  • Participate in active, intentional, and thorough code reviews.

  • Participate in growing the development team

    • Requirements
  • 5+ years building production, customer-facing React applications.
  • 7+ years of experience building production, customer-facing frontend applications (using React or any other frontend toolchain).
  • 1 year of TypeScript experience

  • Strong understanding of the browser programming environment (the DOM, data-fetching APIs, storage APIs, sessions, HTTP, caching, etc).
  • Working understanding of public key cryptography (encrypting, signing, etc) and associated user flows
  • Desire to work in a semi-public-facing role as an OSS maintainer
    • Relay's benefits include unlimited and encouraged time off, 100% company-paid medical, dental, & vision for you and your dependents, 2-3x/week company lunches at local restaurants, and for remote employees: up to $2,000 USD home office setup stipend (all benefits are subject to applicable taxes and based on eligibility).
