Web Developer at Babylonstoren

Job description

We’re looking for a web developer to join our growing e-commerce team at Babylonstoren.

This is a Junior position, so we don’t expect you to have all the skills. Ideally, you will have at least a year or two of experience and some form of tertiary education.

Technical Requirements

• Knowledge of web development frameworks such as Laravel or Symfony
• Experience and understanding of scripting and markup languages such as HTML, HTML5, CSS, Javascript, PHP
• Must have the ability to write clean code and be able to work from existing code and frameworks
• Must reliably implement code edits and identify and fix errors
• Solid understanding of web design, navigation, usability best practices, and SEO best practices
• Create HTML templates, emails, and other interactive online marketing/advertising requirements
• Fluent in both Afrikaans and English

What we expect from you

• You are honest and diligent
• You have a strong urge to create and build things
• You’re curious and keep up to date with the latest frameworks and tools
• You recognise code as a craft
• You take pride in your work and get things done (not 98% done)
• You’ve got loads of grit and you’re eager to learn
• You are a proactive problem solver
• You are a team player, that works well independently
• Genuine interest in web development in an ecommerce environment
• Self-starter, independent worker, and willingness to learn
• You learn fast!

What you can expect

• We’re a young, ambitious team. Our mission is to expand our current e-commerce solution into a world-class system that will enable us to provide our customers with a delightful experience, regardless of their location.
• This will be a really great opportunity for you to grow and evolve with the team, both technically and strategically.
• Interview process
• We will get in touch via email / telephonically to setup an interview with the e-commerce manager and at least one of our developers.
• If that goes well we do both a development exercise and a psychometric test.
• The primary purpose of the development exercise is to review your coding style and the psychometric test will really help us to determine whether or not you’ll be a good fit in the long term.
