We are Karmarama. We reframe brands for an ever-changing modern world. We do this by combining creative excellence with technology-led solutions. It means we can help clients with their business challenges now, and plan for their business opportunities next. It’s a more progressive, more effective way of working.

Our Engineering Team, within Creative Products has practices across iOS, Android and Web tech development, meaning we don’t advice how businesses can meet their challenges, we help them build the necessary foundations and channels to get them there. We help evolve the business, together.

And we're growing at an amazing rate. Which is where you come in; we’re currently looking for a Lead Web Developer to join, and lead, our talented Engineering Team.

As a Lead Web Developer, you will:

We expect you to keep yourself, your team, and the company up-to-date with, and champion, the latest web technology and trends. You will be the leading voice for web with Creative Products and the wider Karmarama team: steering change, modifying delivery as technologies emerge and fade, allowing us to build capabilities in emerging technologies. Here at Creative Products, we blend technology with the creative and strategic disciplines in the agency.

You will be architecting and leading the development across a portfolio of complex and innovative products, web-based mobile apps and responsive web applications. This role is very much hands-on.
