Desirable

• As a Senior NodeJS Engineer, your goal is shipping useful, high quality features quickly
• The more you can own and drive projects, the better
• Establishing prioritized feature scope: Collaborate with the PMs, engineers and leads to determine the biggest product needs to focus on now. This is not a one-way flow, please participate with gusto!
• Collaborating, executing, delivering: This is the core of the building loop. We aim to optimize for both speed and quality, despite it being decidedly non-obvious how to manage that tradeoff exceptionally well
• Reflecting and driving improvements: Advocate for and realize foundational improvements, even while staying busy with feature work
• As a Senior NodeJS engineer, you would contribute significantly to the @inworld/runtime package
• The core of the Runtime is written in C++, so what is the best way to interop with this code?
• Even though the core is written in C++, there are still challenges on the NodeJS side regarding streaming, concurrency, and high-end scale and performance
• Providing a first-class, idiomatic developer experience (typing, API ergonomics, best practices, modern libraries, etc)
