The opportunity ✨

Waitwhile works to eliminate the 1 trillion hours that people spend waiting in lines every year. Our platform is trusted by over 10,000 companies worldwide and has helped more than 150 million people enjoy a radically better waiting experience.

We are looking for a Web Developer to join our mission to eliminate waiting. Joining a small-but-growing team, you'll play a large role and have an impact on how we build an even more amazing product. You'll work collaboratively with our CTO, Head of Design and other members of the Waitwhile team to build incredible experiences.

As a Web Developer you would work on projects like:

• Improve our homepage (waitwhile.com) in collaboration with our UX team
  
• Build new features and improve the user experiences in our core web app (app.waitwhile.com)
• Implement web widgets to make it easier for our customers to embed Waitwhile on their websites
• Build marketplace apps and integrations for Waitwhile at places like Square, Intercom and WIX
  
• Create new web apps for Waitwhile from the ground up for different audiences and experiences

We build our apps using Typescript/Javascript, React Native, Angular, Firebase and Firestore on Google Cloud Platform. Expertise in these areas is a huge plus but experience of a major frontend web framework is our main criteria.
