The Role
This role is a central leadership position on the R&D team that is laying out a key element of the Reframe collaboration environment by spearheading the design and development of our data synchronization and application integration functionality. You will be responsible for defining the API, designing the protocol and coding the implementation.
Your work will be helping break the dichotomy between web apps and native apps. Ultimately, this key part of Reframe will enable a whole new form of application development and what developers think of when we say “write one, run anywhere”.
