What can you bring to the role?

5+ years of software development experience
You thrive learning new technologies and problem-solving with curiosity and urgency
You think like a customer, understanding their pain points. You believe in understanding why work is being done and empathizing with the users, not just implementing code and moving onto the next task.
You build front ends with the needs of our users in mind, partnering with our UX team members to build the best experiences for our teachers, students, and other personas.
Alignment to our stack (described further in this posting) is nice, but diversity of experience is better.
