UX Engineer

prePO is a decentralized trading platform allowing anyone to go long or short on any pre-IPO stock or pre-IDO token.

Our mission is to democratize pre-public investing - transforming a world of financial exclusion into a world of permissionless access. 🌎

At prePO, we are building a fully-remote, globally-distributed dream team. Like a professional sports team, we want every player on the field to be a superstar in their position and play extremely effectively with others.

We are also backed by world-class investors (>$4M in funding to date), including founders from Gnosis, 1inch, Illuvium, Zapper, and more!

At prePO, the following team values describe the people we want to work with (and the people you would want to work with too!):

• Passion: being engaged and enthusiastic about the work, the mission, and making an effective impact on the world.
• Autonomy: being proactive, resourceful, and making decisions in prePO’s best interest.
• Overcommunication: sharing feedback and all relevant information - directly, frequently, clearly and empathetically.
• High Performance: producing high-quality outcomes with speed and consistency, and continuously raising the bar for yourself and others.
• Focus: being laser-focused on high-priority, high-impact tasks that work us towards achieving prePO’s mission.
• Incrementalism: delivering value via incremental iterations.
• Simplicity: seeking out the simplest solutions.
• Innovation: embracing creativity, and leading the industry with forward-thinking ideas.
• Decentralization: valuing solutions which are trustless, permissionless and automated.
