Job Description
Every other agency on LinkedIn right now: "Due to a number of recent client wins, we are looking for a talented web developer to join our team."
Us: One of our developers is moving on to pastures new. We're gutted — if we could clone them, we would. (For the record, they've said it's the best place they've ever worked and are gutted to leave too. We're still holding out hope they change their mind.)
So, we're looking for someone cut from the same cloth: someone who takes ownership, cares about craft, and wants to build things that actually push the boundaries of what web projects can be.
If you're tired of churning out the same old WordPress template sites and want to work with modern, headless architecture day in day out, read on.

ABOUT PALE BLUE DOT
─────────────────────
A shift in perspective changes everything.
We work at the sweet spot where brand and digital converge — not simply a brand studio or a digital agency, but a fusion of both. Our clients range from local businesses and startups to global industry leaders, household names, and some of the biggest names in sport and entertainment — think Guy Ritchie, Rio Ferdinand, and Gareth Southgate — across sport, tech, food and beverage, and airlines.
We're a Storyblok partner, a Craft CMS partner, an Umbraco partner, and a Shopify partner. We've been on the headless journey for a couple of years and it's where most of our most interesting work lives now.
