About the role

  • We're on the hunt for a Senior Full-stack Developer, who is excited by shaping both the front end and back end of our projects - crafting intuitive, engaging user experiences while also engineering the systems, APIs and integrations that make them robust, scalable and secure.
  • From complex web apps to best-in-class marketing sites, you’ll spend much of your time hands-on: writing clean, efficient code and ensuring best practices are championed across everything we deliver.
  • Working alongside our Technical Lead, you’ll support and contribute to architectural decisions, help shape technical approaches and liaise directly with clients to understand project objectives - translating requirements into well-structured and effective technical solutions.
  • Sitting at the intersection of creativity and technology, you’ll take a wide view across infrastructure, engineering and systems - finding smart, innovative ways to build world-class digital products and bring Brave ideas to life.
  • If you’re methodical and collaborative, communicate with clarity, and have a passion for technology and digital storytelling, this is your chance to make an impact - while having fun doing it.
