Front-End Tech Lead

Hi!

The usual job post details are below. I’ll start with who we, the Engineers at Billo, are.

A good bunch of funny, caring and hard working people. We help each other out, even if we’re busy. We take our work seriously but do not shy away from joking around and having fun. We are open to learn, we experiment, break things, then fix them and make them better. We care not only about the software but about the business it powers and the customers that use it. If these values resonate with you – read on and let’s talk!
