Web Developer
Wakefield | Hybrid (3 Days On-Site)
Permanent | Full-Time
We’re looking for a Mid–Senior Web Developer to join a growing digital team based in Wakefield. This is a hands-on role where you’ll work across both front-end and back-end development, contributing to modern, user-focused web applications used in real-world commercial environments.
You’ll be trusted with meaningful responsibility, involved in technical decisions, and encouraged to shape how things are built.
The Role:
You’ll be part of a collaborative development team, working closely with designers, product owners and stakeholders to deliver high-quality web solutions. This role suits a developer who enjoys problem-solving, writing clean and maintainable code, and seeing their work make a tangible impact. You’ll split your time across front-end and back-end development, with the opportunity to lean into your strengths while continuing to grow your skill set.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Building responsive, high-performance user interfaces using React and modern JavaScript
* Developing and maintaining secure, scalable backend services using PHP and Node.js
* Designing, querying and optimising SQL Server databases
* Collaborating with designers and product owners to improve user journeys and functionality
* Contributing to UI/UX discussions and helping shape intuitive interfaces
* Taking part in code reviews, sprint planning and team stand-ups
* Troubleshooting, improving and refactoring existing applications
* Following best practices for performance, security and maintainability
What We’re Looking For:
* 3–6+ years commercial web development experience
* Strong front-end skills with React, JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3
* Solid back-end experience with PHP and Node.js
* Experience working with SQL Server (schemas, queries, optimisation, stored procedures)
* Good understanding of RESTful APIs and modern development workflows
* Experience using Git in a team environment
* Comfortable working on-site in Wakefield, three days per week
* Strong communication skills and a practical, problem-solving mindset
Nice to Have (Not Essential):
* Interest or experience in UI/UX design
* Knowledge of TypeScript
* Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure or similar)
* Experience with CI/CD pipelines
You don’t need to tick every box, they are more interested in strong fundamentals and a willingness to learn.
What You’ll Get:
* Competitive salary (dependent on experience)
* Hybrid working (3 days on-site, 2 remote)
* Friendly, supportive and collaborative team environment
* Opportunities for training, learning and career progression
* Modern tech stack and meaningful, long-term projects
* A role where your ideas and contributions are genuinely valued
Why Apply?
This is a great opportunity for a developer who wants variety, responsibility and progression without being siloed or micromanaged. You’ll work on real products, with real users, alongside people who care about building things properly.
