Your core responsibilities will be helping bring a new product to life by continuing development of our inhouse custom visualiser Onfigr enhancing it with new features and capabilities. You should be confident with data manipulation and understand modern web design principles.
Although your core focus will be building our new product, there will be many opportunities to help out with the many other projects that come through. The work will be constantly evolving and varied, usually requiring a number of unique solutions to be designed for each project. It’s never boring!

What we offer.
* A lot of organisation. CGI and Software Development are complex businesses that require solid processes and systems to ensure standards are kept high and everyone goes home on time. This is something we are really passionate about so we have people dedicated to maintaining the system and lubricating the wheels of production.
* A nice place to work. Our main office is in a converted Mill complex in Huddersfield near the M62, a short drive from Leeds and Manchester, with a gym, deli, and spa on site.
* A good social scene. We are a relaxed and social bunch and enjoy frequent team trips away to build those important bonds. We also know it's also important to have a blowout every now and then and have developed a specialty for throwing a party.
* Down time. Being brilliant at something can really take it out of you, so every year the studio shuts down for 2 weeks over the Christmas period and we all get to come back refreshed.
* Lovely people as colleagues. Our aim is to build a team of like-minded people who want to work on the best CGI and make brilliant configuration tools. If this sounds like you, then we'd love to hear from you.
