Brief Description

We are looking for two highly talented junior JavaScript developers to contribute to our industry leading enterprise cloud product. This exciting opportunity is perfect for enthusiastic and focused self-starters who are keen to learn as part of an established team. This role requires a team player who can effectively communicate, takes pride in their work and has great attention to detail.

You are passionate about software development and have a keen interest to develop in JavaScript. You are self-motivated and a fast learner eager to gain exposure to design, development and test lifecycle.

As a developer in Smart Communications, you will be expected to contribute alongside the team working in an Agile development environment responsible for delivering set objectives.

You understand there’s a big difference between code that just-about-works versus “clean” code that’s well-structured and maintainable – and you want to deliver the latter.

You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills along with excellent communication skills comfortable working both independently and as part of a team.

You want to be the best you can be and embrace the chance to learn and adapt. You almost always get done what you say you will, and if you don’t you take the time to learn from the experience.

We look for the following SMART values in everyone we hire at Smart Communications:

1. Speak Openly - We are positive, creative, helpful, kind and we have fun. We listen and provide constructive feedback. Through meaningful conversations we encourage each other to be the best that we can be. We’re not complainers we’re problem solvers.
2. Make a Difference - We focus on the things that matter and prioritize the things that have the greatest impact. We celebrate success and hold ourselves accountable for our choices. We don’t sit on the sidelines.
3. Agile & Flexible - We are focused on evolving, improving and growing. We think differently and challenge the status quo with open minds. We ask ‘why?’ so that we can help remove complexity. We don’t allow hurdles to get in our way.
4. Results-Focused - We get stuff done by being efficient, working at pace and paying attention to detail. We focus on finding solutions and fixing things. We don’t believe in being busy for the sake of being busy, we focus on productivity.
5. Teamwork - We are stronger and better together. We collaborate, trust and support each other to deliver results for our company and our customers. We don’t want anyone to feel disengaged, we’re in this together!

What’s the deal?

We will provide you with the tools, equipment and support to give you the best possible chance of success and over-achieving your goals. Salary will depend on your experience and will be highly competitive.

In addition to a friendly and fun working environment, we provide a range of other benefits, including extensive health insurance, income protection, life assurance, subsidised gym membership, leisure travel insurance, pension contribution and 25 days’ holiday allowance plus an additional day off for your birthday!

Located in Covent Garden, our offices are comfortable, flexible, and are always stocked with free beverages and fresh fruit.
