About the role

With a comprehensive understanding of an OOP language, knowledge around Clean Code, SOLID principles, Continuous Integration and Unit Testing you’ll work as part of a team building reusable code in 2 week sprints. Ideally you will also have a good knowledge of JavaScript frameworks.
