Description

Looking for someone who will fit the company culture - Takes initiative, Driven, and is capable of working in a fast paced environment working alongside very talented people.

What JavaScript libraries do they need to be familiar with?

-React and redux, having an expertise there is always a plus, we can easily ramp up on react so most important is JavaScript and css/html. Someone who is really active on GitHub or stack overflow and really good and nice to haves because they have a passion. Just updated to React16 to latest and greatest. React is not a complicated language like Angular. Github is really important to the if they have NO react.

What would you like to see them accomplish in 3 months:

-get them up to speed so they are actually providing to the team need the, to have the drive and added value. Need to be a thought leader, cannot be shy, tell us what we should and should not be doing. Very driven. Very high pace. Working with some very talented people on .com team.

Technologies:
JavaScript - vanilla from scratch – this is super important some UI devs rely on pulling form libraries and this is not the case
html/css - make sure to include this on screenings
React/Redux - If no react must have a big presence on GitHub
Unit Testing - Karma, mocha, and jasmine they are using now, chia blended, now they are moving to cypress, if they have enzyme or jest. They are writing all their own unit testing. Need to have a mindset of catching everything in their unit testing so QA does not catch anything.
Build tools - like webpack are a bonus
If they have done animation in react components that is a plus - as they move forward they are doing this more and more
Worked in a large scale application is a plus-their performance is based on code quality, how you approach large scale application?
