  • Solid understanding of JavaScript fundamentals
  • Understand the complexities of the DOM and CSS, especially how they interact
  • Interpret UI performance metrics and address issues accordingly
  • Know and understand the implications of the latest developments in ECMAScript
  • Navigate and write backend code where necessary
  • Interested in working in a team applying data science to solve challenging business problems

You might:

  • Build UIs to schedule multi-party communication with heavy constraints
  • Integrate our software to browsers, web email clients, and web calendars to meet our users' needs
  • Launch new product initiatives that delight our clients and differentiate our services
  • Develop innovative search and discovery interfaces that are mission-critical to our knowledge-search business

Who you would work with:

  • You would join a dynamic, multinational, and diverse team who enjoy solving interesting problems in a collaborative environment
  • We have self-taught engineers as well as graduates from top Computer Science and Engineering schools
  • Your co-workers will include motivated recent graduates as well as experienced industry leaders from companies such as Google and Amazon
