DeFi Jobs

🪙 About Usual

Usual was born from a simple observation: dominant stablecoins operate like centralized banks — they capture bilions of revenue and don’t redistribute it. In parallel, most crypto tokenomics have failed to deliver long-term fairness, favoring insiders over users.

We’re here to change that.

Usual is the first stablecoin protocol that gives back the ownership and the value to its users. By turning users into stakeholders, we’re pioneering a new, more equitable financial infrastructure — one where value flows back to the community.

In just a few months, we built and launched a full protocol from scratch, introduced a new kind of stablecoin backed by tokenized US Treasuries (USD0), its yield-bearing counterpart (USD0++), and a revenue-sharing governance token ($USUAL).

The protocol quickly reached $1.8B in TVL before stabilizing around $800M during a period of major product and governance upgrades.

We’re a small, highly committed team of DeFi natives with a strong execution track record and a deep ambition to reshape how value circulates in crypto.

Joining Usual means working at the frontier of decentralized finance, owning your scope, moving fast, and collaborating with some of the best minds in the space.

✨ The Role

We’re looking for a Frontend UI Developer with a love for pixel-perfect integration, seamless motion, and high-performance interfaces.

You’ll be the go-to person for design implementation—working hand-in-hand with our other frontend dev (who handles data, logic, and smart contract interactions) and our product designer (Figma is the single source of truth).

Your work will make or break the user experience of the Usual dApp. We want someone who treats design like a craft, can bring mockups to life exactly as imagined (or even better), and understands that motion isn’t just decoration—it’s usability.

🔧 Stack & Tools

• React (Next.js)
• Tailwind CSS, Radix UI, Shadcn
• Figma Dev Mode (design-to-code handoff)
• Framer Motion (for animations)
• Vercel, Sentry
• Script integrations (e.g., GA, Segment, event tracking)

👀 What You’ll Do

• Take fully designed Figma components and implement them flawlessly in code.
• Collaborate with the frontend logic/dev lead to integrate components into the dApp.
• Push for motion-rich, polished interfaces that feel both delightful and efficient.
• Help maintain and evolve our UI component library.
• Ensure accessibility, responsiveness, and performance across devices and viewports.
• Implement tracking and event tools (GA, Segment) in collaboration with product and marketing.

🧠 What We’re Looking For

• A frontend purist who sees every pixel and cares about performance and polish.
• Previous experience working on a live dApp or Web3 product.
• Strong understanding of design systems and responsive layout techniques.
• Comfortable using Figma (Dev Mode) as the single source of truth.
• A passion for animations, motion design, and micro-interactions.
• Autonomy, initiative, and an eagerness to collaborate and push things forward.
• Bonus: You’ve worked with Framer Motion or similar animation libraries.

• Join one of the fastest-growing protocols in DeFi.
• Build the financial primitives of tomorrow with a small, elite team.
• Work on cutting-edge DeFi projects that have a real impact.
• No red tape, no middle layers—you ship.
• Competitive salary and token options.
