They will ensure that we deliver scalable and structured codebases that meet the client’s requirements within each and every digital product that we ship.

The winning candidate will be able to:

  • Work with difficult requirements and technical challenges.
  • Adapt, understanding that as an agency we want stable solutions but also an innovative mindset – the right tool/tech for the right job.
  • Help clients by distilling their wants into sensibly sized deliverables.

  • Take on challenges and leverage best-of-breed technologies
  • Raise high development standards, especially for code quality, code reviews, unit testing, continuous integration and deployment.
  • Enjoy taking leadership duties and building teams

**Tech stack

**We, and our clients, have focused and specific digital projects and product briefs – some want us to look after their entire digital estate, and some are just looking to release their first digital product or app.  This means our tech stacks have varied.

Our preferred stack, some of which we are using now, and some we are looking for the winning candidate to help us set up and build upon is:

React on the front-end (React Native for mobile) using TypeScript and on the back-end we’d like to utilise Node.js. Historically we do have some PHP and Go projects. AWS is our cloud provider of choice, and Git is how we version control our code. You should be very experienced with these and know how to keep up to date with what the current best practices are in the industry.

Benefits:

  • 24 days holiday plus an additional 1 day per year of service beyond the second year
  • Flexible working, we run a hybrid team
  • If you would like a change of scene from your regular office and want to work from our other HQ then we will pay for your flight
