We're looking for someone who can write code with the best of them, and who is equally passionate about guiding the broader industry toward a technology they believe in. You bring immediate credibility with technologists and developers at all levels, and you love sharing that passion with others - knowing when and where to make the greatest impact. You don't just want to be part of an industry movement; you want to be out front, leading it. If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
