What You’ll Do- Build Awesome UI Architectures: You love React and modern web application development and want to be involved with building nothing less than the most performant, scalable UI architecture possible.
- Collaboration and Communication: Work closely with product designers, architects, and users to help extend and develop new UI patterns.
