About the team

Evernote's note editor team is looking for a Senior JavaScript Engineer to help us improve our rich text editing experience. By shipping code on our team, your work will be used by millions of people around the world, of all languages and professions.

Our team ships the editor as part of the Evernote app on each major operating system (iOS, Android, Windows, MacOS) and on all major Web browsers.

Our team values autonomy, responsibility, and collaborative ingenuity in order to maximize the impact of each person. Many of our team members are located in Texas (Austin) and California (Redwood City and San Diego) but we also work closely with remote team members in other parts of the U.S. and Chile.
