Someone who isn't afraid to get stuck in and find innovative technical solutions to meet even the most complex of briefs.

An ideal candidate will be a real team player, motivated, professional, and willing to go the extra mile to provide our clients with outstanding work. Our clients aren't all the same, so their requirements differ as well, so we're not looking for someone who is solely an expert in one framework.

 * CMS experience
 * Good MySQL knowledge
 * Fundamental appreciation of UI/UX
 * Good understanding of security concepts
 * Ability to take ownership of a project or issue, but also accept support
 * Excellent problem-solving skills
 * Collaborative & a real team player
 * Deadline-conscious and able to work with the team to deliver projects on time and on budget
 * Experience in a fast-paced digital agency environment
 * System/Network administration
 * An understanding of server configuration
 * Experience with e-commerce websites
