## About the role

Work arrives at Plane from everywhere else first: Slack threads, GitHub pull requests, the Jira or Linear instance a company is leaving behind, and now from agents acting through OAuth apps that other developers wrote. You will own the Node and TypeScript services that carry all of it, which means the importers that move a company's history without losing a comment, the integrations that keep two systems agreeing about the same issue, and the queues and workers underneath both.
