  • Javascript tooling and deployment (Npm, ESLint, Babel, Prettier)
  • Module Bundlers (esbuild, parcel, vite, webpack)
  • Responsive design and UI frameworks (Material UI) including cross-browser compatibility
  • Accessibility standards (WCAG, WAI-ARIA)
  • CI pipelines (Gitlab CI)
  • Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • UX experience (Wireframing, Storyboarding using tools like Figma, user testing)

A competitive salary of around £40,000 - £55,000 per annum is on offer, depending on your level of experience. Additional benefits include flexible working hours, annual bonuses, private medical insurance, 25 days of holiday plus public holidays, and birthday off.

Due to the nature of the role, eligibility for DV clearance is required. As such, candidates must be British Citizens who have resided in the UK for the past 10 years.
