.
  • Identifying interesting new technology-related trends, techniques, tools and methodologies.

What skills we’re looking for

  • Solid JavaScript experience (ES6, Typescript) and experience with any modern framework (eg. React, Svelte or Angular).
  • Strong knowledge of frontend web technologies (HTML5, CSS3) including modern CSS standards and use of preprocessors (eg. Sass, PostCSS).

What you’ll get out of it

You will be working directly with senior members of a very talented technical team, so this is an amazing chance to work with and learn from the best. We’re a small company and a tight team – we work collaboratively, we share load, we have deep specialist experience but often blend roles.

We pay fair London wages, encourage decent amounts of holiday and support remote and flexible working.

– Want to learn: Learning new things is what motivates all of us and is why we love the Web.

– Be proactive: You get out what you put in.

– Show genuine talent:  Make us feel like we’ll never be that good.

– Attention to detail:  We worry, fret and polish till it’s right.
