About the role
We are looking for a junior web developer who is passionate about web development, to join our growing team in Edinburgh. As a junior member of the team, you will probably have a number of side projects, and do a lot of reading about what’s new in web development but you might not have much commercial experience. That’s ok, we’re looking for potential.
As part of the team you will design and build client-facing products to provide visually engaging insights into the pricing, valuation and discovery of financial research. We use modern technologies and the Kanban agile methodology, in a fast paced and highly dynamic environment which will provide a fantastic opportunity to hone your technical skills and learn about investment banking.
In 2021 we rolled out a new client-facing digital dashboard for providing in-depth insights on price benchmarking and released a new Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) supplier comparison site. In 2022 we have ambitious plans to deliver new information to our existing clients and to explore new global markets in other areas of investment research. You will have opportunities to take ownership of these and to see them make a difference to our clients.
Our tech team is based in Edinburgh and our commercial teams are in London and in the US. We are highly collaborative across the organisation and there will be opportunities to work closely with non-technical team members and to interact with our clients. We pride ourselves in providing a supportive and fun work environment with plenty of opportunities to learn new technologies and techniques.
Our tech stack comprises a PHP Laravel backend, Vue.js frontend and cloud-managed MySQL, with Python for ETL and process automation.
Reporting to the CTO, the main responsibilities will be to:
