In this role you'll be working remotely and choosing your own hours, but within that flexibility you'll be expected to deliver features and improvements in an efficient, timely manner.

• We'll provide you with all the equipment you need for your work, including a 16" Macbook Pro.

• You'll get 20 days holiday, as well as your birthday, off each year (birthdays are for cake, and cake only).
• We'll keep your personal progression a priority with fortnightly one on ones and 6-monthly performance reviews.

Primary responsibilities

• Efficient delivery of high quality features and improvements to our clients web applications.
• Collaborating effectively with your coworkers to come to the best solution for given constraints.

• Driving the technical quality of our work, and knowledge around complex data capture forward.

You will need

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• An excellent understanding of modern HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
• A good high level understanding how web browsers work (HTTP, the DOM, etc.).
• A good understanding of how to use your browser's development tools.
• A good understanding of issues related to user experience, performance, accessibility, progressive enhancement, and cross-browser compatibility.
• A willingness to learn new technologies and programming languages.

Bonus points if…

• You have some experience with React.
• You're happy enough figuring things out in your terminal.
• You're not afraid to voice your opinion.
• You have experience working in a client-focussed business.
• You have experience with another programming language.
