The Role

Faraway is looking for a Senior React Engineer to join our Rift app team. At the core of our work is the Rift app, which includes the DevPortal and Trading. This is our flagship product and the foundation of the entire ecosystem. Its central component is the $RIFT token, designed not just as a medium of exchange, but as a fundamental support layer for AI agents capable of participating in complex on-chain economies. With Rift, developers can create and enhance agent functionality through a module marketplace — enabling use cases ranging from blockchain node validation to NFT art generation and token management.
