If you're after a easy going developer role where there's more work then we can get through then please let me know. No agencies and please only apply if you're used to throwing code out from ticket reference branches - we want to be pushing/building multiple times a day in some situations.

The main project will be working on a recently deployed directory website and there will be a mix of performance & bug fixing and new feature dev work.
