POSITION SUMMARY:
This position will be a member of our cross-functional development team which is made up of designers, testers, back-end developers, and front-end developers.

Developers at Second Street are fully involved in every part of the process, from planning, to developing, to testing, to launch.

This position, in particular, will have a special focus on making sure we’re using best practices in our front-end development, especially with Ember.js.
