Opportunity

The Console team builds the user interfaces and developer tools that make Deepgram’s APIs easy to explore and understand. We’re a full-stack team that cares about high-quality, iterative delivery and thoughtful code design.

  • Develop, test, and deploy web applications using Elm and other frontend technologies.
  • Collaborate with and advise designers, product managers, and other software engineers to create accessible, performant, and responsive features.
  • Break down product and design ideas into logical, well-scoped units of work.
  • Balance building rapid prototypes and quick MVPs with investing in long-term maintainability and performance.
  • Participate in code reviews and architecture discussions, contributing to a culture of clarity, curiosity, and shared ownership.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of experience on a frontend or full-stack software engineering team.
  • Professional experience with Elm or strong background in functional programming with interest in Elm.
  • Expertise in modern frontend technologies and frameworks.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to navigate technical tradeoffs collaboratively.

Nice to Have
