• Mentor junior engineers, provide high-quality code review guidance, and contribute to establishing the team processes and engineering standards for the new Dublin office.

What you'll bring

• 5+ years of experience in front-end software development.
• Solid, production-grade experience building dynamic, responsive user interfaces using React and TypeScript.
