- Build modular and highly scalable UI components using Javascript.
- Take charge of the design, development, and maintenance of a performant and scalable data-driven application.
- Build and improve visual tools that interface with a NoSQL database, to enable users to build a Knowledge Management system quickly.

- Leverage and develop microservices and REST APIs to deliver a variety of features to users.
- Rapidly fix bugs, solve problems, and proactively strive to improve our product and technology.
Requirements
- 3+ years experience working with JavaScript.
- Strong computer science fundamentals.
- Experience translating concepts and ideas into functional, unique user experiences.
Desired
- Proficient with React and the React ecosystem.
