The Opportunity

We are looking to hire an experienced JavaScript/React Developer to join our team.

What you will be doing

You will be responsible for building, maintaining, and guiding the development of Stream’s React SDKs, which integrate with Stream’s core APIs. Your work will be used by thousands of developers, and consumed by billions of their end-users.

You will add new features to the service and find ways to make the existing ones perform orders of magnitude faster. Our customers have millions of users; they use Stream for mission critical features such as showing content and exposing core functionality of their application. Building stable and reliable software is not just an option: as a member of the development team, you will design and write state-of-the-art software, follow best practices, measure everything and be responsible for deployment to production. You will also spend part of your time talking to our customers and help them to use Stream in their app.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to

• Maintain and enhance existing React and JavaScript SDKs
• Work closely with product, design, and customer success teams to deliver a great product and developer experience
• Collaborate with backend teams to ensure feature parity across SDKs
• Assist customers with implementation, respond to GitHub issues, and review open source contributions
• Build demo applications to highlight SDK features
• Assist in the development/maintenance of other SDKs
