Sr. Javascript Engineer - Full stack

An exciting role for the opinionated, world-class Javascript engineer. We expect at least 5 years experience passionately building client-side applications and server-side modules to support them. You'll build software for the browser, native MacOS & Windows (via Electron), create globally distributed embeddable widgets, write cloud functions, and develop other server-side solutions including the opportunity to work with Blockchain, graph databases, React Native, Spanner, and machine learning tech. An exceptional technical opportunity offering the potential to mature into leadership in a high-growth startup.

What we believe

1. Success is, first & foremost, a team story.

2. Great teams come from passion, empathy, and communication - Love what you do and the people you do it with, or find something else.

3. Diverse teams create better, more expansive solutions. We know this from experience and are committed to diversity not just as a matter of principle, but also of profit.

4. Simplicity in the user experience is almost always traceable to simplicity and elegance in code.

5. Titles are good and useful in many people-based systems, but decision making is most effective and complete with more engaged voices. This does not mean decision-by-committee, a fatally problematic decision-making model in any environment that values innovation, but it does mean that we actively seek out, engage, and then listen to a range of voices.

6. Assume nothing... think always in First Principles.

7. Laughter makes us (and you) happier.

8. Work should happen at a location where you feel most productive.

9. Engineering is the means, not the end. Ideology must be tempered by pragmatism.

10. Everything we do reflects our commitment to deliver a consistently fun & bold user experience.

11. The ability to identify problems (especially the systemic variety) is valuable. The ability to solve problems (especially the systemic variety) is most valuable.

12. Move Fast & Break Things is appropriate in many contexts, and disastrous in others. Not knowing the difference could lead to errors that carry existential consequences. Maturity means knowing the difference.

13. Communication should be done often, and repeatedly, to the point of redundancy. As Bernard Shaw causally noted, "The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place."

14. Hide nothing because transparency drives better decision making and promotes good behavior.

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place. - G Bernard Shaw
