Turnkey is hiring a Staff Frontend Engineer

About the Role

Turnkey is hiring a Staff Frontend Engineer to lead the evolution of how developers build on our platform. You will own the ergonomics, architecture, and interface design of our frontend SDKs, creating developer-facing tools that feel effortless, secure, and future-proof.

What You'll Do

  • Own and evolve our frontend SDKs: architect user flows, manage versioning, shape developer ergonomics, and build in patterns that scale
  • Design and implement UI components using React and TypeScript, across both SDKs and internal surfaces like our dashboard
  • Partner with engineering and product teams to build examples, demos, and documentation that meet developers where they are
  • Act as a player/coach internally – setting standards, offering guidance, and reviewing code with an eye towards craft and polish
  • Build with empathy: think like a user and a customer, and shape SDKs that are intuitive, secure, and hard to misuse
  • Help define frontend best practices and tooling within Turnkey

What We're Looking For

  • 8+ years of engineering experience
  • Meaningful time spent building developer tools, SDKs, or design systems
  • Deep fluency with modern frontend technologies, especially React, React Native, and TypeScript
  • Experience building and maintaining frontend SDKs used by external developers
  • A strong product mindset and sharp technical instincts

Nice to Have

  • Experience with authentication flows, session management, and secure browser interactions
  • Contributions to open source projects
  • Prior work on design systems or component libraries at scale
  • Prior professional crypto experience
  • Familiarity with the crypto frontend stack (ethers.js, web3.js, EIP-1193, client-side private key management, etc.)

Technical Stack

  • React
  • React Native
  • TypeScript

Benefits & Compensation

  • Full benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life, disability, HSA/FSA, 401(k)
  • Paid parental leave
  • Unlimited PTO
  • $3,000/yr learning and development budget to attend industry conferences
  • Multiple team offsites per year
  • Macbook Pro laptop
  • Lunch stipend (for those physically in the New York City office)

Work Mode

This is a hybrid role for candidates based in New York City.

Turnkey is an equal opportunity employer.
