Ava Labs UI team is looking for a Senior JavaScript developer to join us as we build open-source and private SDKs, these SDKs are used for our internal applications as well as consumer-facing.  Ava Labs is an extensible ecosystem platform and our SDKs allow developers at companies of all sizes to integrate their own applications into our ever-growing ecosystem. The UI team is responsible for all things UI related and as such we work as a team to provide the best in class experience to our users as well as our developer community. We are a polyglot team and while we are looking for more JavaScript experience, we also value a generalist mindset and co-learning across domains.

• Assist with integrating these SDKs into our internal applications where needed
• Interact with our customers through Github, responding to issues and reviewing pull requests

• Participate in software design and code review for all libraries that the team creates
• Implement holistic testing strategies to assert we're delivering a good developer experience
• Write documentation for the libraries that we create

• 5+ years working as a full-stack web developer (you've written production front-end code and back-end code (backend a plus, not a requirement), and can empathize with developers in both realms.)
• 5+ years working with JavaScript as your primary language (you have a favorite ES6 feature, and probably an opinion on yarn vs npm) 
• Written a production SDK used 
• Experience with JavaScript/Typescript unit and end-to-end testing

NICE TO HAVE:

• Development experience with Lerna
• Experience with React
• Experience writing JavaScript tests with modern tools like Jest
• Experience interacting with other developers on Github (e.g. opening issues, contributing to issues, filing pull requests)
• Experience working with a product-oriented, agile culture

Salary Range: $136,400.00 - $182,000.00  (**This is not a guarantee of compensation or salary, a final offer amount may vary based on factors including but not limited to experience and geographic location.)
