Designing and building our platform is not an easy task. We require the best-of-the-best Software Engineers, Designers, and QA Testers, ready to bring the functionality of desktop software to the web, often pushing web browsers to the limits of what’s currently possible.

Our codebase is 95% JavaScript / TypeScript and the product is comprised of multiple single-page applications with a client-heavy focus.

We use libraries like React, Require, jQuery, and Backbone. Our product is architected around the HTML5 Canvas element. We’re not language zealots.

We believe in using the right tool for the job, and our current server-side infrastructure runs PHP, TypeScript, JavaScript, Node.

js, Redis, AWS Aurora, Docker, Jenkins, etc. on the Amazon AWS cloud.

• Mentoring other software engineers
• Suggesting new technologies and techniques to improve engineer productivity

• Collaborating with and mentoring your peers on security best practices
• And finally, deploying your code to production and seeing the customer create something amazing and beautiful with it
