The Role We’re hiring a

Senior Frontend Engineer

to own the user-facing experience of Hive Labs. This role sits at the intersection of product, UX, and system clarity.

You’ll be responsible for turning complex backend and execution logic into an interface that feels calm, sexy, trustworthy, and understandable - especially at moments where users are making high-stakes decisions.

This is not a pixel-pushing role. Judgment matters.

What You’ll Work On

Designing and building core product flows:intent input and clarificationallocation previews and rationaleexecution review and confirmationpost-execution state and monitoring

Making system decisions legible:constraintstradeoffsrisks and failure modes

Wallet-aware UX (balances, eligibility, execution readiness)

Handling complex async states:simulationspartial executionretries and recovery

Collaborating closely on product and system design

Helping define the design language and UX patterns from early stages

What We’re Looking For Required

5+ years of frontend engineering experience

Strong product and UX instincts

Experience building complex, stateful web applications

Comfort translating ambiguous product requirements into clear UX

Attention to detail around edge cases and error states

Strong Plus

Experience with Web3 / DeFi frontends

Wallet integrations and transaction flows

Experience explaining complex systems to non-expert users

Design sensibility (you don’t need to be a designer, but you care)

What This Is Not

Not a marketing site role

Not just implementing Figma files

Not a “Web3 NFT mint page” job

How We Work

Product clarity over feature velocity

Explicit tradeoffs and honest UX

Non-custodial, safety-first mindset

Small team, real ownership

The founder is product-led and does not code; this role has significant influence over how the system is experienced and understood.
