The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Own the customer-facing mobile and web applications from design through production, focusing on an intuitive experience for non-technical users.

What you'll do
- Build and maintain mobile and web applications end to end, from interface to data layer.
- Design simple, trustworthy user experiences that reduce confusion for non-technical users.
- Shape data models and monitor application performance, including latency and API usage, as the user base grows.
- Iterate quickly through experiments and A/B tests, shipping improvements to production continuously.

- Close attention to detail and curiosity about how users behave.
- Solid frontend ability to make an application look and feel right for a non-technical audience.
- High agency and autonomy, comfort in a flat team of individual contributors, and a willingness to listen and learn.
