As a senior member of a multi-disciplinary team, you’ll guide teams with your understanding of what great front-end implementation means to a project. You’ll help them to deliver top work, using the best technology the industry has to offer, whilst ensuring they perform in the most efficient way possible.

  • An in-depth knowledge of HTML/CSS, JavaScript and JS Frameworks, such as React or Angular
  • Knowledge of tools like webpack, grunt and gulp, as well as a strong understanding of GitFlow and source control
  • Experience with front-end testing frameworks, and the ability to identify good candidates for testing
  • The ability to set in place and maintain a CI/CD solution that fits the needs of the team
  • A keen eye for design and current trends, with good knowledge of OOP and design patterns
  • The ability to write clear, succinct code that defines clear separation of concerns
  • Comfortable as a tech lead on a project – you won’t be phased when needing to present your work to developers or clients
  • Experience with CMS and eCommerce platforms
  • A passion for continuous improvement, with top problem-solving skills
