We are looking for an experienced Front End developer to work on our online design platform. Our technology allows users to design garments that will be knitted on Kniterate’s digital knitting machine.

• Coordinating efforts with other developers to achieve excellent integration
• Implementing an intuitive UX with an eye to design
• Crafting a large, complicated system with high code quality and excellent documentation
• Communicating effectively with a distributed team

You will have the opportunity to make a very significant contribution to a unique and powerful tool, and to grow into new technologies with significant, never-done-before technical challenges.
