About You:
Portfolio: You have the knowledge and experience to produce well thought out and rationalised solutions. Your work should be able to demonstrate this through 2-3 project examples, your own personal site and/or GitHub profile.
Technical skills & knowledge: You’re proficient in modern web development technologies, with strong skills in HTML, CSS (SCSS), and JavaScript. Experience with frameworks such as Bootstrap, Tailwind, React and/or Next.js is a plus. You are adept at translating Figma designs in to working solutions and a solid understanding of responsive website development (Flexbox/Grid) is essential, along with knowledge of web accessibility best practices. You are curious about how AI can support the development process including testing, documentation and creating efficiencies.
Problem-solving: You relish putting your problem-solving skills into practice and have the confidence to work unaided to find suitable solutions / propose alternatives as needed. You adapt to feedback (from clients, or our production lead) and iteratively improve your work accordingly.
Time management: You are highly organised with an ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, along with a keen sense of prioritisation and time management from both a deadline and client budget perspective. You take a proactive and flexible approach, that can adapt to demanding business needs and have the confidence and ability to work quickly and efficiently to deadlines, without impacting quality or attention to detail.
Team / collaboration: You thrive whether taking ownership of your own projects or working with others. You are confident when taking the lead on a project and capable of making your own decisions whilst also delivering value in a more supporting and collaborative role where necessary. You collaborate smoothly with colleagues across different time zones, making the most of overlap while protecting focused development time.
Communication: Your verbal and written communication skills are excellent, allowing you to clearly articulate your technical approach and solutions to team members, project managers and clients alike.
