● Our web application is written in modern Javascript (ES6) and built with React and Flux. 
● To handle external API data in our client, we wrote a library called Vaska: https://github.com/albert-io/vaska 
● Our API services are built with Elixir, Phoenix, and PostgreSQL. 
● Our iOS and Android apps are being developed with React Native. 
● We run on Google Cloud using Kubernetes and Docker. 
● We use Webpack and Mix as our build tools. 
● We test with Selenium and WebdriverIO running through Mocha and Chai for acceptance tests, Jest for unit tests, and ExUnit for the API.

THE ROLE 
As a Frontend Software Engineer you will work with modern Javascript libraries to create beautiful, interactive, and responsive interfaces that help people accelerate their learning.

We look for people who are passionate learners, work well in teams, and take pride in their work. It is not as important to us that engineers have specific experience with React, so long as they bring strong relevant experience.

Specifically, the following skills are helpful:

● Experience in developing single-page applications with Javascript frameworks like React, Angular, Ember, or Polymer. 
● Familiarity with Javascript design patterns and capabilities like promises, closures, block-scoped constructs, modules, and singletons. 
● Expertise with writing HTML5 and CSS3 for mobile responsive web applications. 
● Experience writing automated tests for Javascript-powered client applications. 
● Superior problem solving and prioritization skills. The ability to consider a solution for right now, a week from now, and a month from now and strike the right balance to deliver value to users.
