Qualifications:

• 2+ years of professional experience developing with Ruby on Rails

• 2+ years of professional experience developing with React.js or similar JS framework (React Native is a plus)

• Experience building API-driven applications or endpoints

• Understand how to organize code across the stack: what belongs in the frontend, what in the back

• Familiar with automated testing and JS build and packaging systems like Webpack and Jest

**You might be a fit if you have: **

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Enjoy helping organize and scope high priority projects and plans to keep us moving forward
