As a Senior Front-end Engineer--with a React focus--you'll help us build TinaCMS. A game-changer for content management on the web, you'll be at the heart of its development, evolving the technical architecture as well as building and supporting a healthy open-source community.

If you're an optimistic self-starter who loves finding elegant solutions to hard problems, we want to hear from you!
What You'll Do:
- Contribute to the vision and roadmap of the open-source project
- Architect and build the APIs that power the developers using Tina
- Interface with and support our open-source community
- Contribute to the writing of docs, RFCs, migration guides, blog posts in order to support our community

- You’re a seasoned React developer with knowledge of advanced React patterns
- You’ve worked on building APIs or libraries for other developers and understand the importance of a great DX
- You have excellent communication skills both written and verbal
