Charles has spent the past few years as the big cheese at thrudigital. On any normal day you will catch him with a milky cup of tea (no bubbles on top thank you very much) and at least 30 browser tabs open.

Web Developer for top London Digital Agency

Up to £35k based on experience and skills, plus brand new Mac or PC

thrudigital builds websites, social networks, widgets and social media apps. We take ideas and turn them into reality. Become one of the nerds in our central London office.

You will join our friendly, fun and hard-working team of social media development junkies on a range of projects. We develop websites, social networks, widgets and social media apps for exciting and high-profile clients from entrepreneurs to large organisations such as Sky, ITV and 10 Downing Street.

As a developer, you will be involved in a range of work on a daily basis:

  • Helping to plan out projects and come up with technical solutions collaboratively
  • Ideas and feature development
  • Coding (…obviously)
  • Optimisation
  • Analysis and evaluation of technical solutions
  • Research and blogging
  • Bug fixing and maintenance (wohoo!)
  • Development of your own projects

What you give us:

  • You must be on the cutting edge of web technologies and trends and know the ins and outs of Web 2.0
  • Always learning under pressure, whilst improving your own standards as well as ours…all the time
  • Able to work with demanding clients to figure out solutions to complex problems
  • Able to meet deadlines, manage own time efficiently, and work very quickly
  • OO PHP/MySQL, xHTML/CSS, JavaScript (RoR desirable)
  • Computer Science degree or 2-3 years commercial experience

Just some of the things we love at the moment (if you have experience in these, it’s a bonus):

  • jQuery
  • AJAX
  • Git
  • Capistrano
  • Cake
  • Amazon EC2

We are a friendly team who are proud of each other and our achievements. We don’t work for objectionable clients or on projects that are set to fail. We take it in turns to be the daily DJ and there is usually something interesting going on in the background, but we like to get our heads down when we need to. We often take the afternoon off to down tools and discuss anything as a group that we think is interesting. We work in a fast-paced environment, and you will find that no two days are the same.

Some of our recent exciting work has been for:

  • Church of England
  • ASOS.com
  • Oracle
  • NHS
  • Universal
  • Sky
  • ITV.com
  • 10 Downing Street

To apply for the position, please send us your CV with a covering letter/email explaining why you are interested in joining us to: jobs@thrudigital.com. Links or attachments of previous or current work will help to support your application.

If we shortlist you for a second interview, we will also ask you to complete a couple of tasks. The first task is concerned with dynamic page styling in PHP, while the second requires you to produce a database schema. You can find the tasks here: http://www.thruserver.com/proveyoucanworkforus

You must be a current UK resident to apply.
