Member of Technical Staff, Transparency Front-End Engineer

At Anchorage Digital, we are building the world’s most advanced digital asset platform for institutions to participate in crypto.

The frontend team is responsible for four key areas of Anchorage’s product surface- the KYC onboarding application, the Anchorage.com marketing site, the internal web dashboard, and the external facing client dashboard. We work to add new functionality to, support existing functionality for, and optimize each of these codebases.

We think about growth and career development differently at Anchorage Digital. We define performance as acquiring, possessing, and practicing a relevant set of skills and competencies - and the ability to apply them effectively and consistently. We have created the Factors of Growth & Impact to help Anchorage Digital “Villagers” better measure impact and the rich and rewarding learning that happens while exploring, developing, and mastering the capabilities and contributions within and outside of the Front End Software Engineering role. You will be coached, mentored and guided to grow your capabilities in 4 major areas:

Technical Skills:

• Create an intuitive user experience that simplifies complex data into digestible, actionable insights.
• Contribute to high fidelity data visualizations from the ground up, including: maps, charts, graphs, videos, and biometrics.

Complexity and Impact of Work:
