You’re an experienced Lead Software Engineer and you have a deep understanding of React or React Native (Elixir or Ruby a plus).  You’re a natural leader.  You’ll take part in architectural decisions on our projects.  You’ll work with the team to ensure consistency across projects (effective use of automated tests, coding standards, frameworks, patterns, etc.).  We’re a digital product development agency and you’ll occasionally work directly with our clients to train their engineers on-site in order to transition development to them.  You’ll also be heads down coding the other half of the time.

You’ll be a valued team member and build mobile and web applications for our clients.  We operate like a startup, even when building products for large companies, and leverage the latest software development practices.  You’ll have autonomy to make decisions and influence the technical direction of the company.
