Middleweight Interaction Designer / Front End Developer

Full-time Sequence in Cardiff

We need another passionate and talented front end developer to join our User Experience & Interaction Design team.

In this role you’ll be breathing life into beautiful Photoshop mock-ups using the latest techniques to supplement and enhance the work of our visual designers who are just as passionate and talented as you are.

But this role is more than just building sites. You’ll also be working with our UX strategists to build rapid clickable prototypes and wireframes, basing interaction decisions on user research and helping take on some of the UX-specific tasks required in our projects.

You’ll be making changes to existing sites to fix critical bugs, or enhance the user experience with better interactions. There’ll be a lot of cross-discipline working, so you’ll need to be comfortable working with our back-end developers as well as the creative types.

——————————————————————————————————————-

This is you:

We’re looking for someone who’s driven to create beautiful, clever things for the web. We want people who care, who take pride in their work and who will help us push Sequence forwards creatively, technically and culturally. We’d prefer someone with a good few years worth of agency experience, but it’s not a deal breaker as long as you’ve honed your skills in all aspects of front end development, and you’ve got the right attitude.

You’ll be:

Self motivating, and eager to ask for more work if you run out
Keen to develop your skills and self improve (R&D and experimenting is good)
Good at working to set deadlines, and able to keep accurate track of your time
Great at communicating with a range of teams and staff members (you’ve got to be a fluent English speaker)
Able to accurately estimate how long work will take, and amend scope of work to fit into changing timescales / budgets.

These are the skills and qualities you’ll need:

Excellent CSS and HTML skills (including HTML5, CSS3)
Ability to work comfortably with JavaScript and related libraries (jQuery, etc.)
Awareness of accessibility standards and how to adhere to them
Experience of building sites and applications that work across a range of devices
Ability to test your work across modern (and some legacy) browsers, and fix any bugs
Great Photoshop skills so you can work with it quickly and efficiently
Experience in implementing and working with UX strategies
Skills in rapid prototyping

Experience working with any/all of these would be a great bonus too:

Excellent JavaScript skills
Building responsive websites
Object Orientated CSS
.NET code (you don’t need to know how to code, just the basics of how it works)
Preprocessors (SASS, Coffeescript, HAML etc.)
Source control and version control systems
CMS driven sites
Microsoft Visual Studio
Experience with Axure wireframing (and equivalents)
Holistic UX design skills (user journeys, user testing etc)
Use of front end frameworks and an understanding of limitations / scope of use of each

  • Training
  • Social events
