• You will be developing in a JavaScript environment, with special emphasis on TypeScript, Node.js, and React.

What skills and experience do you need?

• Industry experience building fast, reliable, real-time web-based applications.

• Fluency in a dynamic language like Javascript, Python, Ruby, or similar.

• Knowledgeable about modern web technologies and excited to learn new ones, e.g. Node.js, ES6, TypeScript, React.

• Exposure to architectural patterns of a large, high-scale web application.

• Product minded: committed to building the best user experience.

• Business minded: understands the power of leveraging technology toward business outcomes.

• Ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced, collaborative, and high-growth environment.

• Understand the trade-offs in employing different engineering solutions to a problem, valuing pragmatism over idealism.
