What We Need:
We are looking for expert JavaScript software developers to do the following:
  • Build code repos

  • Provide clean, production-style reference solutions and test cases.
Requirements:
  • Strong programming experience in one or more modern languages (JavaScript, Python, Java, C++, etc.).
  • Hands-on experience with real-world software development (not just competitive programming).
