About us
The Bigger Boat is an award-winning integrated agency based in the scenic Wheatley Park in Mirfield, close to Huddersfield and Leeds. We're a friendly crew of designers, developers and digital marketers. Our expanding client list includes well-known international brands, as well as regional businesses.
The Role
We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, highly motivated developer to join our team. We’re not a run-of-the-mill WordPress agency, although we do have sites on that platform, this role is a fantastic opportunity for you to learn how to build headless websites.

As a full-stack web developer, you will work on a variety of projects, both large and small, and be responsible for developing, testing, and maintaining various web applications.

Key skills and experience:
Strong coding skills with clean code writing.
Knowledge of HTML, CSS/SASS, JavaScript.
Working knowledge of PHP and MySQL.
Ability to debug front-end and back-end site issues using debugging tools.
Interest in new and emerging technologies and frameworks.
Innovative thinking.
Excellent attention to detail.
Good communication skills, and the ability to work effectively in teams to deliver projects on time.
Not essential skills, but nice to haves:
Experience with WordPress/WooCommerce or other PHP-based frameworks or platforms.
JavaScript frameworks such as Vue JS or React.
Experience with TailwindCSS, Bootstrap, or other CSS frameworks or utilities.
Understanding of Git commands and version control.
