**TalkJS**\n\nTalkJS lets developers build a perfect chat feature in just a few hours. We power communication in online marketplaces, community sites, trading platforms and so on.\n\nWe're product driven and we care tremendously about quality: We're out to build the tool that every developer worldwide will use to build chat/communication features. TalkJS touches millions of people and is growing quickly. \n\nWe're hiring smart & autonomous people to solve challenging problems. We think you ship your best work when you're happy, well-rested, have a healthy work/life balance, and get full autonomy to make the right calls. More info on [https://talkjs.com/jobs](https://talkjs.com/jobs).\n\n**Senior Fullstack Developer**\n\nWe want TalkJS to be the default tool for developers to build chat features. To accomplish that vision, we need to make TalkJS deliciously customizable and still fantastic out of the box.\n\nWe're looking to extend the team with someone who has broad front- and backend experience. Stack includes React/TypeScript/Elixir but it's OK if you're not experienced with all of those precisely. Our humble goal is to ship a product that's super simple to install, fantastic to use immediately, and infinitely customizable. Simple and customizable seem deeply at odds with each other, but we think we can pull it off. If you're up for the challenge of marrying the two, then this is for you.\n\nWe offer tremendous freedom and responsibility + work in a remarkably decent codebase (for a startup :D). At TalkJS we like to think that we're good at striking a balance between meticulous code and shipping quickly. If that sounds like your kind of environment, then this is for you.\n\n**Our ideal candidate:**\n\n* has broad technical interests\n* likes to design great APIs for other programmers\n* has demonstrable experience writing single-page web applications\n* has demonstrable experience writing backends\n* knows at least 3 programming languages well\n* likes to work together with the team to make our product better across the board\n\nBonus points if you know Elixir.\n\nSalary varies with seniority and is benchmarked to Dutch/Amsterdam norms. \n\nPlease mention the words **CORRECT GAME DEAL** when applying to show you read the job post completely (#RMjE2LjczLjIxNi4xMzc=).
