Job description

Overview

We're looking for a Web & Platform Developer who enjoys variety, problem-solving and collaboration. This is an agency-side role. You'll work across multiple projects at different stages - from new builds driven by strategy and wireframes, through to ongoing optimisation, troubleshooting and improvements. If you enjoy building things properly and sticking around to make sure they keep working, you'll fit right in.

Responsibilities

• Building custom websites and platforms based on clear strategies, wireframes and content plans
• Working closely with design, marketing and strategy teams to turn ideas into working solutions
• Managing and maintaining live websites - fixing issues as they arise rather than parking them
• Supporting server environments and hosting setups (performance, security, uptime)
• Troubleshooting technical issues across multiple projects in real time
• Improving speed, stability and scalability across client platforms
• Showing confidence in talking to clients and partners
• HTML5 / CSS
• JavaScript
• PHP
• SQL
• WordPress (custom themes, plugins, CMS configuration)
• General server and hosting knowledge (AWS a big thumbs up)

Nice to have (not essential)

• Git (Bitbucket or similar)
• Frameworks (e.g. Laravel, Vue.js)
• SASS
• Composer
• Node / NPM
• REST APIs

Bonus points if you have experience with

• Linux server environments (Ubuntu, NGINX)
• AWS or similar cloud platforms
• Performance optimisation and security best practices
• Agile or sprint-based working
• An understanding of digital marketing fundamentals

How you work

• You're comfortable switching context between projects
• You enjoy solving problems, not just building and moving on
• You can explain technical decisions clearly to non-technical teammates
• You're collaborative, proactive and pragmatic
• If you don't know something, you're happy to go and learn it
