Front End Developer - £50,000 - £60,000

At Digital 51 we like to partner with purpose driven organisations, but that purpose is not purely limited to humans for us. Purpose can also exist for more than one thing within an organisation.

There is no better example of this than the partnership I would like to tell you about on this page; Different Dog.

Welcome to the world of Different Dog!

Purpose 1. Different Dog is on a mission to improve the quality and life, diet, and more for all dogs.

Purpose 2. Different Dog wants to build a Development team which is constantly learning, evolving, and innovating. This is your chance to learn Node for example in a real world experience.

Right now they are looking to add to their Development team, as the business grows, and embarks on a brilliant Tech journey..

Who are Different Dog? 

A business which was setup with a simple goal; to change dogs lives, providing real food, for real animals. A small business with big ambitions is the perfect description for Different Dog.

How do you come in to this? How does technology come into that?

Different Dog is a subscription based business who are on a mission. That mission?  To evolve and enhanced the technical underpinning of the business in 2022.

This is your chance to join a business which combines purpose, with e-commerce, who are now looking to build a completely new digital offering.

The business now has the foundations of a great 3 person Technology team in place. They are looking for the fourth (maybe you) to join them. A Full Stack Developer who is front leaning, or a front end Developer who would like to learn all things Node.
