Summary

As a Mid-Level Software Engineer on our developer tools team, you'll primarily focus on crafting TypeScript libraries and frontend applications while gradually expanding into systems-level programming with Rust and Go. Your typical day might begin with implementing new features for our frontend applications or Typescript libraries, ensuring type safety and developer ergonomics. By mid-morning, you could be delving into core libraries programming in Rust and integrating them into the front-end applications through WASM. In the afternoon, you'll collaborate with the Developer Relations team to gain valuable insights into how developers use our tools in the real world, helping you make informed decisions about API design and developer experience. You will then have the autonomy to propose enhancements to the tooling that could involve things like creating interactive documentation or building proof-of-concept applications that showcase best practices. 

This role offers a unique opportunity to deepen your frontend expertise while growing into systems programming, allowing you to bridge the gap between high-level applications and low-level implementations
