    TalkJS is a messaging API enabling users to add buyer-seller chat to their online marketplace or platform.
    Our stack is mainly React, TypeScript, Elixir and PostgreSQL. Nearly the whole company is product people, founders are a designer and a programmer. TalkJS touches millions of people and is growing quickly. We want to be the tool that every developer thinks of for building communication features, a bit like what Stripe is for payments. To accomplish this, we give great engineers the maximum amount of freedom to ship fantastic SDKs, APIs and features. This means a healthy work/life balance, no meetings, no red tape and a lot of responsibility. As an API company, our customers are primarily developers and that's an awesome market to build for. Sound good? More info on all positions + how to apply: https://talkjs.com/jobs/ ¹) The Frontend position is new and may not be on our jobs page yet when you read this. Do apply regardless!

    CometChat | Full Stack / Front-End Engineer | Remote | Full / Part-time Contract CometChat (https://cometchat.com) is an in-app communication platform that's fast and easy to use, with a wide range of integration options from widgets and pre-built UI kits to DIY with SDKs and APIs. We just raised a $10m series A and are growing quickly. We've decided to rebuild our developer documentation platform from scratch with Gatsby, TypeScript and Chakra UI, and we're looking for an experienced full-stack or front-end-with-some-back-end-experience engineer to lead the effort. The docs team is young – in fact, it's just me[1] – so you'll be working directly with me as the product owner, PM, and backup architect. Communication is important, so you'll want to be comfortable on camera, but mostly we'll stay in touch asynchronously over Slack. As a fellow engineer, I basically just want to aim you and get out of your way. If you enjoy building cool, useful stuff with minimal interruptions, this is the gig for you. In short: • Lean, greenfield project.
