What we're looking for

You care about crafting delightful user experiences. You like to write code to enable people to do something and you understand that details and things like copy matter. If your focus is only on code this might not be the best role for you.
Prior experience shipping non-trivial apps using React + Redux (or equivalent). Our front end is written in React, so you’ll need really strong React and JavaScript knowledge to build fast and thoughtful user interfaces.
You have experience writing tests, giving good feedback on other people’s code, and writing proposals for more complicated problems that are thoughtful and clear. As we’re a remote company (even outside of pandemics) communication and clarity are really important.
Due to the nature of what we work on, computer science-y problems come up frequently. We’re not picky about a specific degree or accolade, but you’ll be expected to write fast and performant code and deal with a fair bit of data structure manipulation regularly.
We like everyone to care about the nuts and bolts of how to make things look good, so you’ll be expected to use our style guide and if necessary write or update our CSS, so comfort in CSS and familiarity with things like design systems and component libraries is a necessity.
You’ve worked on a large and complex JavaScript project. Metabase is a big product and code base so the ability to adapt existing code and integrate new code into established systems is important and you should feel comfortable digging in.

Not essential, but nice to have

Knowledge and prior experience with data visualization (especially if it has involved dc.js and d3.js).
Previous contributions to open source (not a requirement, but a huge plus).
Either pre-existing knowledge or interest in learning some Clojure, the language much of the backend of our application is written in.
