The Role:
As a Front End Developer at Essence, you will work with a dedicated team to deliver a range of business critical applications that manage hundreds of millions of media spend per annum - supporting some of the world’s biggest online brands. We take developing them seriously!
Some of the things we'd like you to do:
We expect you to be fluent in HTML5 and CSS3. JS proficiency will be very useful, as we work heavily with JS frameworks such as Angular or Backbone. It’s OK if you don’t know these, you have a passion to learn, right? Above all, you’ll create efficient, elegant code, using best practices.
You’ll collaborate closely with UX specialists, have a team of back-end developers to support you, and peers across the agency that create an innovative eco-system. It’s a fun and creative environment to work in - we’re expecting you’ll support the vibe.
We’re keen on best-practices throughout our development process. You’ll be working in agile projects that use test-driven-development. You’ll have a keen eye for refinement – no process is perfect, and we’re always evolving. Experience in these practices is optional, but again you’ll possess a hunger to learn. Specific responsibilities will include:
- Building to specifications
- Resolving bugs
- Providing estimates
- Devising solutions
We understand the importance of continually learning new technologies, and recognise some of the best innovations come from personal projects, so we actively support developers who “have an idea”.
