The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Build reusable interactive front-end components for a browser-based product, concentrating on graphics rendering and speed.

What you'll do
- Create new interactive components that hold users' attention and make core concepts engaging.
- Design clear, expressive APIs that are used by both people and automated AI systems.

- Collaborate daily with product, design and content colleagues in a cross-functional group.
