Job: Web Developer - London
Who we are…
Codegent is an award-winning digital agency made up of talented, driven web enthusiasts based in South London. We work across a variety of sectors, but if we had to pin it down to specialisms, we do the lion’s share of our work in Youth, Entertainment and Fashion. We work with clients that include Disney, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, BBC, Save the Children, Skechers Shoes, The Southbank Centre & Swarovski.
We are genuinely excited by the web and the opportunities it offers people. Much of the work we do is innovative and challenging as a result and we actively look for people who can really contribute to this culture. A ‘can-do’ attitude and an inquisitive, confident personality are a must for anyone wanting to join our team. We are proud of the work we do and the difference our work makes to our clients. You can find out a little bit more about us here http://www.codegent.com/about/
We are looking to hire…
An intermediate level Developer who has worked in Digital Agencies for top clients and knows the commitment that requires. You will have experience developing creative marketing campaigns for brands in either Python (Django) or ColdFusion (we will consider other language experience if you are an outstanding candidate). You will have a proven record of collaborative working with other developers and have the self confidence to suggest and defend ideas to the internal team. You will not always be working in development teams so you should feel confident in leading development on projects and working with non-technical colleagues to come up with creative solutions. You will be an innovator with a ‘can-do’ attitude but won’t lose sight of the fundamentals of website production in terms of usability and marketing.
As much as you will be an intermediate level server-side programmer you will also put great emphasis on front end with strong skills in CSS, JavaScript and hopefully Flash. Development for you will be as much about joined-up user experience, design integrity and beauty as it is about bug-free technical solutions. You will take real Pride (note the capital P) in what you produce and enjoy collaborating with the Creative Team in the Agency when you need to. You will not look at us weirdly when we say ‘web development is about marketing’.
You will be a details person – cross browser doesn’t mean Safari 4 and Firefox 3 to you. Web Standards and Accessibility will not be ‘out of scope’.
Most importantly, you will want to work in and contribute heavily to a motivated, committed, fun team striving to produce awesome results for clients who we care about.
You will need…
- At least 3 years experience in a Digital Agency working with top brands.
- Intermediate level experience in Python and/or ColdFusion.
- Be comfortable in MVC development methodologies.
- Awareness of Web Standards, Accessibility Standards and cross browser compatibility.
- A proven record in collaborative working both with other developers and the wider project team.
- An innovative, ‘can-do’ attitude.
- Good communication skills – you should be able to present your point of view and back yourself.
- Strong CSS & JavaScript for front end majesty.
- Real design appreciation. You will challenge and collaborate with our Creative Director and Design Team.
- Real attention to detail both front and back end.
- An understanding & ongoing awareness of commercial and marketing goals of projects.
- Experience in the demands of deadline-driven work.
- To be able to show examples of technically challenging and beautifully executed work for brands.
- An understanding of the importance of User Experience & User Interface with examples of where you have implemented this understanding.A real passion for the Web and to be in touch with current technical innovation and advances
- A sense of humour.
We will pay…
Competitive rates based on experience.
