  • Work with product managers as well as other engineering groups to translate high level requirements into actionable solutions
  • Drive the incorporation of new technologies and improve development practices
  • Mentor others and encourage knowledge sharing in order to drive the growth of the team

  • A desire to deepen knowledge and understanding of TypeScript
  • Strong problem solving skills and a willingness to solve new problems in unique ways

  • Good communication skills to work with other teams and explain technical problems to non-technical stakeholders
  • Experience with developing production quality systems
  • A good understanding of basic concepts of unit testing and a willingness to practice TDD and BDD
