Job Description
Full job description
We’re looking for a Front-End Web Developer to join our team. This role is suited to a middle-weight or senior.
Working as part of our development team you’ll be focusing on projects that make a real difference to our clients. We like to push boundaries and create websites that are truly impressive, whilst also delivering results.
This is a full-time position typically with a mixture of in-studio and working-from-home - but we're happy to discuss fully remote too. Salary is always dependant on experience, however, we're looking around £30k - £40k pa.
About this role
This role will be ideal for someone who wants to do more than just make someone else’s vision a reality. You’ll be working closely with the whole team to help take ideas from concept through to go-live. Collaboration is a big part of who we are, so you won’t just get thrown some visuals to build, you’ll be an important part of the whole process!
As a small team, everyone counts – so you’ll be able to make a real impact.
Our web projects are strategy-first, so we don’t just dive in and create something pretty. We are UX-focused which means our sites go through a rigorous planning stage before we create a thing! This means you’ll be helping to create sites that work and have real purpose. And whilst we love WordPress, all our sites are built from scratch – you won’t find any off-the-shelf themes here!
Who we’re looking for…
You’ll know how to build beautiful, cross-compatible, accessible, responsive WordPress websites – experience building bespoke themes from scratch is a must, as is a strong portfolio.
Your bag of tricks will include:
Strong knowledge of HTML5 and CSS3 (inc. SASS)
A solid understanding of jQuery
A passion for UX, performance and accessibility
Good knowledge of PHP
Experience working with Git Repositories
Experience working with the WordPress platform in a bespoke manner
Be a strong team player that is able to work closely with others
Added bonuses:
These are absolutely not essential, but it would be beneficial to know if you have experience with:
Building plugins
API integrations
Your experience:
We’re looking for a middle-weight or senior developer with:
Plenty of examples of previous work that demonstrate your skills
3-5+ years of experience as a developer
A strong understanding of what it means to be part of a team
The ability to adapt your skills and decision making to meet deadlines
A dedication to your craft and an excitement to work with a growing team
A mastery of HTML, CSS and jQuery
Why work with us?
Our team and clients are at the heart of everything we do, and any successful candidate will meet the team as part of the recruitment process. Good culture fit is really important to our team, and we find we're a great fit for people that love what they do but want a positive environment to do it in!
Our portfolio is really strong - take a look to see the kinds of projects we have that will push your abilities as a Front-End Web Dev.
As well as being passionate about creating a stress-free, nurturing environment, there are a whole bunch of other reason to want a role in the Epix team:
Hybrid working - We’re a hybrid business, working an optional Monday and Tuesday at home, and then meeting in the studio Wednesday to Friday. Getting a fridge delivered on a Thursday? No problem - you can take a number of extra work-from-home days for unexpected life admin.
Wellbeing – Our wellbeing policy means the team can work from home on studio days if they feel well enough to work, or too poorly to come in.
We also believe that life and work should be in balance - so whilst we don't have a formal flexible working policy, we work with you to make time for life.
At Epix if something takes longer than expected, or doesn’t go to plan, we work out why, which means that overtime is very rare.
Extra holiday – we have a number of schemes for extra holiday including long-service rewards.
Bonus scheme – We have a 6 monthly profit-based bonus scheme, designed to empower the team to succeed and reward them for their hard work.
Career progression & training - Each team member sits with a Company Director every three months to review goals and progress, with a longer review every twelve months. We also have a conference and events budget.
We also regularly review processes and best practices as a team.
Social events budget - The team control a Social Budget. So far we’ve petted baby chicks, bounced on trampolines, and danced to ABBA – and that was just one event. We'll go to the arcade, do a murder mystery or just have some dinner and drinks too.
Hippocampus - Each Friday morning at 0900 we have a 30-minute session to invest in our creativity or wellbeing. Try a new craft, practice a technique, or just walk in the morning air – whatever you choose.
There's more - we also have:
Mac or PC – your choice
Informal flexibility
In the studio:
Onsite parking & café
Breakout spaces
Sit/stand desks
Some comments from the team:
"Honestly, not a single bad egg in the team"
"The best social events of any agency I've worked at"
"I’ve seen significant growth in my technical and professional ability."
"The best place I've worked"
