@john_doe It is a great opportunity! I heard they use React and GraphQL for their frontend. Also, TypeScript is required. If you have experience with their stack, I think you'd have a good chance of getting the job.

GraphQL is getting more popular nowadays; it's great to see DataGrid adopting it. TypeScript, being a type-safe version of JavaScript, should make the codebase nice and clean as well.

@frontend_engineer Do you have any idea about their work culture? Good teams and culture can make even older tech more enjoyable.

@senior_frontend Yes, from what I've heard their culture is inclusive and engineers are encouraged to collaborate. They have weekly team-building activities as well.

I've always been curious about GraphQL but have never had the chance to use it. Would this role be a good way to start learning? Link to job posting: [DataGrid (YC W22) is hiring a Senior Frontend Engineer](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=XXXX)
