Embrace the changing face of consumer engagement.

Have you ever wondered why it’s so easy to tap an app to order a pizza and watch its progress in real-time… but when you communicate with a hospital or government department, it’s old-school?

That’s changing.

Digital transformation is here to stay, even for the biggest service providers.

And Five Faces is at the forefront of this change.

We digitise complex customer journeys for hospitals, government departments and other complex service providers. Our DX5 Framework is the modern, modular, configurable framework that underpins our solutions.

• Modern development tools: Experience with tools such as Babel, Webpack, and NPM, as well as familiarity with front-end build pipelines.
• TypeScript knowledge: Practical experience with TypeScript for robust and scalable code.
• Authentication and security: Familiarity with modern authorisation mechanisms (e.g., OAuth2, JSON Web Tokens).
• Code optimisation: A strong focus on performance benchmarking, optimisation, and writing reusable, maintainable code.
• Version control: Proficiency in Git for versioning and collaboration.
• Problem-solving skills: Ability to understand complex business requirements and translate them into technical solutions.

Nice-to-Haves:

• Knowledge of isomorphic React for universal applications.
• Experience with data structure libraries like Immutable.js.
