Starting salary: £30,000 – £45,000 + benefits.

 

Working as part of our delivery team, you will be responsible for implementing features for new and existing projects.

We use Javascript, PHP, C#, and Python amongst other languages so we’re pretty open to whatever skillset you may have already.

Your main responsibilities will include:

  • Supporting the Project Lead to specify work and accurately estimate it
  • Taking ownership of tasks assigned to you and completing them in line with our processes
  • Building responsive, performant, and standards-compliant web pages and components using HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and relevant libraries and framework
  • Selecting the best approaches and technologies for the tasks assigned to you, and contributing to the overall architecture and technical approach of the projects you work on
  • Writing clean, testable, and well-documented back- and front-end code
  • Configuring and maintaining deployment pipelines
  • Occasionally troubleshooting live systems
  • Actively participating in sprint ceremonies including daily standups and fortnightly retrospectives
  • Skills and experience

Ideally, you will have been working in a similar role in an agency or similar environment. You will also have:

  • Experience building bespoke websites (not from themes) with 1 or more modern CMS platforms
  • Experience of implementing accessible, flexible and technically sound responsive CSS layouts from designs and style guides using well-known CSS frameworks
  • Experience of writing back-end code in C#, JavaScript, PHP, or similar languages
  • Experience of working with at least 1 and preferably more databases like MongoDB, Elasticsearch, MySQL, and SQL Server
  • Experience of working collaboratively with a Project Manager and other developers to ensure deadlines are met and unexpected issues are tackled quickly and effectively
  • A professional, completer-finisher mindset that allows you to progress work effectively
  • Great attention to detail
  • The ability to think analytically and break complex problems down into simpler, interconnected steps.

Progression Opportunities

As you develop in the role, you will take a more active role in solution architecture and our overall tech stack choices. If progression is your thing, over the next 2-3 years you will have the opportunity to choose the direction you would like to develop your career in – it could be as a Senior Developer, or as a Project Lead, or as Lead Developer, or something else completely. To help you get there, you will have the support of an experienced Non-Executive Director with extensive agency experience and whatever training is needed.

Working arrangements

Our teams work from the office at least 2 days a week, although you’re welcome to use the office as much as you like. This means you must live within a reasonable distance of our office in Pool, Redruth.

We’re open to full- or part-time candidates, and we’re especially keen to hear from anyone looking to return to work after parental leave or a career break.

Here are some of the benefits our team enjoy:

  • 30 days’ holiday
  • Paid sick leave
  • Paid parental leave
  • Private medical cover with Vitality, rewarding you with discounts and goodies for being active.
  • Access to a huge range of discounts from high-street and online brands
