Description
This is an opportunity to join a fast growing and innovative media startup, and gain experience in a global business which has raised a total of £7 million of funding, most recently from News Corporation. You will help the company build influential media brands which are loved, feared and imitated.
In this role, you will lead and define technology at Tab Media. You will manage a team of two: a Senior WordPress Developer who oversees a large WordPress multi-site, and a Designer/Front End Developer who spends the majority of his time on client campaigns.
You will be hands-on with development across our applications and microservices written in JavaScript. As Technical Lead, you will oversee major redesigns of our hugely popular editorial brands The Tab and babe and maintain and improve our internal CMS and story editor written with React, Redux and Node.
