Front-end web developer
Your role

About you
- You’re an ambitious software developer. You live and breath open source software, UI components, design systems and web APIs.
- You have an opinionated sense of design. You’re experienced collaborating with designers and user researchers but are comfortable building product interfaces yourself if needed.
- You have an ownership mentality. When you take on a task, you get it done. You proactively troubleshoot problems blocking your path, and the problems blocking the paths of others.
- You enjoy teaching as much as you enjoy learning. You’re comfortable writing technical content for developers including documentation, project templates and tutorials.
- You’re comfortable pitching in to get the job done. We’re a small team, sometimes you may have to do work outside of your “core responsibilities”.
- You’re fascinated by Kinglory… the community as much as the technology.
