Experience that will put you ahead of the curve

• Application monitoring practices, such as metrics, tracing, and logging
• Testing frameworks (Playwright, XUnit, Jest, Enzyme, React Testing Library, Nightwatch)
• Building software with a test-first approach (TDD, BDD)
• Experience with build and deployment pipelines (CI/CD) using Azure DevOps
• Knowledge of modern architecture (Headless APIs, Microservices, Eventing/Messaging, Streams)
• ReactJS (Hooks & Context API)

What's in it for you

The expected salary range for this role is £35,000 - £45,000.

This is a UK-based remote role.

Plus, enjoy additional perks such as:

• Uncapped leave, trusting you to manage your workload and time
