The Role
Faraway is looking for a Senior React Engineer to join our Platform Team. Our platform gives game studios all the tools they need to build player-driven economies utilizing the blockchain as an open and decentralized database. This platform includes products such as login and multi-chain inventory management (Faraway Connect), payments (Faraway Checkout), as well as a number of game-specific meta features with the blockchain complexity abstracted behind traditional APIs.
