Front End Developer

Customers who call us usually reach someone who wrote the code they are asking about. Northern Technologies is a 40-person software shop in London. The founders still answer support tickets. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

• Fix accessibility issues and test with VoiceOver and NVDA against WCAG 2.1 AA.
• Review frontend pull requests and keep coding conventions consistent.
• Track down cross-browser bugs in Safari, Chrome, Firefox and mobile browsers.

• Git and a pull request based workflow.
• A good eye for spacing, alignment and small visual details.
• Strong JavaScript and TypeScript, including async code and the DOM.
• Comfortable using browser dev tools to debug network, layout and performance issues.
