Job description

The role: We're looking for a mid-level front-end developer to join our team and take ownership of the user-facing side of our web applications. Your day-to-day will centre on building polished, responsive, accessible interfaces in Vue.js and TypeScript - turning designs into fast, intuitive experiences that users enjoy. While the role skews front-end, our applications are built on a Laravel back end, so you'll need enough PHP ability to work across the boundary: consuming and occasionally extending APIs, understanding the data behind the interface, and making small back-end changes when a feature calls for it. This is a hands-on role suited to someone with a few years of commercial experience who is confident working independently, cares about the details of a good user interface, and writes clean, well-tested code
