ABOUT THE ROLES AS SENIOR FRONT-END AND A FULLSTACK DEVELOPER
We created everviz because we saw that enriching stories with visualizations was unnecessarily hard and expensive for storytellers without a coding background. As a key member of the everviz team, you will have the unique opportunity to design and deliver great products that help Journalists and Content Creators across the globe to tell complex stories in a simple way using data visualizations. The core of our products and our team is spun from Highcharts, one of the world’s most widely used development frameworks for online data visualization.
We strongly believe that telling stories with beautiful interactive visualizations makes the message easier to understand and act upon. Our mission is to give everyone the power to communicate data through engaging visual content. We also believe that everyone should be able to access such information, and we have therefore set the highest standard when it comes to accessibility in this market.
