Senior Full-Stack Engineer (Soft Offer)

Please Note

This position is currently a soft offer until the company secures Seed funding. It provides an exceptional opportunity to join a highly capable founding team and help build the future of Autonomous Worlds from the ground up. As we secure funding and grow, founding team members will receive competitive salaries and meaningful equity. During this waiting period, you are encouraged to explore other opportunities or part-time work.

You don't need to contribute in advance. If you are interested, you can still attend the weekly Scrum to get a better understanding of the latest development and any challenges

About CHIC

We are a Web3 × AI startup dedicated to building Autonomous Worlds, integrating AI with digital assets to redefine virtual economies and on-chain user experiences. Currently, we are bootstrapped and preparing for Seed financing. Our goal is to secure funding within 6–12 months after launching MVP 1.0, building a vibrant community while gaining traction. CHIC focuses on innovation in on-chain consumer applications, shaping the next generation of Autonomous Worlds.

Opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to join CHIC once we officially launch, helping us bring our vision to life. This is a rare opportunity to join an Autonomous World startup at an early stage. You will develop innovative AI and blockchain applications, creating real user-driven demand alongside the founding team. This is not a traditional engineering role; it is an opportunity to help build SIAS (Semantic Interaction Assets System) and the foundational framework for a non-gaming Autonomous World from scratch.

Team Culture & Growth

Our team embraces a flat, non-bureaucratic culture that preserves the “startup spirit” even as we grow. Engineers are empowered to learn quickly, iterate fast, and experiment freely—failure is seen as part of the path to success. We support remote work based on contribution rather than hours logged, giving you flexibility while maximizing your impact. Early team members will have the opportunity to shape the Autonomous World ecosystem and enjoy early career growth and leadership opportunities within the company.

Your Responsibilities

• Design and build scalable architecture for CHIC's Genesis Diary and Accord platforms, in close collaboration with the CTO
• Develop APIs, services, and data pipelines that interact with blockchain components
• Build front-end applications and user interfaces for narrative-driven NFT experiences
• Translate designed composable mechanisms into intuitive user experiences
• Establish engineering standards for code quality, testing, and system reliability

What We're Looking ForRequired:

• 5+ years of full-stack development experience (React/Node.js/TypeScript)
• 1+ year experience integrating with blockchain components or Web3 APIs
• Familiarity with NFT concepts and token-based user interactions
• Expertise in cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP) and database design
• Strong skills in high-performance application system design
• Ability to quickly learn and experiment with emerging technologies

Bonus Skills:

• Experience with Ethereum-compatible APIs or smart contract interaction libraries (Web3.js/Ethers.js)
• Understanding of Autonomous Worlds or Web3 gaming fundamentals
• Basic AI/ML integration knowledge

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: $130k–$140k
• Equity: 0.3%–0.5% ESOP
• Remote work + PTO and holidays

Ready to Build the Future?

Join us early and become a core engineer in one of the most ambitious Web3 projects at the Seed stage. If you've ever dreamed of being part of a “first five engineers” story, this is your chance to contribute to a revolutionary project from day one.
