Job Description
No recruiters please!
An exciting opportunity has arisen in our lively Northamptonshire-based office for a Front End Web Developer. We are an expanding company with a strong desire to deliver quality results (with an accompanying focus on having fun in the office). So if you're a developer with front-end experience and you're curious about a new opportunity, we would love to hear from you.
What We’re Offering:
- £26,000 - £30,000 per annum - Dependant on experience
- Full time, permanent position
- Graduates and non-graduates considered
- Easy access from all Northamptonshire and neighbouring counties
- WordPress experience required
- Full UK Driving License required
- Relaxed, friendly working environment with PS4 + Nintendo Switch
- Team of developers, project manager and QA Specialist
- Free on site parking
- No qualifications required, but experience in web development and developing custom built websites from a front end perspective is essential
Who We Are:
At Zestcode, our specialty is White Label Web Development. This means we code on behalf of our clients, mostly marketing agencies, under their name, allowing them to expand their services into the web development sector.
We are looking for someone who is confident in WordPress to work independently alongside the development director and project manager on web builds. Training and support will be offered where needed and you will be able to expand your knowledge into areas you’re interested in.
As a small but established, expanding and forward thinking agency, you’ll have the opportunity to grow alongside us and help shape the future of Zestcode.
Our office is situated in Raunds, with good access from Wellingborough, Northampton, Kettering, Rushden and neighbouring counties. We are also within walking distance from Asda, Mcdonald's and KFC if you're a foodie! The office working is flexible, with project based members of the team having the option to work hybrid, with a minimum of 1/2 days in the office per week.
What You’ll Be Doing:
You will be responsible for coding custom WordPress themes (built on top of the Understrap theme) to a specific design provided by our design partners. The websites we build are not your typical 'run of the mill' websites.
We recognise the importance of self management, drive and problem solving. Urgent issues / hotfixes can occasionally be pushed through as high priority, and you will need to be prepared to jump on these issues as they arise. Support and working as a team is at the heart of our culture at Zestcode.
To make the cut, you must have a strong understanding of cross-browser compatibility, mobile optimisation, WordPress development and Advanced Custom Fields Pro. The role would suit someone with front-end development experience.
What You’ll Need:
- jQuery
- HTML5
- PHP
- WordPress
- SCSS
- Bootstrap 4 or Bootstrap 5
- Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) Pro Experience
- Good communication skills
- Strong time management
Benefits:
- On-site parking
- Fun working environment
- AstroTurfed "fun zone" with Beanbags and a PS4
- Close proximity to KFC and McDonalds
- Work from home 3 days per week, with the other 2 days in the office
- A welcome complementary 'TGI Fridays' with the whole company on your first day, as per Zestcode tradition
