ABOUT YOU You’ve built sophisticated SPAs using one or more mainstream frameworks like Angular, Knockout, Backbone, Meteor, React, etc.; and you’re chomping at the bit to try another. You think in REST and always notice when your CSS is off by a pixel. You know the difference between call() and apply(), but you also know it usually doesn’t matter. Apps that react as fast as you can click have you opening up the source code. Working with more junior developers gets you excited for the coaching opportunities, and more senior developers for the learning. Groking the business requirements is second-nature. You own what you wrote and jump in to help your team support the product when there’s a fire, and when the smoke clears you’re one of the first to say “ok, how can we make sure that doesn’t happen again?”. You’re passionate and opinionated about great user experience; and most importantly, you love building real, working apps that surprise and delight your customers.
