Our User Experience & Interaction Design team needs a new member.

We’re looking for a Front End Developer.

There will be the usual challenge of building websites and applications using the latest in web technologies, taking the beautiful designs from our creative team, adding clever interactions and working with the back end developers to wire everything up.

For this role we are particularly interested in someone who has fantastic JavaScript skills.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

We’re looking for someone who can help us develop our object-orientated coding, bring knowledge and experience of working with frameworks such as Backbone.js, and to make sure everything we are doing clientside is fast, robust, and intuative.

You’ll also 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)
• Excellent JavaScript skills
• Awareness of accessibility standards and how to adhere to them
• Experience of building sites and applications that work across a range of devices – ideally responsive sites
• 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:

• 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)
• Use of front end frameworks and an understanding of limitations / scope of use of each

We’re offering:

• Salary of £25 to £30k
• Contributory (3%) Pension
• Training
• Social events
• Subsidised gym membership
• The chance to be part of one of the UK’s best web design and development agencies

If you feel you’d be an ideal fit in one the UK’s leading agencies please apply explaining why you’d be perfect for the job. We usually get quite a few applications so be sure to make yours stand out. We want to see your latest CV, but we’d also love a link to your portfolio, and some examples of your work. Let us know your salary expectations too.
