“Cares about its employees, goes the extra mile to make everyone feel like part of a real team”
“There's a strong sense of community within the company; KOMODO goes above and beyond to help people feel like they belong where they are.”
As a senior at KOMODO, it’s your responsibility to teach and lead the team, helping developers learn new concepts, assisting designers in understanding what’s possible, and guiding customers to creative solutions. You will think creatively when solving problems and endeavour to challenge the obvious answer, asking yourself the questions “Is this the best version of the solution?” and “Do I need to do this at all?”.
You’ll be:
Excellent at written and verbal communication, both within the team and with our clients.
Able to manage your own time. A self-starter that can use their initiative – micro-management isn’t our style.
Confident in taking charge and leading/mentoring more junior members of the team.
Passionate about tech and willing to proactively stay up to date with the latest developments in your industry.
Confident in understanding and defining a client’s requirements in order to produce accurate project estimates.
Able to give and receive constructive feedback.
Able to embody our key values of understanding, creativity and intelligence.
Send your CV (cover letter optional.)
A 30-minute call to get to know you, with some skill questions thrown in.
A time-bound coding challenge and code review. (All remote.)
One of our core company values is understanding. We believe that in order to produce great work, we have to understand a situation clearly and this includes understanding our team and their diverse range of needs. We always strive to create an open and safe atmosphere and look to empower our employees so that they can express themselves openly – free from judgement or discrimination.
KOMODO invites people from underrepresented backgrounds to apply to all of our roles. We will never discriminate based on age, disability, race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, nationality or genetics.
If you have any accessibility requirements that need to be considered to allow you to submit an application, or if you require a reasonable adjustment should you be invited to interview, please contact Nicola O’Neill at nicola@komododigital.co.uk.
