Web Developer

Wakefield | Hybrid (3 Days On-Site)

Permanent | Full-Time

We’re looking for a Mid–Senior Web Developer to join a growing digital team based in Wakefield. This is a hands-on role where you’ll work across both front-end and back-end development, contributing to modern, user-focused web applications used in real-world commercial environments.

You’ll be trusted with meaningful responsibility, involved in technical decisions, and encouraged to shape how things are built.

The Role:

You’ll be part of a collaborative development team, working closely with designers, product owners and stakeholders to deliver high-quality web solutions. This role suits a developer who enjoys problem-solving, writing clean and maintainable code, and seeing their work make a tangible impact. You’ll split your time across front-end and back-end development, with the opportunity to lean into your strengths while continuing to grow your skill set.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Building responsive, high-performance user interfaces using React and modern JavaScript
• Developing and maintaining secure, scalable backend services using PHP and Node.js
• Designing, querying and optimising SQL Server databases
• Collaborating with designers and product owners to improve user journeys and functionality
• Contributing to UI/UX discussions and helping shape intuitive interfaces
• Taking part in code reviews, sprint planning and team stand-ups
• Troubleshooting, improving and refactoring existing applications
• Following best practices for performance, security and maintainability

What We’re Looking For:

• 3–6+ years commercial web development experience
• Strong front-end skills with React, JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3
• Solid back-end experience with PHP and Node.js
• Experience working with SQL Server (schemas, queries, optimisation, stored procedures)
• Good understanding of RESTful APIs and modern development workflows
• Experience using Git in a team environment
• Comfortable working on-site in Wakefield, three days per week
• Strong communication skills and a practical, problem-solving mindset

Nice to Have (Not Essential):

• Interest or experience in UI/UX design
• Knowledge of TypeScript
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure or similar)
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines

You don’t need to tick every box, they are more interested in strong fundamentals and a willingness to learn.

What You’ll Get:

• Competitive salary (dependent on experience)
• Hybrid working (3 days on-site, 2 remote)
• Friendly, supportive and collaborative team environment
• Opportunities for training, learning and career progression
• Modern tech stack and meaningful, long-term projects
• A role where your ideas and contributions are genuinely valued

Why Apply?

This is a great opportunity for a developer who wants variety, responsibility and progression without being siloed or micromanaged. You’ll work on real products, with real users, alongside people who care about building things properly.
