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
• End-to-end ownership at real scale: $10B+ in TVL means performance issues affect real money. You'll feel the impact of your work immediately. • Technical authority: This is a force-multiplier position with architecture decision rights across the full product org, not a ticket-taking IC role. • Protocol quality: Morpho's core is ~600 lines of code. Simplicity-first is a genuine engineering philosophy that carries through to how the team operates. • Critical timing: The product layer is scaling fast to match protocol adoption. You'll shape the technical foundation at an inflection point. • Compensation: P90 base salary via Pave benchmarks + MORPHO token grants, with real upside as the protocol grows. • 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. • Ready to shape the future of finance?
