You'll have the following skills and experience:

• Proven commercial experience of working with React and Node;
• Experienced in JavaScript, including concepts like asynchronous programming, closures and ES6;
• Experience in distributed version control systems (e.g. Git);
• Experience in databases (both relational and schema-less);
• A strong focus on continuous integration and delivery;
• Building high-performance and scalable applications;
• Good understanding of the design and implementation of RESTful web services;
• Familiarity with performance monitoring tools;
• You can keep a cool head when debugging production issues.
  
  

• Self-motivated, proactive and continually looking for ways to improve and develop yourself;
• A good communicator, both in writing and verbally. You'll be able to explain technical ideas and concepts in business-friendly language;
• Detail oriented;
• Used to working in a team-oriented, collaborative environment;
• Analytical and problem-solving oriented;
• A genuine believer in diversity and fairness.
  
  

• The chance to work with a forward-thinking, ethical, and fun group of people and to develop and grow your skills in a fast-moving business
