Description

£20k to 28k, Negotiable on Experience - Full-time, Permanent - Immediate start


The Company
Serif is an IT and Web/App Development Company established in 1994 and based in Morley, South Leeds.

We are looking for a WordPress and Front-End Developer to join our small but mighty team. We are a creative agency that designs and creates awesome apps, websites. We have the pleasure of working with some nationally recognised brands and some small local companies. We are also deliberately sector neutral, so the work here can be extremely varied so never a dull moment.


You and the job
You'll be joining our team of 3 developers. We mainly work with WordPress, we love it, and you should too

You will have been building and supporting WordPress for at least 3 years and have a knack for finding bugs and fixing them quickly.

The idea of learning a new system, language or skill set that you've never worked with before, should be an exciting rather than terrifying concept to you.

You will have a particular leaning towards front-end rather than backend development, so you like being able to make things look good.

You will be working with a backend team and a design team so you can concentrate on your front end skills.

Helping to put together a good specification for a project is a skill that would benefit the team. You'll enjoy collaborating with the rest of the team, learning and adapting with them. You'll love to have and describe great ideas about how to take concepts to the next level.
