Can you help with our Code load?

We're looking for an expert Javascript/Ajax Developer with experience using jQuery library.

  • Uxbridge, West London
  • Permanent role

Some internet companies make claims and assertions that suggest their heads are in the clouds, not just their hosting.

Here at Webfusion we don't need to do that - we just concentrate on the facts: we've been helping create the internet since 1997 and now how host more than 1.4 million websites and over 2 million domain names - making us the leading hosting company in the UK.

We have a state-of-the-art eco-friendly UK data centre and nearly 200 employees who are not only experts in their fields but enjoy working for us!

We're proud to say we are very good at what we do, but we always want to be better. We are expanding our global presence and have recently launched in Spain. We have a strong team in the UK that you would become part of, working alongside colleagues in Romania. You'll be helping design, develop and promote our global operation in the UK and Europe.

Like any business, sales and revenue are important, but we also like to lead and pioneer, so our team is full of forward-thinkers and creative/inventive types.

We want people who can work closely with our Marketing, Design and Development teams to produce attractive, functional and user-friendly web sites for our web-hosting brands: 123-reg, Webfusion and Donhost.

A team-player who understands how other sections of the business work, we'll be looking to you to create future-proof dynamic templates and to improve and enhance our coding standards overall.

Day to day tasks include team management and mentoring, designing and building bomb-proof templates, database administration, server-side scripting, creating functional user interfaces, performing site and product updates, supporting the marketing and design teams.

CORE FUNCTIONS

- Working to brand guidelines to design and build functional but eye-catching templates and systems for our customer facing sites
