What your role IS:
You'll step into the role of a true collaborator, where your voice carries weight in every decision about products and technology.
Your tasks will encompass building features, squashing bugs, enhancing performance, and learning new AI technologies.
You'll be in charge of not only the code but also the design, testing, and documentation for everything you create.
You’ll join and participate in the end-to-end creation process: from ideation to development of new features.
You'll have a chance to make a big impact here. It's also a great place to learn and grow.
What your role IS NOT:
Endless meetings, estimation guesswork, or slogging through an infinite backlog
A venture capital-backed unicorn chasing growth at any cost
Who we’re looking for
You’re a product-focused, senior TypeScript developer with a good number of years under your belt.
You're a self-learner, who can write entire features all by yourself and are open to feedback on your own code.
You get the balance between super clean code and code that just gets the job done.
You're fun to work with. You're the kind of person who's open-minded and positive. You generally give folks the benefit of the doubt.
English might not be your first language, but you've got a solid grasp of it. You wouldn't break a sweat writing docs or chatting about a fresh feature with a customer.
You're a pro communicator.
What’s the tech stack?
TypeScript
Node.js
Firestore Database
Vue
Google App Engine
Google Cloud Tasks
Requirements
TypeScript Proficiency: A minimum of 5-7 years of hands-on experience with TypeScript, including a deep understanding of its features, type systems, and best practices.
Frontend Development: Skilled in frontend development technologies such as React or Angular, as TypeScript is commonly used in web development.
Full-Stack Development: A broad understanding of both frontend and backend development, enabling seamless integration of TypeScript code throughout the product. Must have experience with Node.js.
Testing: Expertise in unit testing and end-to-end testing with tools like Jest, Mocha, or Cypress to ensure product quality.
Problem-Solving: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to address complex issues and optimize product performance.

Nice-to-haves (but not required!)
Experience with Zendesk, Help Scout, or OpenAI APIs

Remote Work Experience: Experience working effectively in remote or distributed teams, showcasing adaptability and strong communication skills in a remote work environment
