Web Application Developer

The Web Application Developer will be embedded in the NTS tech team, working closely with product owners, designers and engineers to deliver web application features for NTS listeners. As well as building upon the existing apps, we are devising and delivering greenfield projects and applications.

We’re looking for a problem solver and a creative thinker, somebody who focuses on delivering value to users and strives to design effortless and engaging user interfaces. The candidate should be a good listener, unafraid to publish your own ideas but also accepting of when to use somebody else’s.

We work collaboratively, so we’re looking for a team player. This allows considerable room for originality and new ideas, giving the candidate opportunities for their ideas to become reality during an exciting period for NTS.
