Morpho - Staff Fullstack Engineer
Requirements
• Adaptability in a fast‑changing context • Moves comfortably between frontend, backend, and data layers. Adjusts plans quickly when priorities or constraints shift. • Clear, crisp async communication • Writes short, actionable updates. Proposes options with tradeoffs. Defaults to transparency and documentation. • Ownership and autonomy • Spots gaps, proposes a plan, and drives to closure without hand‑holding. Holds the bar for quality while biasing to ship. • Team‑first mindset and low ego • Seeks the best idea, not credit. Mentors others and raises the overall engineering standard. • First‑principles reasoning and bias for action • Challenges assumptions, simplifies systems, and favors pragmatic solutions that deliver user value. • 8–10+ years building and operating full‑stack applications at scale, with measurable business impact. • Track record designing systems that handle millions of daily requests with high availability. • Experience leading cross‑team technical initiatives without formal authority. • Deep expertise with modern TypeScript across client and server. • Familiarity with our stack is a plus: React, Next.js, GraphQL (Apollo Server), REST, WebSockets, Node.js (Hono/NestJS), PostgreSQL, Redis, event streaming, indexers (Ponder/Subsquid), viem, Jest/Cypress, OpenTelemetry, Grafana, Sentry, auth, rate limiting, and input validation.
Responsibilities
• Architect and own end‑to‑end delivery across web apps, APIs, and indexers to ship user‑visible impact quickly and safely. • Design a scalable API and SDK strategy with clear versioning and docs to enable hundreds of external integrators to build on Morpho. • Build high‑performance data pipelines over on‑chain events using intelligent caching and query optimization to keep UIs sub‑second. • Raise engineering standards by leading design reviews, mentoring 5–10 engineers, and improving testing, observability, and reliability. • Improve system performance and cost by profiling hotspots and introducing pragmatic architectural changes that reduce p95 latency. • Partner with product, protocol, and business leads to clarify scope, tradeoffs, and success metrics so the team ships the right thing, faster. • Own incident readiness with dashboards, alerts, and on‑call practices to keep critical paths healthy. • What Success Looks Like • Understand our architecture, deploy a meaningful improvement or feature end‑to‑end, and set up your local + CI workflows. • Build relationships with product, protocol, and data stakeholders. Identify quick wins on performance or developer experience. • Lead the delivery of a major initiative, improving API or UI reliability and reducing p95 latency through caching and query changes. • Establish clear standards for APIs, testing, and observability that other engineers adopt. • Own the technical architecture for a product vertical, with strong reliability and performance metrics. • Be a go‑to technical authority for full‑stack decisions, unlocking faster shipping across teams and helping close hard problems.
Benefits
• Everyone has the potential to build something great for the world. But fulfilling that ambition almost always requires more: people willing to trust you with their capital. Yet access to capital still depends on where you live, who you know, and which institutions are willing to trust you. Even when capital is available, it sits fragmented across disconnected networks and hidden behind intermediaries. The result is a system that fails most of the people it should serve. Borrowers overpay. Lenders earn less than they should. Many are shut out entirely, not because they are unworthy of credit, but because today's infrastructure was never built to connect them. Morpho exists to solve this.

You'll be challenged: anyone can question work and decisions must be justified. We keep a high bar and match it with high support: we help each other unblock and share context openly, with low ego. More about our values: morpho.org/jobs. • The mission of this role is to own the technical architecture and end-to-end delivery of Morpho's product suite, spanning React frontends, GraphQL APIs, and on-chain data systems, ensuring the platform scales reliably as Morpho grows beyond $10B in TVL, while actively raising the technical bar across the engineering team. • We design benefits around deep work and growth, so you can do the best work of your career. Expect fair, top-tier compensation, real flexibility, time together in Paris, great health coverage, and support to keep learning. • Equal Opportunity • We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and hire based on talent, potential, and values alignment.
