Lead teams on complex new projects for exciting brands.
8+ years of industry experience and desire to lead.
We’re looking for an experienced engineer to join our passionate, lean, agile, fast growing, tech-loving and dynamic team on a permanent basis. The projects we are working on are all innovative with amazing frontend design and UX.
You will be a polyglot with extensive experience across a wide range of technologies and projects, and will relish tackling and solving tough problems.
You’ll be comfortable designing and articulating solutions, working closely with clients to ensure we’re delivering the right thing in the right way. Understanding that delivering beautiful, working software, which meets the user’s needs, is paramount. You’ll have the confidence to promote this.
You’ll get your hands dirty in the code on a daily basis to ensure that you remain relevant as a leader.
You’ll be passionate about moving Red Badger forward and be a champion of best practices, patterns, process and tech. You’ll do this by being a mentor, inspiring your peers and educating our clients.
The tech
Our developers have the opportunity to work at the bleeding edge of web development on real world projects, and lean heavily on open source. We also often open source our own projects.
We don't dictate how you work at Red Badger, as a lead you will look after a totally autonomous team and will be entrusted to make the right decisions. You will allow each solution to drive the technology choice, not the other way around. You will be technology agnostic and choose the right tool for the job.
Our favourite tech at the moment includes:
- Git, Github
- ES 2015/16
- React.js, Relay.js, Flux, Universal apps, GraphQL
- node.js
