SUMMARY:
Front End Developer required by a rapidly growing technology company based in the North West
POSITION INFO:
Front End Developer required by a rapidly growing technology company based in the North West who have built a really unique SaaS product being used by customers across the world.
Your new role …
You''ll be joining a relatively small team, with a handful of dedicated Designers, Backend Developers, Data Specialists and a couple of Front End Developers.
Ideally, you''ll become the authority on all things Front End, from tools being used to estimating how long a new feature might take to add. As it stands, they don''t have this experience in-house and to add to that, if you are keen to mentor two more junior developers this is a great opportunity to do so.
Working on a complex platform which is being used by customers in a variety of ways means you''ll be doing some really interesting builds, in other words, no template website builds or copy and paste themes in sight.
Any experience on a SaaS platform would be really beneficial, but not a necessity.
Tech Stack …
You''ll be shocked to hear you''ll need experience of HTML and CSS … but on top of that, the team are currently using Vue.js, but if you''ve got any appreciation of a similar library written in TypeScript, they''re happy.
On top of that, they are keen on experience using Git for keeping track of any changes to the code and for Continuous Integration (CI).
On top of that, as a more senior member of the team, being on top of bug tracking, using JIRA and being au fait with Agile development practices would be a big plus.
Your new company …
A bit of an unsung hero in the North West tech scene - or in other words, they don''t pay for loads of awards or for fluff pieces in news articles.
Quietly going about their business, they have built a really unique product which has multiple uses, all of which give their clients a better understanding of customers.
With a strong leadership team, year on year growth and ambitious plans for 2021, this is a great time to join a thriving start-up in the relatively early stages.
You will be given a chance to progress your career fairly rapidly, one of the team we helped them find a few years ago is now at Manager level and as the most senior Front End Developer, you can really shape your own path.
Salary & location …
The salary is pretty flexible for the right person, but that doesn''t help you, so roughly speaking up to around £45k, but the right person might be slightly more junior with lofty aspirations or even slightly more expensive but ticking every box.
Location - well, from home just now. But longer term, you''ll be working in a brand new office space in the heart of Lancaster Town Centre - 3 minute walk from the train station.
However, you''ll be given flexibility around hours and days working from home as they like to treat their employees like grownups.
If you''re sick of the train to Manchester and live in or close to Lancaster, this could be the ideal role for you!
