You

Your background will predominantly be in front-end development but you'll have an appreciation of the full technical stack in order to work collaboratively with the wider development team.

You see connections in the products or services you experience day-to-day that others don’t and get huge satisfaction in finding graceful ways of articulating them. Jumping straight into the deep end to help solve real business problems with the support of a great team is an everyday experience.

Whether you are at another agency or client-side, you'll be used to working to tight deadlines and collaboratively within a team.

Skills

You should be able to demonstrate:

• Strong proficiency in React and familiarity with at least one meta framework (e.g., Next.js).
• Expertise in Tailwind CSS and modern CSS methodologies, including pre-compilers.
• Good understanding of vanilla JavaScript and the modern JavaScript ecosystem (Node, Deno, Bun).
• Proficiency with Git and GitHub for version control, including experience with the pull request workflow.
• Experience with JavaScript unit testing (Jest, Mocha, etc.) is a plus.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with designers and other developers.
• Familiarity with design tools such as Figma is advantageous.
• Experience with agile methodologies, including team effort estimation.
• Passion for learning new technologies and sharing knowledge with the team.

Responsibilities

• Develop high-quality, responsive user interfaces using React.
• Collaborate with designers and developers to transform Figma designs into functional web applications.

• Use Git and GitHub for version control, following the pull request workflow for collaborative development.
• Participate in team effort estimations and planning sessions.
