Job description

We’re looking for a curious, detail-oriented and solutions-focused Junior Developer to support the day-to-day technical performance of Lucy & Yak’s digital platforms.

Working closely with the Head of Ecommerce and our retained development agency, you’ll play a key role in keeping our site and app running smoothly, helping to deliver a best-in-class user experience, while continuously learning and growing as part of a close-knit, agile team.

You’re excited by problem-solving, passionate about digital innovation, and customer-obsessed, always looking for ways to improve speed, accessibility and on-site experience for the community that powers our brand.

As Junior Developer, you’ll collaborate with teams across Ecommerce, CRO, CRM and Marketing to deliver updates, troubleshoot issues, and implement front-end improvements that bring campaigns and content to life.

This is a brilliant opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a mission-led business with a strong digital roadmap, and to work in a team that believes in creativity, collaboration and always learning.

Responsibilities

• Implement front-end changes and updates across the web store and app to support UX and customer journey improvements.
• Troubleshoot bugs, content issues and site errors, ensuring fixes are delivered quickly and accurately.
• Collaborate with our retained development agency on larger-scale builds, supporting across QA testing, documentation and implementation.
• Work alongside the CRO team to implement A/B tests and support the rollout of UX experiments and enhancements.
• Support the Ecommerce team in delivering campaign pages, product launches and seasonal content updates.
• Liaise with CRM and Digital Marketing teams to ensure technical needs are met for campaign tracking, tagging and third-party integrations.
• Help monitor and maintain site performance, page speed, accessibility and mobile optimisation.
• Keep technical documentation up to date across platform configurations and custom-built features.
• Ensure all development work aligns with Lucy & Yak’s brand standards, accessibility requirements and security best practices.
• Stay across platform updates, ecommerce trends and development best practices, bringing new ideas to the table.

What You’ll Bring

• Some experience working with ecommerce platforms (e.g., Shopify or similar), either in a junior dev, intern or freelance capacity.
• A foundational understanding of front-end development (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and an interest in UI/UX best practices.
• A proactive, problem-solving mindset with strong attention to detail and a love for learning.
• Ability to work collaboratively across multiple teams and manage multiple requests at once.
• A passion for sustainability, community, and creating joyful online experiences.

What You’ll Get

• Hands-on experience in a high performing Ecommerce team.
• The chance to work on unique and exciting projects in a supportive team.
• 4-day working week (Mon–Thurs).
• Vitality healthcare package.
• The best views in Brighton from our sunny office!
