The Lead Web Developer will lead the development team in architectural discussions and strategies. We also expect you to provide mentorship and coding guidance to ensure a high excellence and quality for each project deliverable. You should always be looking for ways to make the digital delivery team more efficient and effective.
The Lead Web Developer will demonstrate key problem solving skills and identify software patterns that address the contextual requirements. You should always be thinking about incorporating new code into reusable components as to reduce future development efforts.
The Lead Web Developer should demonstrate expertise in the Imagination software development processes including (but not limited to) – coding conventions, version control, project staging and production delivery.
The Lead Web Developer will provide the first round of quality assurance across multiple browsers. This includes ensuring that comps match rendered pages and that the created web code matches the workflow defined in a projects requirements document.
Finally, the Lead Web Developer will communicate technology efforts in the easiest way possible to rest of the Imagination team. Bridging the technology/business gap is paramount for the team and the individuals’ growth. In addition to outward communication, team member to team member assistance and sharing of ideas/knowledge is key to team success and should be reinforced whenever possible.
