  • Collaborating and designing cross-language / cross-agent concepts, algorithms and approaches
  • Working within Node.js language internals to provide deep, but invisible, integrations with other Node.js libraries and frameworks
  • Participating in the solution maintenance, assisting support teams to tackle customer problems

What You Bring:

  • Professional backend Node.js experience
  • Experience with developing libraries (packages) for Node.js
  • Experience working on an open-source project with a large community
