• Write feature specs and review teammate’s PRs.

Minimum Qualifications

• 4+ years of Frontend product development experience, building features end-to-end.
• Proven TypeScript & React expertise, with a track record of successful projects.
• Figma (or similar design tools) experience, with proven ability to follow design specs and translate into robust and maintainable UI
• Self-motivated and result-oriented, able to work in small teams with significant ownership and autonomy.
