Middle Full-Stack Developer Offline

What you’ll be doing

As a mid-full-stack developer, you will be working cross-functionally to refine the technical roadmap, identify services, prototype, and build the web app that will support the processes of the company. You will be identifying existing services to use or writing up pieces of code where needed and assembling them to reach a functional proof of concept. This prototype will then be further refined via machine learning, deep learning, and human feedback loops. Understanding the nuances of web technologies and IPH’s processes, you’ll help steer the team in making intelligent and pragmatic trade-offs.
