And more (full list here)
- Design, develop, and maintain high-quality, performant applications across multiple platforms.
- Take ownership of projects - lead initiatives, make confident technology decisions, and share knowledge with the team.
- Collaborate closely with our data scientist, product manager, designers, and marketing professionals to deliver impactful, user-focused solutions.
- Have a real voice in shaping our roadmap - we’re a flexible company that values initiative, innovation, and thoughtful suggestions.
- Thrive in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift, and adaptability is key.
- And, of course, wear a few hats along the way - we’re a growing startup after all!

- 5+ years of commercial experience building modern web applications.
- Strong experience with React and familiarity with meta-frameworks such as Gatsby, Next.js, or Nuxt.
- Proficiency with various UI rendering architectures (SSR, CSR, SSG, ISR, or equivalent) and the ability to apply them appropriately.
- Skilled in writing maintainable, tested code, including component tests, end-to-end tests, and working with CI/CD pipelines.
- Strong UX/UI mindset with experience working with design systems, and building visually consistent interfaces.
- Knowledge of web accessibility standards (WCAG) and the ability to implement inclusive user experiences.
- Experience optimising client-side code for performance, including techniques like code splitting and lazy loading.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly.
- Comfortable taking ownership of projects and making confident technical decisions.
- Comfortable working in person at our Southbank office on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
- Experience working in a startup or high-growth environment is a plus.
