To be successful in this role you must have proven leadership role (!!), front-end development skills (many years), enjoy developing nice UIs, think about the details and the user flow (UX).

You should code using TypeScript and strong typing, have good experience with React (and a bit of Vue), and OpenAPI/REST APIs/GraphQL to fetch data from our APIs (Java/Scala). You must used to work with backend teams for synchronization (not in nodejs).

We are all full-remote with flexible hours. You will report directly to the CTO.
