Are you looking for your next challenge?
Join one of the UKs most established creative digital agencies, with some of the best clients on our roster.
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.
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.
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.
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.
- Someone with an excellent eye for detail.
These are the skills and qualities you'll need:
- Excellent CSS and HTML skills
- Good 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
- Ability to test your work across modern (and some legacy) browsers, and fix any bugs
- 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 Oriented 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
- An interest in digital/physical interaction - technologies such as BLE, NFC, etc.
What's in it for you?
- Great salary
- Contributory (3%) Pension
- Training
- Social events
- Subsidised gym membership
