About this role

Lightning is hiring for a Full Stack Engineer role (full-time). See the official posting for full details.

Requirements

  • You build and ship production-quality software. You have a portfolio, work history, or set of projects that demonstrate this, we'd love to see them.
  • You have strong TypeScript and React experience, and you are comfortable with modern full-stack web application architecture.
  • You have experience with server-side rendering, API clients, browser storage, state management, and the practical tradeoffs of building complex web apps for real users.
  • You use AI-native development tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar as part of your normal workflow, not as a novelty.
  • You can take ambiguous product requirements and turn them into working software independently, while communicating clearly along the way.
  • You have strong engineering practices: automated testing, code review, documentation, debugging, and a bias toward simple, maintainable designs.
  • You care about product quality. You do not just wire up APIs, you think about the user, the edge cases, the loading states, and the failure modes.
  • You are excited about Bitcoin, Lightning, and the mission of making Bitcoin cheap, fast, and simple for everyone.
