About The Team
We generally operate with small teams working closely together on a wide variety of projects that range from an apparel design studio in the browser, to offline-enabled mobile web applications. We have products in production today built with a range of platforms. We are not religious about our technology, but choose the best for the problem.
Our web stack today primarily includes Ruby on Rails, node.js, .NET, Angular, React and we have C and Go in production as well.
About You
You want the web to compete with native platforms on every level; from building compelling experiences to maintenance, usability, and distribution. Regardless of what browser you use for daily use, you strongly believe that testing, supporting, and encouraging use of all browsers is core to the current and future success of the web.
You are a human first, a developer second. You are willing and able to partake in and lead communication with project stakeholders. You should be able to explain technical constraints to both technical and non-technical audiences.
You will succeed in this role if you:
3+ years of experience working on large development projects
Get equally excited about great UI and API design
Can articulate the difference between progressive enhancement and graceful degradation
Could have a conversation about the importance of animation in an interface
Know what Servo, Gecko, Trident, Blink, and Webkit are
Work well with others
Love the journey as much as the destination
Stay current with the evolving HTML5 specification
