Overview
Salary: £32-40k (depending on experience) Location: UK (remote working) Duration: Permanent We are looking to recruit a front-end software developer with excellent visual design skills to join us on a full-time or a part-time basis. Wordwall.net makes it easy for teachers to create interactive games and printed worksheets for their students. It automates the process of resource design, so teachers can simply enter the content that is appropriate for their class - a list of keywords, definitions, questions or images. Wordwall produces the content in over 60 different templates; for example, gameshow quizzes, crosswords, labelled diagrams and arcade games. It seeks to disrupt the publisher-driven model of paid-for "professionally" made educational content, by putting high-quality content creation in the hands of teachers and making that teacher-made content, freely accessible through our online community. We are a small company and we all work remotely. Our user base has increased 15 percent month-on-month over the past three years, with low churn and we’re already in profit. We’ve got a product that works and we’re building for the long-term. We want people who want to stick around, grow with us and help make games-based learning accessible to all. Job requirements: at least 3 years experience in a front-end or games development role excellent design skills ability to implement designs using XML layouts with code-behind confidence in manipulating graphics and other media files ability to collaborate with illustrators and sound designers ability to plan and organise work, ask for help and exercise self-discipline while working remotely Technologies we use: HTML5, CSS, Javascript, Canvas API, WebAudioAPI, C#, ASP.NET MVC, MS-SQL While we need our team to be committed and accountable for their work, we hope this job would provide an opportunity for those who need to work more flexibly - e.g. it might be suited for those who have caring responsibilities or for whom working a 9-5 office job would be challenging. We are an equal opportunities employer. Real applicants only - no agencies.
