£300-350 a day (outside IR35) - Hybrid work environment 2 days a week in our London office

Wonderbly is a unique, award winning startup that designs, sells, prints and ships super high quality personalised books for children and grown-ups. In the past five years we’ve sold over six million books and we want to sell hundreds of millions more so we can make the world a little more curious, kind and courageous.

We’re looking for an experienced React developer to join our engineering team for 3 months. You’ll be working with a dedicated team to make our home, range and product landing pages optimised in time for November, when our Q4 peak starts.

We need a Javascript developer comfortable developing within a content managed React website who can confidently start building and testing right away. This will involve making and testing many small changes that combined will make a meaningful impact. This contract suits someone who is data oriented and loves creating high performing UX. This is an exciting project and key to our plans to make wonderbly.com the most magical book shop in the world.

While we need you to deliver your briefs with minimal support, you will be working alongside a small, diverse team who take pride in our craft and problem solving abilities as well as our inclusive culture. We will support you to get up to speed and answer any questions you may have.

Requirements

A bit about you

• Deep understanding of Javascript, CSS and HTML, with a focus on React
• You emphasise well modularised, maintainable and easy to review code
• Appreciation of nicely designed, high-quality, well tested codebases - and ability to communicate why they’re important
• Think deeply about the right user experience, capturing just the right amount of information at the right time
• Build for scale - both in terms of performance and time
• Deep empathy with colleagues around the whole business

Benefits

First and foremost you should join Wonderbly because of the work. We’re on a mission to inspire boundless self–belief in every child, everywhere through our beautiful personalised books.

• A day rate of £300-350
• The chance to work on something your friends and family will fall in love with
• We have a flexible, hybrid working model that you can tailor to suit what works best for you. Depending on Covid restrictions, we're asking our staff to come into our lovely light filled Central London studio at least two days a week and then to choose what works best for them for the rest of the time
• We love having dogs in the office (well behaved ones anyway)
