Software Engineer - UI
The Baltimore office is conveniently located in the Federal Hill neighborhood, adjacent to Cross Street Market (which is, sadly, currently being renovated) and only a few blocks from the inner harbor. We are close to many restaurants and stores, and employees in this office receive free, off-street parking. Our office has a large personal reflection room set aside for private use, is very close to the sports stadiums (we plan on taking a day off to watch an Orioles game soon), and its open floor plan helps to support our family-like atmosphere.
Our User Interface is a very modern JavaScript application (Node, React, Redux, etc), interfacing with RESTful APIs that provide the data and perform the analytics. We enjoy investigating new technologies and are not afraid of change.
