    • Proficient understanding of cross-browser compatibility issues and ways to work around them
    • Good understanding of server-side CSS pre-processing platforms, such as LESS and SASS
    • Good understanding of code versioning tools, such as Git / Mercurial / SVN etc.
    • Ability to use image authoring tools, such as Photoshop
    • Good understanding of SEO principles and ensuring that application will adhere to them

  • Familiarity with GDS design guidelines
  • Knowledge of integrating HTML templates into a backend CMS

  • Good understanding of advanced JavaScript libraries and frameworks, such as AngularJS, KnockoutJS, BackboneJS, ReactJS, etc.

As part of the team on this fast-paced project we’re ideally looking for somebody who can work from both Bunnyfoot’s and the client’s Sheffield offices.

A firm start date is TBC, but your availability will be required from early November for approximately three months. A mutually agreeable contract will be drawn up for the successful candidate.
