Now Hiring: Full Stack Developer(s)

Location: County Durham, UK

Type: Full-time (Commute to office required)

Salary: £20,000 – £40,000 (Depending on expertise)

Creator are a small studio located in Castle Eden, County Durham. We build bespoke websites for a plethora of industries spanning the globe; from banking to luxury e-commerce.

We’re looking for a talented web developer to join our small team, working with clients who care about their businesses as much as we do.

• You have a portfolio demonstrating a strong understanding of code fundamentals and an ability to solve problems.
• You should have a strong competence with HTML, CSS & JavaScript (including Vue if possible, but don’t let this put you off applying if not) – anything else is a bonus and goes on to include SASS/SCSS, Node, Gulp, Webpack etc.
• You should have an understanding of State Management, Function Composition, SSR vs Static and all of that good stuff.
• You may have worked with PHP, both in vanilla environments, and as part of templating languages, such as Blade or Twig – Laravel is also a bonus, but not essential. Heck, PHP isn’t essential, we’re looking for someone who’s willing to have a go though.
• Understanding of BEM CSS and pre/post-processors
• Understanding of the WordPress ecosystem (fullstack/headless)
• Basic Understanding of the Shopify ecosystem & Liquid (can be learnt, really quickly)
• Familiarity with working with APIs & data fetching on server v. client
• Familiarity with Linux command line tools
• Confidence working with API’s (SOAP, REST, JSON). You don’t need to be able to write a REST API from the ground up but they should be aware of CORS
• A sprinkling of DevOps to make sure you know what to do if MySQL binlogs decide to grow to 30GB and pull a server down.
• You’re familiar with the eco-system around ‘The Web’ and want to join the debate of CSS in JS.
• You should understand version control and working as part team projects
• You’re eager to continue developing your skills. Knowledge is power!
• You don’t mind being in at the deep end, we’re looking for pro-active, problem-solvers.
• If something isn’t right – it bothers you.

You may not tick all of the boxes above, but you’re a keen, fast learner who wants to progress quickly in a working environment.

• Work directly with clients and staff to define project goals and ensure your solutions reflect what’s found during the discovery process.
• Define the best method in which to solve problems and execute on them.
• Build high-quality websites from wireframes and prototypes for internal and external applications.
• Build backend applications to extend websites functionality, we don’t just create static sites here.
• Build internal products in project down-time.
• Keep up on web trends but not be beholden to them. We build custom web products for clients, we’re not looking for someone to mirror something they saw in a theme marketplace.
• Collaborate with other developers to review and improve your work and the work of others.
• Work to and manage deadlines.
• Learn. Learn. Learn.

In addition to a great work environment, we offer a comprehensive range of benefits. Some of these are:

• Cost-splitting for conferences/courses.
• Super fast development machine (O/S your choice!).
• Yearly Work Away (This year, we’re going to Andalusia for a week)
• Awesome office location, with easy access to the A19 (also a great pub next-door).
• Competitive salary and bonus compensation based on individual performance.

To apply, please email a CV, covering letter and examples of work (ideally a Github profile) to jobs@crtr.co.uk
