Front End Web Developer

Front End Web Developer
Newcastle
£35,000 – Depending on Experience

The Organisation:

A leading software organisation requires a Front End Developer with HTML5 experience ad a technical ability to deliver beyond expectation.

The Role:

This is a hands on, client-facing role, offering the opportunity to be involved in full development life cycle to create great-looking, intuitive and technically brilliant solutions in close collaboration with our UX Designers.

• You will be working with highly-capable people in a collaborative environment that encourages helping others by sharing knowledge and experience.
• You must be passionate about doing software engineering right, and ultimately delivering great solutions. You’ll be as comfortable discussing design patterns with Java/.NET developers as you are prototyping something on CodePen.
• You will follow an agile approach with solid development practices, and are a creative and self-motivated problem solver with a demonstrable passion for technology.

The Individual:

You should have:
• Commercial experience developing the complex, interactive Single Page Applications our clients expect;
• Expertise of modern front end web MV* frameworks such as Angular, React or Backbone, in addition to a good knowledge of JavaScript and CSS;
• A relevant university degree;
• The ability to adapt and learn new technologies on the job;
• Enthusiasm and a willingness to get involved, whether working with screen after screen of streaming calculations or interactive data-heavy WebGL visualisations.

It would also be great if you have:
• Exposure to the full software development lifecycle;
• Previous experience in a consultancy;
• Involvement in open source projects;
• Experience of Agile methodologies.
