Description
Full Stack (or Front End if a preference) Developer at Blue BaboonWe are Blue Baboon. We are a young, creative and ambitious agency. We believe that connected people have the power to shape a better future.
Our mission is to make it easier for people to connect with the things, people and places they love. Our aim is to create a better world by helping people achieve their aspirations.
We are able to help people connect to what they love by developing a better understanding of people. Our process starts by discovering the underlying needs and desires that drive behaviour. From here we build out the best solutions and services through user experience, technology and creative thinking.
We love WordPress and are customising it in new and exciting ways. We have a team of on the pulse UX designers and clients that want the next big thing. From social networks to sites like AirBNB – we are producing some really cool stuff. We use Custom Post Types and Advanced Custom Fields to help our clients use the sites we create. We never use themes when building our own custom sites and make sure they are always stripped back to their very core files.
We’re a social bunch: we have daily stand ups to talk about what we are doing, free Friday night drinks and regular social events. There are also poker nights, 5-a-side football and a weekly innovation hour where we talk about big stuff coming up in the industry.
The role (Front End Developer)
You’ll be working with developers, designers and product owners to evolve our clients websites, as well as to develop brand new experiences for new clients. You know what great user experiences look like and love working collaboratively to design and build them. You recognise the value of user testing and how it fits in at different stages of the design and development process.
From devising and coding progressively enhanced technical solutions, through to user and performance testing, you know how to pick the right tools for the job. You take pride in shipping well tested, quality code and enjoy helping other team members do the same.
You’ll be working in an incredible office location just next to Richmond Riverside (which includes many of the pubs we visit on Friday nights), and can be snacking on the fruit we get delivered to the office on a weekly basis. We’ll also provide you with:
- A competitive salary
- Time out to attend relevant, paid for conferences and developer events
- A pension scheme
- We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at Blue Baboon. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
