I am partnering up with one of our long-term clients to aid with the recruitment of a Senior Front End Developer to be based out of their Leeds office. They are a small to medium sized software partner (50-100 employees and counting) who specialise in a range of technology services including Microsoft (SharePoint, Dynamics CRM, .NET), Salesforce and AWS Cloud/Infrastructure.

They have a growing reputation within the tech space and a small but stable list of large customers who are spread across the North East, Yorkshire and East/West Midlands. 2018 is a huge year for them growth-wise and this role represents a highly strategic part of that headcount.

The role will be office-based (usually 2 or 3 days per week) with the remaining days either based at home or on client-site. Due to the consultancy nature of the role, they are looking for somebody with strong communication skills and previous experience working in a staleholder-facing environment.

You should have a proven track record delivering multiple web/UI application deployments and the role will involve getting involved in the blueprint/roadmap for a number of greenfield MVC applications. Moreover, the role will involve some mentoring/coaching of their Junior Developers.

So in essence... its pretty hybrid!

In terms of specific requirements, they are ideally looking for a number of skills. But rather than just regurgitating the JD, I wanted to highlight a few of them below:

JavaScript Development - The core focus of this role will involve working with client-side JavaScript frameworks including Angular/Angular2, React, Express and Backbone. You will be working on greenfield enterprise UI applications and strong JavaScript skills are therefore a must for this.

Web Technologies - A wide range of web-based skills is also crucial to be considered for this position. You will essentially come in as the most senior Front End Developer within their current engineering function so will almost act as an esclatation point for any web-related issues. A diverse technical background (e.g. HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap, AJAX etc.) is therefore a given.

Communication - It goes without saying that, due to the nature of this organisation, communication skills are an absolute necessity. Whilst most of the role will either be office or home based, there will be occasions where you are expected to engage directly with end-customers on site so previous experience managing both technical and non-technical stakeholders is therefore crucial.

Agile Methodologies - Whilst they arent a 'pure Agile' tech house (I mean... who is?), Agile does play an important part in their engineering process and they endeavour to utilise methodologies/processes including Scrum, Kanban, XP, DevOps and Continuous Integration. A wider understanding of multiple methodologies is therefore important when considering submitting an application for this role.

In return, you will benefit from a competitive base salary (between £45,000 - £55,000) as well as flexible working hours, home working (2 or 3 days per week) and their company benefits package.
