A note for recruitment agencies:

We have exclusive relationships with our preferred recruiters and would rather not receive unsolicited emails or phone calls.

Junior Developer

We’re looking for a junior developer with an incredible level of attention to detail and a passion for coding digital interfaces, to come and work in our close-knit team of digital Pirates. The role will be focused on front-end skills: HTML, CSS and JavaScript, though it’s what you can do with those skills that really counts.

We’re looking here for rising stars with 1-3 years of industry experience but who punch above their weight. Applicants: Your challenge is to dazzle us with your skills by demonstrating some of your work – not just commercial work, we want to see those experimental side projects you’ve been working on too.

You should be able to demonstrate that you write clean and well-structured code that passes W3C validation where possible. You should have an understanding of the terms ‘progressive enhancement’ and ‘graceful degradation’, and have experience with responsive layouts for supporting a range of devices.

Craft and Innovation is what we love at Pirata and what we expect all Pirates to have in abundance, regardless of role.

Average / OK developers need not apply.

Mid / Senior Flash Developer

We’re looking for a brilliant developer with at least 4 years of experience, and who’s ready to move up to the next level. You should have a well-presented portfolio that showcases the best of your work, and you should be ready to talk us through some of the highlights if we invite you in for an interview.

You must be an advanced Actionscript developer who is experienced with frameworks such as Robotlegs or PureMVC. However you’ll also be expected to have a general understanding of the broader web and mobile development skill-set. Additional skills such as HTML5, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Node JS, Java or iOS development are a huge bonus as it won’t be a 100% Flash development role. Show us what you could bring to the table.

At this level you’ll be expected to have excellent communication skills and a confident, mature and positive attitude. And you’ll be expected to attend meetings with clients, to talk them through the work and to listen to and understand their requirements.

Becoming a Pirate means you get exposed to a huge range of interesting and challenging projects of all shapes and sizes. We’re a close-knit and informal team but we work hard and take great pride in what we do. Craft and Innovation is what we love at Pirata and what we expect all Pirates to have in abundance, regardless of role.

Get in touch if you think you’ve got the skills.
