    The Role

    We’re looking for a skilled, solutions-focused Mid-Level Developer to join the Strafe Creative team. You’ll build and maintain high-quality websites and apps, contribute to technical discovery sessions, and help guide junior developers as they grow. With support from senior teammates, you’ll lead on project builds, explore new technologies, and play an active role in shaping exceptional digital solutions for our clients.

     

    What you’ll be doing

    • Writing efficient, maintainable code across our core programming languages.
    • Handling bug fixes, security updates, and smooth delivery for client sites.
    • Collaborating in discovery sessions to define project tech requirements and integrations.
    • Owning build stages from requirements through QA to launch, keeping documentation clear and up to date.
    • Conducting code reviews and being happy to receive constructive feedback.
    • Completing QA checklists and catching issues before they go live.
    • Reviewing designs with an eye on scope, budget, and technical feasibility.
    • Keeping projects moving: managing deadlines, flagging risks, and tracking progress in Monday.com.
    • Estimating development tasks accurately and updating PMs on progress.
    • Presenting technical solutions to clients in a clear, approachable way.
    • Sharing new tools, frameworks, and ideas with the team—and experimenting to find smarter ways of working.
    • Mentoring juniors, encouraging good practices, and supporting a culture of collaboration.

     

    What we’re looking for

    • Proficiency in key programming languages used at Strafe (we’ll get you up to speed on any gaps).
    • Confident with Git or other version control systems.
    • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to communicate technical decisions clearly.
    • Organised, proactive and comfortable juggling multiple projects.
    • A collaborative mindset: you enjoy helping others while continuing to grow yourself.

    Experience we’d love to see:

    Nice-to-haves:

    Strafe has a friendly, supportive culture where I’ve always felt genuinely cared for, both professionally and personally. The flexibility, positive team spirit, and opportunities to learn and grow make it a great place to work.
