- Strong expertise with modern front-end tooling (React, Type Script, build systems, CI/CD)
- Deep experience optimizing complex UX interactions, especially in editors, canvases, visual builders, or multimedia tools
- Ability to design scalable UI architectures and manage large, dynamic client-side state
- Passion for creating fast, intuitive, and beautiful creative interfaces
- Startup mindset: thrive in fast-moving environments, take ownership, solve ambiguous problems at scale
Nice-to-Have
Qualifications:
- Experience with video editors, creative canvas, animation/keyframe systems, design tools, node-graph editors, or similar
- Love films and art
- Open-source contributions and personal coding projects outside regular work
