What we're looking for
- Production-grade frontend experience with React and TypeScript.
- A portfolio or work sample showing a high level of polish and craft, in a range of styles including minimalist or graphic-design-led.
- Prior work showing close attention to micro-interactions and frontend polish.
- Experience with data-heavy business or developer-facing products, with a portfolio featuring complex table and form based dashboards.
- Hands-on experience with micro-interaction work.
- A track record of spending most of your time building and shipping frontend code, rather than design-only or prototyping work.
