We are looking for a talented Associate Software Engineer to join our team and help build the future of document technology. In this role, you won't just be building UI components; you’ll be working on a sophisticated document SDK used by millions of people daily. This is a "career-defining" opportunity to work with high-performance web technologies (WebAssembly, Web Workers, and TypeScript) under the guidance of veteran engineers. If you are a curious developer who loves digging into the "how" and "why" of web performance and API design, you’ll fit right in.
