Senior Frontend Engineer
Job Description
About prePO ð
prePO is an investing platform offering tokenized exposure to the top pre-IPO companies like SpaceX and OpenAI.
â
We live in a world of financial exclusion, where retail investors are systematically barred from participating in private markets (where most wealth is created). Even those who do gain access are stuck with systems that are slow, costly, fragmented, illiquid, capital-inefficient, and restrictive.

prePO changes the game. Our compliant, crypto-abstracted app allows anyone to seamlessly buy, sell, leverage, borrow against, and track pre-IPO positions using tokens backed by real-world holdingsâwith low fees, no lockups, and instant liquidityâfinally making pre-IPO investing efficient and accessible for all.
Come join us in our mission to democratize pre-IPO investing! ð
