This will be a 50/50 Full stack role and the Candidate will be working on both Backend and Frontend equally using our JavaScript stack

Here’s the impact you’ll make and what we’ll accomplish together:
As a Senior Developer, you will mentor junior team members and help build new features to enhance the overall experience for our customers. You are a guiding voice for developers, who can balance day-to-day workload, with an eye for future improvements of your team and their work.
