Overview
Tradegenius is building a next-generation crypto terminal and exchange, with the deepest network coverage of any terminal, and the most liquid backers in the industry (ask for details). Front-end is not decorative here: it is the conversion engine, the retention loop, and the brand differentiator. While this role is front-end focused, we value engineers who can contribute across the stack.
