What You'll Be Doing
One of your main tasks as a web developer at Zervant is to help marketers and designers to build responsive high quality webpages with Wordpress and other platforms. You’ll be developing specific campaign pages, and create templates that enable our marketers to produce and publish high quality content on our website landing pages.
You’ll be responsible for maintaining our marketing website servers and technology. You'll get to build the framework and choose the technology that enables our international website to scale as our business is growing. You’ll play a key role in helping us expand to multiple markets and reach out to our customers in more effective ways.
We’re currently working with Wordpress, php, html, javascript, and other web technologies so knowing them would be essential, but we’re also re-architecting our web platform and your input on what other technologies and solutions we should use are crucial.
Apart from working with our websites the role can also include working with developing our core product and Help Centre with other developers.

- Develop and maintain a reliable and scalable website architecture
- Implement javascript functionality such as animations and interactions
- Help to build and develop analytics capabilities (AB-testing, user behaviour)
What We Expect
We would like you to have extensive experience working with web development from implementing front end solutions to building backend. You would also need to have a good understanding of effective and scalable web-solutions, preferably on the international playground.
- Good experience of current web technology standards and trends: html5, Sass, javascript and php (or other technologies)
