Senior Frontend Developer (React) / Uber Developer

About the role

We are looking for a strong Senior Front End Engineer who has strong experience with React. You will be a key member of our small frontend development team making important technical decisions. If you love to code, like to build APIs, and enjoy working on unique challenges within a collaborative team of developers to build meaningful products, then please apply.

If you have experience with Scrum and can lead a small group of developers, that is a HUGE bonus.

If you are a ‘uber developer’, you will move to the front of the line. Essentially, ‘uber developer' is a jack of all trades who can do a little bit of everything. In addition to being a developer, this person is also a software architect and can help with some high level software design decisions. We also need the uber developer to do code review, provide some technical guidance to the junior developers, to help do some mentoring, support, and maybe a bit of training.
