Senior Angular Engineer (Contract)

Think Company operates in the United States as a fully remote company. As such, please consider this a remote (work from home) position.

We are looking for a Contract Senior Angular Engineer to join our team at Think Company. This individual will play a key role in the technical design and implementation of web applications in the Angular JavaScript framework.

No matter your technical and teamwork qualifications, we're looking for someone who happily contributes to documentation, demonstrates attention to detail, has strong communication skills, and aligns with Think Company's core values.
