Applicants need deep expertise in either front-end or back-end web development with working ability in the other, experience leading a development team or taking initiative on projects (any title), and experience in architecture, technical decisions and operations. Experience with Rust, TypeScript, Ruby, GraphQL, AWS or launching SaaS products is preferred.
