The Role

About you
You're friendly, collaborative, pragmatic and you love technology. 

Your goal is to make the customer happy by delivering the right product,  not too much,  not too little. 

You care about quality: not just in the end product, but also in delivering code that other developers can maintain. Whilst you’re self-sufficient in the areas you know, you also aren’t afraid to ask for help when you need it.
Your skills
  • HTML5, CSS3, Javascript/Typescript
  • ReactJS: Our stack is primarily ReactJS. Strong experience with any one of component based frameworks React/Vue/Angular/Svelte is required.
  • Refactoring skills: you know how to improve code that is out-of-date and not well maintained when necessary.
  • Clean coding and documentation: you write code that is easy for others to understand first and foremost, only adding comments and documentation when truly necessary. You avoid writing clever or elegant code at the expense of readability.
  • Excellent browser debugging and troubleshooting skills - primarily on desktop browsers, but this may expand to mobile devices should our business requirements change.
  • Quality first: knowing your way around a test framework and how to write testable code is central to your practice
  • Security ingrained:You know your CAPTCHAs from your SQL injection from your brute force attacks, and how to specify and develop to mitigate them.
  • English: not only did you understand this advert, but you could write it too - and more importantly, you can debate your technical solutions with developers and business people around the world.

Desirable skills
  • Experience with AngularJS 1.0 (We are in the process of migrating to ReactJS)
  • Experience with TailwindCSS
  • Experience with D3JS or similar charting libraries.
  • Experience with SVG
  • Graphic / design / UX skills
