balanced with the ability to solve hard problems independently
  • Based in the US, or able to maintain strong overlap with a US-hours team

Benefits:

  • Build and own the frontend for Superluminal using TypeScript and React
  • Design the core trading experience: order entry, positions, pricing display, charts
  • Make UX decisions that reflect how a perps trader actually thinks
  • Operate with a high degree of autonomy on a small, fast-moving team
