We invite you to visit our blog to learn more about us, our values, and how we work.Your TeamThe Frontend team is responsible for all code that runs in a browser. Be it the web apps of Twist and Todoist, browser extensions, electron apps, or our landing pages.Our main product work happens inside cross-disciplinary teams, that we call squads. You can read more about this in our blog . We have a rotating Hero role whose main responsibility is to tackle support issues, fix bugs, and work on smaller improvements. On top of that everybody on the team gets a day per week to spend on Housekeeping; during this time we pay back technical debt, fix bugs, and in general improve the health of our code base.We believe in picking the most effective tools to do our best work. At the moment this means most of our communication happens asynchronously in Twist. Code and bugs are managed and reviewed in GitHub. Team meetings are done in Zoom.We dont have a lot of scheduled meetings. Once a week the team meets to discuss the previous week and plan the next one. Once a month the whole team comes together for a retrospective to share candid feedback and take a look at the coming month.Your RoleHeres what your work will look like on a day-to-day basis:

• Implement features. From proposal, through specification and implementation, to maintenance. Youre encouraged and expected to propose things that you think can be a good addition to the product.
• Provide feedback. When planning a feature youre expected to provide feedback on expected challenges and unknowns as early as possible.
• Improve code quality. With time, our code accumulated some technical debt, which we pay off. Often we do it while we make features, but we also dedicate time to housekeeping each week.
• Be a responsible & exemplary team member. We do code reviews, refactor code, learn new things, and share our knowledge. You might also be appointed mentor of a newcomer
• Lead a squad. From time to time you might be a squad leader which bears the responsibility for the success of the project. In practical terms, you plan the squad work and orchestrate its execution. You balance this activity with hands-on work within the same squad.
• Be a Hero. During this time youll be working closely with support to triage and fix bugs from users. Also, you help speed up code reviews and support other teams in their projects.
