Dog is looking for a talented and enthusiastic Front-End Web Developer to join our technical practice based in Glasgow (Hybrid working with three days a week in the office Tuesday - Thursday).
Candidates for this role must have experience translating designs into accessible, stateful, component-based code that works across all modern browsers and platforms and conforms to established coding standards and conventions. Candidates should have experience working with code versioning systems and a modern web development stack. Ideally, candidates will also have prior experience with pattern libraries and/or design systems, integrating with content management systems (CMS), writing test-driven code, and architecting single-page application applications.
In addition to technical qualifications, we’re looking for someone who ensures the quality and accuracy of their work, demonstrates commitment to getting the job done, collaborates with others, and communicates proactively.
At Dog, you will join a fantastic team of technologists, who create brilliant digital experiences for global brands. Our work portfolio includes CMS-backed websites, bespoke web applications, APIs, static landing pages, JavaScript applications, and more.
You will have the opportunity to participate in the full life cycle of a project, including scoping, estimation, development, launch and support.
As you will be working on multiple projects at one time, we expect you to work independently, learn quickly, and retain domain knowledge.
You will have the opportunity to interact with developers, designers, project managers, and even customers regularly, so a collaborative, client service orientation is required.
