  • Improve, extend and refactor existing components in line with design,  development and accessibility best practices
  • Improve the documentation and organisation of the design system
  • Review the code of your colleagues
  • Help the team automate and scale by writing automation scripts and tools
Competencies required:
You will have:

  • A good understanding of web components - how to build them, their advantages, limitations and disadvantages
  • Experience building or improving project toolchains 
  • Vanilla JS knowledge
  • Understanding of accessibility best practices and how to apply them
  • Knowledge of GIT or equivalent
  • Experience participating in and contributing to code review

  • Experience working within an agile development environment
  • French language skills - the main office is located in Paris and most employees are French speakers
    • Formal educational qualifications in computer science are viewed favourably, but not essential. More important is your proven capacity to solve problems and deliver excellent code.
