The Role
About you? You see the web as a powerful communication and visualization tool. You have developed in the webspace but are looking to really hone your craft and work in web applications that leverage high-performance 2D and 3D visualization. You are well versed in current web technologies and have a good appreciation for design and aesthetics. You want to learn by doing and you live for steep learning curves.

You will be joining a highly-skilled, highly-productive team of scientists and developers; many of us are both. We are friendly and intelligent, and we are looking forward to working with you. Many of us come from higher education, and we value open collaboration. We work mainly in Python and Javascript, and we make extensive use of Microsoft Azure.
