• Rapidly learn new tools, frameworks and platforms.

What you bring

• Extensive experience (7+ years) building, deploying, and maintaining web applications with large numbers of users.
• A high degree of proficiency and experience (7+ years) with JavaScript, both on the client- and server-side (Node.js)
• Experience building SPAs (single page applications), using frameworks such as React, Svelte and their ecosystems.
• Experience building responsive mobile web sites.
• Experience collaborating with designers and working with wireframes, mockups, and design systems.
• Experience developing software products in a startup or highly lean environments
• An understanding of accessibility on the web (screen reader compatibility, color/contrast choices, etc).
• Experience working in, contributing to, or managing open source software projects.
• Experience working with CI/CD systems and frontend test automation suites.

Bonus

• Mobile app development experience, either using a native language (i.e. Swift) or a cross-platform framework (i.e. React Native).
• An understanding of social media platforms; the Fediverse; and web authentication, integration, syndication technologies and approaches.
• Full stack experience, with ability to contribute and collaborate on backend, infrastructure, and ops.
