Are you the great front-end developer we’re looking for?
To succeed in this role you should have a solid software engineering background in front-end web development. In particular, you have extensive experience with frameworks such as ReactJS, Angular, Vue etc. As a leader, you also need knowledge of stylesheets such as CSS / SASS / LESS.
Implementing a proposed web design comes naturally to you, and you have a sharp eye for general UX improvements. It is essential that you always think in terms of finding universal scalability and you go the extra mile for fully scalable web designs. Above all, you love working in SCRUM / Kanban Agile continuous development environment.

All of this demands highly evolved critical thinking and problem-solving skills, along with the ability to quickly master new techniques. Deadlines are often tight so you must have the flexibility to respond effectively under pressure to last-minute changes and priorities. You also need excellent communication and collaboration skills as you influence, negotiate and present information to engage others in our quest for framework simplicity and efficient future maintenance. The more technical requirements are:
- A degree in Computer Science or similar and proven work experience of implementing fully scalable web designs;
- Proven work experience with today’s leading web frameworks such as ReactJS, Angular, AngularJS and/or Vue;
