• Deep knowledge of TypeScript and functional programming patterns

• A desire to collaborate with the team, knowledge share, mentor, and work together to find optimal solutions
• Comfortable being nimble and experimental while recognizing the core functionality can’t be negatively impacted by ‘add on’ efforts
• A love for continued learning individually and as a team, as well as making education more accessible for others

• Experience working on projects from ideation and inception through working prototype

Responsibilities
