An overview of this role

We’re currently a team of 5 backend, 3 frontend, and 1 fullstack engineer, a product manager, an engineering manager, and a designer.

We work in smaller sub-teams of 2-5 engineers focusing on a single project for 1-3 months.

• Support other frontend engineers and advocate for quality during code-reviews.
• Participate in the Quality Rotation
