Design and build modern, responsive user interfaces using current JavaScript frameworks (e.g., React, Vue, or similar) and efficient build tools.
Implement design systems and ensure strong usability and accessibility standards.
Backend & Database Development:
Architect, build, and maintain secure and scalable backend systems using modern frameworks or cloud-native solutions (e.g., Node.js, Python, Go, or serverless architectures).
Design and manage relational and/or NoSQL databases, ensuring data integrity and performance.
API & Integrations:
Develop and maintain integrations with third-party APIs (e.g., project management tools, content management systems, or automation services) to centralise and enhance our operational ecosystem.
Automation & Data Workflows:
Build and maintain automation pipelines that streamline data movement, reporting, and task management across internal tools.
DevOps & Deployment:
Manage end-to-end deployment processes, including version control, CI/CD pipelines, and containerised environments (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
Deploy and monitor applications on cloud platforms such as DigitalOcean, AWS, or similar.
Collaboration:
Work closely with creative, operations, and management teams to translate workflow needs into intuitive digital solutions.
Proven commercial experience as a Full-Stack Developer or Software Engineer.
Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and experience with a modern front-end framework (React, Vue, Svelte, etc.).
Proficiency with at least one backend framework (Node.js, Django, FastAPI, etc.) and SQL or NoSQL database systems.
Experience deploying applications to modern cloud environments.
Solid understanding of version control, security best practices, and performance optimisation.
Comfortable working autonomously and managing projects from concept to deployment.
Familiarity with Supabase, Firebase, or similar backend-as-a-service platforms.
Experience integrating APIs (e.g., Notion API, Google Workspace, or other SaaS tools).
Understanding of modern state management libraries and testing frameworks.
Experience designing automation pipelines or dashboards to improve internal workflows.
Interest in emerging technologies, creative tools, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
Work in a creative and collaborative environment bridging film, design, and technology.
