• Write clear documentation and sample apps to support internal and external developers.
• Stay current with frontend security best practices and contribute to platform-wide improvements.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• Proven experience in frontend development, with deep expertise in React, TypeScript, and modern JavaScript.
• Proven experience designing and maintaining SDKs or libraries used by other developers.
• Strong understanding of OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and secure authentication flows.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and versioning strategies for SDKs.
• Experience with frontend performance optimization, cross-browser compatibility, and accessibility standards.
• Passion for clean code, automation, and continuous improvement.
• Excellent interpersonal skills and a passion for developer experience and security.

WHAT YOU’LL GET IN RETURN

• Competitive compensation with performance-based rewards.
• A flexible hybrid work model that supports work-life balance.
• Access to cutting‑edge tools and infrastructure to do your best work.
• Opportunities for continuous learning, including certifications, conferences, and internal mobility.
