Job Description
<p style="min-height:1.5em">This role owns the frontend of Superluminal, a new perpetuals exchange built at Douro Labs, at the exact layer where the trading experience gets decided. This is not a role built around a fixed spec. It carries real ownership over how perps trading feels and works for the people. <br /><br />Superluminal is built to be fast and to give traders better pricing than most exchanges currently offer. Perps is a crowded space, but it's also one with plenty of success stories, and the team believes Superluminal has what it takes to be among the best out there.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Location:</strong> US Remote <strong>Language:</strong> English (Fluent)</p><h2><br /><strong>About the Team and This Role</strong></h2><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Team Structure:</strong> The frontend team at Superluminal is currently a three-person effort, and this hire will be one of the first people working on it full time.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Ownership:</strong> This role carries a high degree of independence. Decisions made here ship fast and shape the product directly, with very little process in between.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Domain Fit:</strong> This role calls for someone who trades perps personally, or follows the space closely enough to have real opinions about it. That understanding of what a trader actually needs is what separates a good perps interface from a merely functional one.</p><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Growth Path:</strong> The role is an individual contributor position day to day, with room to grow into a leadership role over time for the right person, though this is not a requirement.</p><h2><strong>Responsibilities</strong></h2><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Build and own the frontend</strong> for Superluminal using TypeScript and React</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Design the core trading experience:</strong> order entry, positions, pricing display, charts</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Make UX decisions</strong> that reflect how a perps trader actually thinks, not just what's technically clean</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Operate with a high degree of autonomy</strong> on a small, fast-moving team</p></li></ul><h2><strong>Desired Skills and Experience</strong></h2><ul style="min-height:1.5em"><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Senior or staff-level frontend experience,</strong> comfortable working with minimal oversight</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Strong, hands-on skills in TypeScript and React</strong></p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Genuine familiarity with perps trading,</strong> ideally as a personal trader or close follower of the space</p></li><li><p style="min-height:1.5em"><strong>Comfort using AI tools like Claude</strong> to move quickly, balanced with the ability to solve hard problems independently</p></li><li
