• Modern, component-driven frontend architecture

You’ll be responsible for building visually rich sites in Craft CMS (our preferred platform), along with Shopify sites for our e-commerce clients, and occasional bespoke WordPress work.

This role suits someone who loves experimenting, prototyping and pushing what a brand can feel like online.
