What you'll do

Build and create with JavaScript across the platform. Build delightful user experiences in React and power them with a reliable backend in Node.

Investigate and debug any issues using our monitoring & logging tools as well as create clear action items to resolve them.

Help maintain our high technical bar by participating in code reviews and interviewing new team members.

Who you are
