Front End JavaScript Engineer

We are looking for a Front-end JavaScript Engineer to build impactful products supporting partners at organizations like NASA to further their goals around Open Science: Making it more transparent, inclusive, accessible, and reproducible. This requires state-of-the-art tooling for scientists to produce and publish algorithm documentation and metadata for their data products. We are actively building a number of tools that allow science teams to collaborate more effectively on documentation for their data products, and ultimately make it easier for the broader public to use them.

• Write documentation and tests with a focus on enabling others to maintain the project after handoff
• Work with stakeholders to understand the needs of end-users
• Solve real problems for organizations that address big global challenges
• Learn and grow with a team that is committed to your success
• Work in the open. We support open source, open data, and open science and take pride in the impact we make. We encourage you to talk about your work through blogging, presentations at conferences, seminars, and workshops
