Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the delivery of interactive product features across the full stack, from the browser experience to the services that power it.

• Hands-on individual contributor who has delivered polished, interactive features on a flagship consumer-facing product at a well-regarded technology company.
• Full-stack delivery experience, pairing a modern JavaScript front end with the backend services that support it.
• History of contributing to several sizeable projects, including leading the individual contribution on at least one mid-sized effort.
• Experience running busy production systems, from design through release.
• A reputation among colleagues as someone they turn to for debugging help and technical answers.
• Good judgment on when to adopt an outside library versus write the code in-house.
• Ability to explain complex technical ideas clearly to peers.
• Availability for in-person and synchronous collaboration when needed.
• Experience at both an established larger company and a growing startup is ideal.

Bonus points
