At MALVI we are
passionate about creating stuff that works. We are looking for a like-minded Junior Front-end developer to join the team.
About our team:
MALVI is an award-winning design, strategy and communication agency based in Thessaloniki, Greece.
We design brands, products, spaces and strategies for growth and we are all excited with what we do. Everything we design or build serves its intended purpose 100%, and we don't stop until we get there. So, you will only enjoy this as much as we do, if you share the same passion and excitement. While
MALVI handles the high-end, high-purpose projects of the office, its digital services offspring
function(), develops top of the line e-commerce builds (through our Shopify partnership), as well as accommodate client needs through other web related service-based aspects.
This is a team in which designers understand coding, developers understand marketing and marketers understand design, so as long as you are willing to learn new, exciting stuff beyond designing websites and interfaces, then you're very likely a good match. Oh, you must also have high tolerance to cheesy jokes.
All this in a casual environment where the avant-garde sense of humor, the appreciation of great food and the desire to deliver jaw-dropping results exist in equal quantities.
Your responsibilities:
As an entry-level Junior Web developer your day will mostly involve supporting existing clients with their everyday, business-as-usual operations and various requests, through a task assignment system. You will be working closely with our core team to assess and resolve any issues, or help find solutions for new functionality implementation.
As part of our multi-disciplinary team, you will have the opportunity to work on exciting projects that range from web-based interfaces and online stores to VR environments. You will communicate with team members from different disciplines (all of them amazing), as well as directly with clients.
Once you feel comfortable enough with the ins and outs of the existing projects (mostly familiarizing yourself with Shopify's requirements for Online Store 2.0, Liquid templating, etc.), you can be given the opportunity to head a project build on your own, with the support of the team.
Does this sound like an opportunity to take your career into your own hands and build amazing stuff? If so, then please get in touch and let us know why.
PS: A CV is useful so we know what you've done so far, but anyone can put together a list of skills and qualifications. It's far more important that we understand who you are. We are passionate about creating stuff that works. What are you genuinely passionate about? That's what we'd like to know.
