Senior Frontend Engineer

The Project

We're looking for a frontend engineer to help build a brand new open source product that helps users of all skill levels use, extend, and visualize their data. We are heavily inspired by Dabble DB.

The current team is two engineers, we're alumni of Creative Commons and have experience working on open source projects and building community. We're aiming for an initial team size of four, including this position and a product designer. We're based out of the nonprofit Center of Complex Interventions and are advised by Joi Ito and Reid Hoffman.

The Position

We haven't started writing code for this project yet and you'll be our first frontend engineer. We expect that you'll have full ownership of the front end, including picking the stack, writing modular, scalable, and well-documented code, and ensuring accessibility, near-instantaneous performance, and a great user experience. You'll also

Removing my name from a document I have painstakingly labored over for three years and over two dozen drafts was not easy. Deciding to move on from an effort I have led for over five years was agonizing.

There wasn’t a single problem or incident I can point to in order to explain such an extreme move. This is a case of death by a thousand cuts, and as the work was winding down, I’ve found myself reflecting more and more on what we actually accomplished. At the end, I reached the conclusion that OAuth 2.0 is a bad
