We're creating the future of how companies interact with data, including "data visualization that doesn’t suck".

Responsibilities:
- Design and implement the core front-end architecture and user interface for the Galaxy platform using modern web technologies (e.g., React, Vue, Svelte, TypeScript).
- Develop rich, interactive data visualization components (charts, graphs, tables) using libraries like D3.js, Plotly, or similar.
- Collaborate closely with the founding team to translate product requirements and design mockups into high-quality, performant front-end code.
- Ensure a consistent, responsive, and accessible user experience across different browsers and devices.
- Champion best practices for front-end development, testing, and performance.

Ideal Candidate:
- Proven experience building complex, data-intensive web applications with modern front-end frameworks (React, Vue, Svelte, etc.) and TypeScript.
- Strong expertise in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- Demonstrable experience creating interactive data visualizations using libraries like D3.js, Plotly, Chart.js, etc.
- A keen eye for UI/UX design and a passion for building beautiful, intuitive interfaces.
- Familiarity with developer tools, SQL, and database concepts is a plus.
- Self-starter with the ability to take ownership and drive projects in an early-stage startup environment.
