This isn't your typical Senior Software Engineer position. As a key member of our growing JavaScript SDK team, you'll be at the forefront of innovation, working on everything from our cutting-edge SDKs for the React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, Hono, NestJS, and beyond.

Join our JavaScript SDK team and get ready to build the future. You'll be at the forefront, working on:

• A Universe of JavaScript Challenges: Dive deep into our extensive suite of JavaScript SDKs, with a broad focus on framework support spanning the modern JS ecosystem — from frontend frameworks like React, Vue, and their meta-frameworks Next.js and Nuxt, to server-side and edge runtimes like NestJS and Hono. Your work will directly empower millions of developers to build better, more reliable software, regardless of their framework of choice

• End-to-End Ownership: We believe in giving our engineers the autonomy to see their vision through. You'll have the freedom to plan, implement, and ship your code, from writing robust unit and integration tests to crafting crystal-clear documentation that educates both our team and our customers.

• The AI-Powered Developer Experience: We're committed to leveraging the latest advancements to work smarter, not harder. You'll utilize AI tools to supercharge your productivity and focus on what truly matters: solving complex problems and delivering exceptional value

• Direct Impact and Connection: Say goodbye to layers of bureaucracy. You'll be on the front lines, assisting our Customer Operations team to squash critical bugs and interacting directly with our vibrant user base on GitHub and at industry conferences

• Are a craftsperson who takes immense pride in building features that are not only functional but a delight to use.

• Are a developer at heart, driven to create exceptional tools for your peers
