Our team thrives at the intersection of creativity and code, curious minds, adaptive thinkers, and kick‑ass doers who turn ideas into impact. We partner with some of the world’s most exciting brands in automotive, technology, and finance, pushing boundaries with every brief and proving that creativity and technology are better together.
The Role
We’re looking for a Head of Development to lead our growing development team and help shape the technical heart of Beep. Working closely with our CTO and CCO, you’ll ensure our code, platforms, and processes are robust, scalable, and future‑ready.
This is a hands‑on leadership role for someone who loves coding as much as they love mentoring others. You’ll oversee project delivery across our stack, champion best practices, and collaborate with design and strategy teams to bring bold, creative ideas to life.
The ideal candidate is calm under pressure, strong on communication, and thrives on crafting high‑performing websites and experiences for global brands.

* Translate creative concepts into technical solutions using modern frameworks and workflows.
* Define, document, and evolve internal coding standards, QA processes, and deployment pipelines.
* Support cross‑functional collaboration with design, UX, and strategy teams to deliver seamless digital experiences.
* Manage code reviews, sprint planning, and task prioritisation to keep projects on time and budget.
* Guide technical discovery, estimation, and architectural decisions for new client projects.
* Oversee API integrations and third‑party services to extend functionality and performance.
* Research emerging technologies and identify opportunities to improve efficiency and innovation.
Skills & Experience
* 6+ years of commercial experience in web development, with at least 2 years in a leadership or team lead role.
* Strong understanding of full‑stack development, infrastructure, and version control (GIT).
* Frameworks such as React, Laravel, Go and WordPress.
* Experience with Bootstrap, Tailwind, or custom frameworks.
* Solid grasp of PHP, MySQL, and API implementation.
* An understanding of animated and 3D interactive page elements.
* Confident working with tools such as Jira, Slack, Figma/XD, and Webflow.
* Familiarity with CI/CD workflows, QA processes, and cross‑environment deployment.
* Strong problem‑solving skills with the ability to balance technical detail and creative vision.
* Comfortable working in a Mac or PC environment using Google Workspace and Office 365.
* Excellent communication skills, with a collaborative mindset and a passion for mentoring others.
Other Superpowers
* You’re human‑first: empathetic, collaborative, and supportive.
* You’re adaptive: always evolving your craft and helping others grow.
* You’re curious: love experimenting with new tools, frameworks, and ideas.
* You’re kick‑ass: lead by example and deliver work that’s as polished as it is powerful.
Nerds with Benefits
* Be in control of your working hours with Flexi‑Friday™.
* 28 days holiday plus studio closure at Christmas.
* Pension plan, sick pay, and strong remuneration package.
* Kit: MacBook Pro, magic mouse and keyboard.
* Pizza, coffee, and other goodies on the house.
