Frontend Developer ReactJS/NextJS



Excited to introduce our client- A NFT platform for Luxury brands. They are convinced that the progressive migration of our social life to the Metaverse will only accelerate. In an era of conscious consumerism, and overall saturation, the Metaverse opens vast opportunities for Luxury Brands to develop a new business segment around digital assets and connect with an entire new generation of users.

Our client is on a mission to help Brands enter this new market, while providing fans with a reference marketplace to purchase, trade, and showcase NFTs issued by Luxury brands. In essence, it sits at the intersection of Luxury, and 3 generation-defining trends: gaming, blockchain and metaverse.

Our client was formed in July 2021 by a team of serial entrepreneurs with deep backgrounds in crypto and luxury. We raised a 2.2m seed round in August from several venture capital investors, including Tioga Capital, White Star, Indico Capital, Shilling, as well as prominent business angels such as Formula E champion Félix da Costa. Our client is incorporated in Portugal, with most of our team located in the Lisbon / Cascais area. But we also have team members working from the US, France and Switzerland - we are a remote-first company.

They are looking for talented and motivated people who are willing to support the company structure for growth and success while keeping growing their own skills.
