Applicants should be ready to work with the community and help guide engineering best practices regardless of platform.
What you’ll do
- Collaborate proactively with a distributed team
- Write high quality code, with unit and functional tests, to create new features
- Debug issues and produce high quality code to fix them
- Review code produced by other engineers
