- Design and implement UI components using React and TypeScript, across both SDKs and internal surfaces like our dashboard
- Partner with engineering and product teams to build examples, demos, and documentation that meet developers where they are
- Act as a player/coach internally – setting standards, offering guidance, and reviewing code with an eye towards craft and polish
- Build with empathy: think like a user and a customer, and shape SDKs that are intuitive, secure, and hard to misuse
- Help define frontend best practices and tooling within Turnkey

Nice to Have
