  • Keen to learn more about new languages and frameworks

Typical experience

  • senior: 5+ years in a professional front-end centric web development role
  • mid: 2 - 6 years in a professional front-end centric web development role
  • junior: 1 – 3 years in a professional front-end centric web development role (skilled graduates are invited to apply as well)
