We have an exciting opportunity for a Front-End Developer to join our expanding Development Team in either our Witney or Marlow office. The Front-End Developer will be motivated to combine the art of design with the art of programming. Responsibilities will include translation of the UI/UX design wireframes to actual code that will produce the visual elements of the application. You will work with the UI/UX designer and bridge the gap between graphical design and technical implementation, taking an active role on both sides and defining how the application looks as well as how it works.
Ideally you will have helped other companies to implement UI frameworks from scratch, that led to a decoupled delivery pipeline for UI code and a comprehensive suite of automated tests. You can speak from experience about the deisgn of UI that is built from a common set of APIs and how we manage the relationship between front-end and back-end services. If you really wanted to impress us, you will have done this for companies who deliver leading digital services all over the world and understand in detail how the Ui needs to adapt to give great experiences for people in every corner of the globe.
You will be naturally curious and hungry to make your ideas a reality with your great interpersonal skills. After all… there’s no point having a brain the size of a small planet if you don’t share your experiences with the rest of the team! We are a distributed and diverse group across multiple UK locations so there is an emphasis on great communication to ensure we are all pulling in the same direction and helping each other to be successful. You will appreciate the pressure of sprint-based delivery and know that your peers will need you to complete to a deadline and that you will expect the same from them.
