THE OPPORTUNITY

You will work alongside a group of dedicated and supportive programmers and designers, all focused on building and maintaining a complex software product used by one of the largest technology companies in the world.

IN THIS ROLE, YOU WILL:

• Enjoy building websites, web apps, and UIs
• Are deeply knowledgeable and experienced in JavaScript
• Build with modern JavaScript frameworks, especially Web Components or React
• Have used TypeScript as a superset alternative to JavaScript
• Use web development tools, like NPM, Browserify, Yarn, and/or Webpack
• Keep up on standards, like ES6, HTML5, and CSS3
• Care deeply about the user experience, including performance and accessibility
• Pay strict attention to the details, and tend to obsess over them
• Understand when and how to add interactive elements, like animation
• Take production systems seriously, and expect others to do the same
• Know how to independently debug a complicated problem, and do so regularly
• Constantly learn new things, and enjoy both teaching others and being taught
• Understand the importance of testing, and how to write good tests
• Value tight teamwork to achieve results that surpass a single individual’s contributions
• Understand that every product/project requires an array of fields and talents, and respectful communication is a critical component in success

WHO ARE WE?

We are a technology company that connects people, products, and experiences in powerful ways. Our growing team of designers, developers, producers, strategists, and content creators is based across the US and globally. We believe in the power of storytelling, human-centric design, and the intersection of creativity with code to further humanity's relationship with technology. If you're the kind of person who obsesses over details, thrives in a collaborative environment, and jumps at the opportunity to take on new challenges, this is the place for you.

WHEN APPLYING, INCLUDE:

• A description of yourself—what’s your background, interests, and experience? What are you looking for?
