Who you are

We want a Web Developer who loves what they do. You are passionate about web standards and keep abreast of new developments in our industry. You always look for opportunities to improve your skills. You like to show off what you are working on and also learn from others. You have strong attention to detail and value the design of a product as much as you value the code. You have strong communication skills and maybe even blog once in a while. You are aware of the latest CSS techniques but also know the limitations that developing for a broad audience can bring - actually, you embrace the challenge.

• You will help maintain existing projects including updating content and adding new pages
• You will manage incoming requests for updates and liaise with or delegate to other people as necessary
• You will ensure the standard of our output remains high and consistent across our whole product portfolio
• You will ensure new pages are published according to specification and in compliance with our web style guide
• You will participate in and contribute to our living style guide, Vanilla Framework.
• Work closely with UX designers and visual designers to implement exemplary user experiences.
