The Job
Someone needs to be responsible for making sure that every single user interaction on our app is world-class. That someone will be you.
Sometimes referred to as a "product engineer", we are looking for a software engineer who is passionate about frontend development to join our team at Sourcetable (sourcetable.com), a networked spreadsheet application.

The primary responsibilities for the role include architecting parts of the frontend of Sourcetable’s spreadsheet application, and generally contributing to feature development (hands on keyboard) to create a great experience for users. We are making it easy for people to model using live data from any database, without learning code or SQL. As an early employee you will be responsible for key parts of the engineering stack and directly involved in early engineering and product decisions.
The role requires creative implementation of specifications while working closely with the rest of the engineering team to ensure awesome outcomes. Sourcetable is an environment where developers can write clean, encapsulated and tested code that results in great products.
