• Prior open-source maintainer experience is not required.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the Storybook codebase as a core maintainer
• Design, develop, and refine Storybook APIs that serve our end users, addon authors, and core maintainers (us!)
• Collaborate in the open by triaging issues, reviewing pull requests, supporting contributors, and writing or reviewing RFCs
• Understand how developers use Storybook, and create educational content that helps users get the most value out of features we ship
• Engage with the wider developer community to share our work and ideas, with opportunities to speak at conferences if interested
• Work with other engineering teams at Chromatic to ensure feature continuity between Chromatic and Storybook
