Job Description
We’re seeking someone who can help support our React projects as a front-end UI developer. We’re looking for developers who are excited to build user interfaces in a clean, scalable fashion in the browser.
In this role, you will be responsible for developing and implementing performant React Typescript components, understanding and managing component state (locally or through Redux), and contributing to an entire web application architecture. You will not only be working on individual small components of the project, but should be comfortable learning and speaking to an entire application build.
Our primary goal is to inspire, delight, and inform others while continuously challenging ourselves. If that’s appealing to you, then do get in touch and include some links to what you’ve built.
