Whimsical is an end-to-end SaaS platform for shaping ideas. Our software enables thousands of customers—from individuals to Fortune 500—to think and collaborate in the new era of distributed work.
We’re now looking for Senior Front-end Product Developers to help move that vision forward with primarily in ClojureScript!
At Whimsical you can expect your day-to-day to include:
Our front-end stack is Cljs, Reframe, Reagent, among others.

At Summits we focus on getting to know each other better and building bonds that help us communicate better when we're apart.

Our operating philosophy is based on set of core principles, such as:
