About The Role
Build product
This role will require you to move fast, prioritize ruthlessly, and be focused on the end user. Your voice will be essential in shaping the product and the roadmap, and your decisions will have immediate and far-reaching impact. You will work in collaboration with the engineering and design teams.

Set up foundational frameworks
You'll join at the genesis of something totally new and come into a fast-paced environment. We value process-driven systems that enable us to work smarter as we scale, and you'll build out design systems that will serve as guide rails for the engineering team.
What You'll Do
- Contribute to the development of the Socket web application end-to-end
- Work with the design team to develop interfaces that abstract away complexities and delivers an elegant and delightful user experience

- Extract and transform data from 3rd party APIs
- Help shape the roadmap and plan sprints that allow us to quickly deliver features and be agile to user feedback
- Be a key part of hiring, including interviewing and providing input into team growth decisions
