Senior developer

Company details

Description of the offer

You don’t just code; you craft. You build immersive, elegant digital experiences that feel inevitable. You think in components, care about design, and have a deep respect for details most people miss. You’ve spent years honing your development skills, motivated by a desire to make things better, smarter, and more human.

We want a Senior UI Developer to join our multidisciplinary team. You’ll be a core contributor; thinking critically, collaborating instinctively, and building digital products that push boundaries and unlock impact.  You bring a strong command of modern front-end technologies, and a creative mindset that thrives at the intersection of design and development.

This isn’t a ticket factory role. You’ll work on large-scale, greenfield digital projects, owning outcomes from day one. Our team focuses on complex problems with deep involvement. You’ll shape the experience, steer the technical direction, and help us deliver work that moves the needle.

You’ll be backed by an experienced, switched-on team that values feedback, rigour, and momentum. We don’t rate ego. We maintain high standards, share success, and hold a deep respect for craft. You’ll work closely with our clients to meet ambitious goals and bring bold ideas to life.

• You know how to manage yourself within a team environment. You understand the balance between a flexible collaborative mindset and self-directed work.

At August, ambition isn’t just welcomed, it’s expected. We think deep, move fast, and aim high. We don’t settle for safe.

You’ll be supported, challenged, and surrounded by people who genuinely want to see you win. That’s part of why our average tenure is over five years. People don’t just stay, they shape what comes next.

We work with organisations that are sharp, future-focused, and unapologetically driven. From healthcare to education, fintech to the arts; they’re all serious about doing good work that leaves a mark. We don’t just show up to design, strategise, or launch.

As a team member, you can also expect:

• A competitive salary package that is based on your skills and experience.
