## Description

This hands-on development role would appeal to an experienced JavaScript Engineer looking to move their career up a notch by taking on team leadership and mentoring responsibilities.

This company has created an industry-leading data platform which abstracts away the complexity of disparate back end data sources to provide a simple and efficient toolkit for building bespoke business applications.

As well as continuing the development of their core product, once up to speed you would take a lead in architectural decisions and provide expertise in design and best industry practices to assist less experienced colleagues.
Your role would include providing occasional consultancy to help customers to tailor the software to their needs, but the work will be almost entirely office-based with minimal travel to clients' sites.
