About this Job:We are looking to recruit a Senior Magento Developer.
We're a public company so this is the perfect move for any experienced Magento developer looking to make the next step up, work on big name projects, take ownership of the development process and mentor more junior developers.
You will be working to develop and oversee the development of client projects. We're producing websites for big name brands such as Conde Nast international, Nicole Farhi, Fair Trade, Myla, Rush hair, Pineapple Dance, Rodial, O2, GioGoi, Cartridge World and many others. We've only recently switched to Magento so this is a great opportunity to be at the front of the next wave of big names and complex projects.
As well as earning a competitive salary, you'll get to work in our fantastically located Southbank office. You'll get your own laptop, desk, chair and direct number as well as 20 days holiday, reaching 25 days after 5 years. You'll also benefit from other incentives like our rewards scheme where you can earn gadgets, holidays & experiences simply for being the kind of person who goes 'above and beyond'.
