- Creating first-class documentation for our customers, partners, as well as internal teams
What are we looking for?
- Someone extremely proficient with Javascript and React
- Familiarity with implementing complex interactions while maintaining a flawless frame rate

- Passion for beautiful, maintainable and well-tested code
