More about our team
Work with a team of amazing developers and designers to build simple, beautiful and consistent user experiences for our web apps. We are always growing, learning, and adapting, in and out of the office. Our teams are crazy smart and direct and we ask hard questions and challenge each other to constantly improve our work. We are driven but team oriented. We're dedicated to agile methodology and big believers in 'lean' (which means we don't do documentation for documentation's sake). We know the importance of validating our assumptions about users and implement various types of testing to prove assumptions right or wrong. Our bottom line is improving our user's experience - no matter what.

Qualifications
On your first day, we'd love for you to have:

• Great experience across the board with a strong depth of knowledge in Javascript (ReactJS)

• Keen interest in open source and learning new technologies

• Understanding of how to build performant, decoupled, testable, maintainable code

• Enjoyment of sharing knowledge with teammates, and working collaboratively when you need help

It's great, but not required, if you have:

• The ability to write components in plain JavaScript/TypeScript, but the intelligence to leverage existing libraries when it makes sense

• We're heavily using React, and we write all new code with ES6 features, so familiarity with some or all of these is helpful

• Some industry experience with public cloud offerings (e.g., AWS, GAE, Azure)

• Understanding of typical web application, SOA and micro-services patterns.

• Knowledge of open source libraries, tools and frameworks (e.g. for logging, wiring, testing, building)

• Ability and willingness to learn new programming languages, frameworks and paradigms
