Web Developer

Job purpose summary

At Brew we are looking for a Web Developer who is self-motivated and passionate about solving problems with code. Our team continually strives to be the best at what they do and enjoy dedicating themselves to producing exceptional work.

Respect and trust for each other are paramount to how we work - if we want to be the best at what we do, we need to be interdependent and supportive in every way. We put a lot of time and effort into creating a great environment in which we can thrive - physically in terms of our office space but also in how we organise ourselves.

We enjoy a flexible attitude to work whereby you don't always have to be in the office 9-5:30, but our office is a lovely place to be with lots of chill-out areas and tea/coffee/beer on an intravenous drip (our name isn't an accident). We are highly committed to developing our people, but we also put emphasis on self-improvement and make time and resources available for our staff to grow
independently.

If you were to join us, we'd want you to help us shape what we are from day one.

Key responsibilities and accountabilities

As a Web Developer, you will work closely with a multidisciplinary team of developers, designers, and project managers, helping with all aspects of the web development life-cycle through planning, design, build and ongoing support.
