What your role would be?

We are seeking a Front End Developer to join our core engineering team. Teams are explicitly small and built on mutual respect and high trust. It's not a fit for everyone, but when there's a fit, it’s one of the most rewarding places to work.

Job Responsibilities and Duties

We believe the best product is the one that helps users accomplish their goals while growing the business. To join us on this journey, you'll be required to:

• Build reusable code and libraries for future use.

• Indulged in projects around Data Visualization
• UX design principles and frameworks
• Are acquainted with testing frameworks and performance measurement tools

If you don’t meet 100% of the above qualifications, you should still seriously consider applying. Studies show that you can still be considered for a role if you meet just 50% of the role’s requirements. We’re building a diverse team whose skills balance and complement one another.
