What we're looking for
Hacker Noon is looking for a part-time fullstack engineer with opportunity to join the team full time.
In this role you’ll use your extensive knowledge of JavaScript, React, HTML, and CSS to improve the Hacker Noon platform, a custom CMS used and loved daily by millions of people around the world. You'll get to choose what to work on, prototype, iterate, review, and ship features designed to improve the experience of Hacker Noon core people: readers, writers, editors, brands, and admin. You are scrappy, detail-oriented, and empathetic. Maybe you have started your own company. Maybe you worked at a larger corporation and needed more breathing room for creativity and independence. Maybe you dropped out of school (or never went) because you realized you didn't fit the traditional mold. You most likely have read a Hacker Noon story before and liked that it was authored by someone just like you. You're not just willing to go through all the ups and downs of startup life. You are living for it.

- And of course, there's always bugs to fix, based on your personal experience or feedback from the team and the community.
