About The Position

You are an outstanding front-end software engineer who wants to build React applications on top of a service layer powered by cutting-edge Machine Learning and AI technologies. You excel at building modern browser-based JavaScript applications that make Ajax calls to RESTful Microservices.

You are very productive and deliver extremely high quality front-end code where the separation of concerns is clear and follows architectural best practices. You apply software patterns well and take testing your code seriously. You write unit tests while writing production code rather than as an afterthought. Your code meets the rigorous standards needed for Continuous Integration workflows involving multi-environment feature validation and frequent deployments to customers.

You work well in cross-functional settings where you are expected to collaborate with members of wide-ranging disciplines including Design, DevOps, Product, and Data Science. You value the security of a company with a proven business model and enjoy the opportunities a startup offers. You have a great work ethic and are able to take on major projects from start to finish, either solo or collaborating with other engineers. On a personal note, you are a kind and understanding team member who is friendly and eager to work with others and help them grow in their roles as you grow in yours. You maintain a positive attitude throughout the Agile Sprint cycle and help the team deliver at a steady pace on a week-to-week basis.
