What we're looking for
We're looking for an experienced frontend focused engineer to join our team of 5.
We're looking for candidates from diverse backgrounds who are interested in:
Developing the core foundation of a realtime collaborative web app using CRDTs and WebSockets
Building complex AI workflows into the product
Moving fast and shipping to production daily
Thinking about frontend performance as a top priority
Building sophisticated and performant drag and drop interfaces
Debugging thorny and complex bugs without much to go on
Reading and suggesting improvements to open source projects that are at the core of the Gamma web application
Building out integrations and embedded apps
Above all, we're looking for someone with a passion for JavaScript and creating awesome web apps. We care as much about your attitude and curiosity as your technical knowledge, and less about how long your resume is.
