Senior Frontend Engineer

A completely different frontend position

Are you looking for a different frontend journey? Where frontend engineering is not just off-the-shelf CRUD apps and presentational websites? What are your thoughts on not doing any routing or basically no network requests at all? 

This role will level-up your browser SDK game by making you think about garbage collectors and manual memory allocations, multithreading, dealing with both product and technical requirements, driving architectural changes — and all that while wrestling with WebAssembly, Typescript, package managers and C++ code.

You will develop SDKs that work inside web browsers and are used to extract and verify data from various documents and barcodes using device cameras. Our goal is to have 100% coverage on all major platforms (iOS, Android, Windows) and browsers (Chromium, Webkit, Firefox), and so far we are really good at it!

Here’s what you’ll do
