As our first dedicated front-end developer, you'll be in charge of the web UI. This means bridging our awesome designs and sophisticated backend functionality to produce a simple, beautiful and reliable user experience.
In addition, you will be responsible for the architecture of the front-end code, both existing and new. Prepare to dive in and start a combination of new feature build and continuous optimisation of existing code. Your passion for a great user experience will be called on.
As a modern startup, we aim to have complete test coverage. However, our existing front-end code has been in too much flux due to rapid feature build to justify this. We are now moving into a more stable development phase, so you'll be expected to write tests for all new code, and existing untested code over time.
Because we work with skilled designers, you do not need to be a graphic design expert. However, you will need to be able to work with existing and new HTML and CSS from our designer, and produce some of your own.
