They use libraries like jQuery, Require, and Backbone and have recently begun a migration to React. It is architected around the HTML5 Canvas element. They're not language zealots.

• As a technical leader, answering any questions that come up while also leading solutions discussions, making decisions when needed and being the example for writing clean, maintainable code.
• Providing architectural guidance to your teammates and pushing them towards better development decisions, working with them to improve their architectural judgement.
• Define and maintain an efficient and clear team process and uphold your team to our engineering standards and core values.
• Participate in leading the response for service disruptions and hotfix releases.
