We’re looking for front-end developers to join us. We're looking for someone who loves building products from a visual perspective. This role is right for you if you love nurturing a project, getting expertise in how the users interact with it and coming up with improvements for the application — for both end-users and your fellow developers. The ideal person for the job is a dedicated team player with a keen eye for detail. We value every year of experience in your field, but the experience isn't the be-all and end-all. It's just as important that you have the passion and knowledge to build high-quality software.
You care about security, code quality, scalability, performance, and simplicity. Above all, you seek operational excellence and apply the best engineering practices possible. Not everything that you or your team do can be perfect, but you make sure that you always know the trade-offs. You back your decisions with arguments. You don't care for hype and always try to find the best solution and technology for the job and its context.
You are a pragmatist and understand technology as the medium to build products. You understand the right balance between code readability, simplicity, development speed, performance, and maintainability.
You value team work, knowledge sharing, autonomy and ownership. You care are about your team, and contribute to an environment of psychological safety and healthy work culture.

We encourage our people to be themselves and embrace what makes us unique. We value different backgrounds, perspectives and experience, and we strongly believe this is key to achieving outstanding results.

You have experience working with React and in-depth knowledge and understanding of Javascript.
