First off ->We are not looking for outsourcing companies or recruitment agencies.

Do you want to work with a company that is fun, hard-working and delivers excellence? If the answer is yes, then read further…

We are looking to hire a front-end developer that will work closely with our team at Thunderbite to produce engaging products for our customers. Your skills will be mostly creating the front-end of the applications but knowledge about backend development is a bonus, but not required.

Your job would be to develop engaging promotional games / campaigns for our clients, both existing and new which will be hosted on clients websites or as Facebook apps.

We are a company that builds and provides marketing promotions for clients with a special emphasis on the Gaming industry. The campaigns Thunderbite delivers are bespoke and we are always open to new concepts and innovative ways of working to produce a quality service.

In order to do this well, we are all passionate, highly motivated and extremely proud of what we do and we are looking for another individual that possesses those attributes. We all work in separate locations and even separate countries so logistics isn’t a priority, but you have to be able to work independently though still as a part of a team, your communication skills are therefore one of the keys to success.

We aim to be the best at what we do and need a talented front-end developer that is both eager and determined to produce games within our promotions that are exciting, new and engaging that will surprise, please and bring our whole game range to the next level.
