About the role

• Designing and writing performant SQL queries to support data-driven functionality.
• Collaborating with other developers and designers to architect robust front-end and back-end solutions.
• Testing your code with appropriate unit and integration tests.
• Estimating and managing your workload with a focus on quality and efficiency.
• Refactoring and improving existing code to maintain performance and scalability.
• Participating in peer code reviews, offering constructive feedback, and learning from others.
• Supporting operational sessions with technical insight and analysis.
• Staying mindful of performance across both client and server-side code.

• Strong JavaScript skills and experience with modern frameworks (Vue.js, Knockout.js, jQuery).
• Solid working knowledge of SQL, relational databases, and writing efficient queries.
• Good understanding of API integration and data flow between front-end and back-end.
• Familiarity with data visualisation libraries such as D3.js.
