Client-Side: Lead Software Engineer - Walulel

Have you ever lost a day deciding between CSS Grid and Flexbox, or missed a <life event= “because you couldn’t break away from your Fetch API”> ? If so, then it’s time you merged your branch into our master, as we are on the hunt for the nation’s finest Javascript Ninjas to make our story part of their journey.

We are Walulel, the geospatial, geosocial, geocivic company. We build Real Estate related, data-driven, web-first software that enables property to be used more efficiently and more intelligently. We are a merry band of quants, cartographers, coders, urban planners, surveyors, marketers and product makers who work together to make products that shine. No more, no less.

We’re already pretty good, but we know we can get better. If you’re reading this, you probably think the same. If you consider yourself to be a logical and inquisitive individual with a proven ability in building user-centric, dynamic, secure, responsive client interfaces to support highly dynamic back-end systems, then this is your time to shine.
