A great and growing agency in Cape Town is looking for a skilled Senior Front-End Developer, as focussed on quality as they are.

Minimum education required:
• Building client-side web applications with JavaScript, HTML, CSS and a modern front-end framework (Angular, React, Ember, or others).
• Experience with jQuery.
• Good understanding of asynchronous request handling, partial page updates, and AJAX.
• Proficient understanding of cross-browser compatibility issues and ways to work around them.
• Familiar with web application security risks - and solutions to these.
• Familiar with modern version control tools such as Git.
• Writing unit and functional tests for web applications.
• Ability to suggest time estimates and plan technical work from brief business requirements, without detailed specifications.
BONUS POINTS
• Experience and skills that would-be a plus:
• Experience with latest versions of Angular.
• Experience with CSS pre-processors like SASS or LESS.
• Experience with JavaScript alternatives like CoffeeScript or TypeScript.
• Reading Python code – just enough to have a quick look at the backend API code.
• Basic knowledge of image authoring tools like Photoshop or GIMP, to be able to crop, resize, or perform small adjustments on an image.
• Deploying web applications on Linux servers, AWS or Google Cloud.
• Setting up simple websites with Joomla, WordPress or other similar CMSs.
• Working both independently and leading a small team of developers.
