THE ROLE
We
are looking for a front end developer who possess a keen eye for detail
and a passion for collaboration and getting features into production.
Someone who wants to learn whilst delivering quality.
You would
be working as a frontend developer within one of our product focussed
teams, working closely with other frontend developers, backend
developers, QA engineers and the team’s product manager to deliver
changes and new functionality. You would be involved in planning new
work and helping the product manager decide what the team should be
working on to achieve the team’s goals.
You would also be working
on frontend technical tasks to improve our frontend architecture,
improve the performance and usability of the site, make use of new
technologies, reduce complexity, write and maintain a growing collection
of open source libraries and make development easier.
YOUR ATTITUDE
You’re
someone who’s smart, organised, motivated and gets things done. You
want to work in a startup environment, because you like the idea of
doing a bit of everything and taking ownership of what you work on. You
have ideas about everything, and you’re not afraid to argue your point
(while respecting everyone else’s of course). You’re constantly thinking
“how can we do this better?”.
THE STACK
We use modern
JavaScript techniques to implement new and innovative solutions to
difficult business problems. We love the power and flexibility React
gives us in producing truly cross platform applications. We transpile
with babel, meaning you can work with all the new JavaScript hotness
whilst supporting older browsers, we type check with flow and build with
webpack. We render our applications on the server so users get the best
possible perceived performance. We scale with ease using AWS, launch
staging environments via our Slack bot and automate JIRA away so you
almost don't notice it’s there.

We're
an open-source first company who understands the value of working
publicly on Github. Our teams are collaborative, product focussed,
cross-functional organisations that are empowered to define their own
work and organise themselves. We work incrementally and dedicate 20% of
our time to refactoring, updating our stack and libraries or
experimenting with new technologies. We like to build fast, scalable,
easily maintainable applications using whichever tools are right for the
job. Most of all, we like to deliver! We believe in manageable chunks
of work with continuous integration and delivery to enable multiple
production releases per day, so that we’re always making progress.
