Using version control, including Git, as part of our collaborative development workflow.
Testing your work across different devices, browsers and screen sizes to ensure a consistent user experience.
Identifying and resolving bugs with support from the wider development team.
Following development standards and best practices around performance, accessibility, security and maintainability.
Collaborating with UX, Design, SEO and Project teams to deliver websites that look great, work brilliantly and achieve measurable results for our clients.
Taking part in code reviews, team sessions and technical discussions to continuously develop your skills.
Keeping up to date with web technologies, development techniques and emerging industry trends.
When you join our crew you get a platform to shine, as well as a competitive salary and bonus scheme, 25 days annual leave with the option to buy more, plus public holidays and your birthday off, social activities and office events including our famous monthly breakfast buffets, a range of wellbeing options, a personal development plan, and more.
The Person
Ideally you'll have:
A good working knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
An understanding of version control, ideally using Git.
A good understanding of web architecture and how the different parts of a website work together, including browsers, servers, APIs, databases and content management systems.
An understanding of responsive web development and building experiences that work across different devices and screen sizes.
An appreciation of clean, semantic and maintainable code.
Strong problem-solving skills and an interest in understanding how things work.
Excellent attention to detail and a willingness to test and improve your own work.
The confidence to ask questions, take feedback and learn from more experienced members of the team.
A genuine passion for technology and web development, whether developed through a degree, bootcamp, personal projects, freelance work or self-directed learning.
Good communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary team.
And fantastic if you also have:
Experience using a modern JavaScript framework or library such as React, Vue or similar.
Experience working with a CMS such as Umbraco or WordPress.
Some knowledge of C#, .NET or another back-end development language.
An understanding of REST APIs and working with structured data such as JSON.
Awareness of web accessibility standards and WCAG.
An understanding of website performance, Core Web Vitals or technical SEO.
Experience using package managers, build tools or modern front-end development workflows.
A portfolio, GitHub profile or personal projects that demonstrate your interest in development.
You don't need to tick every box. If you have strong web fundamentals, a passion for development and the ambition to build your career, we want to hear from you.
