We've recently been announced as one of the fastest growing tech startup's in London - http://www.techcityuk.com/blog/2017/02/future-fift...
YOUR ROLE
We
are looking for senior level front end developers who possess a keen
eye for detail and a passion for getting features into production.
We've
had a big funding round in the middle of last year and our technical
team is growing rapidly (from 4 to 15 people so far). We need to bring
up-to-date our technology to meet the business's ambitions for the next
few years. This includes implementing a React SPA as our customer facing
website (a green-field project).
We are a team of 15 looking to
grow to over 20 immediately. To do this we need dedicated Senior
Frontend Engineers to get work done on time, integrate many new team
members into this rapidly growing team while working with the other
senior developers to ensure that standards stay high and keep getting
higher.
