Full Stack Developer - AWS

We are currently recruiting for a Full Stack Developer with good hands on experience of AWS and JavaScript.

If you would like to know a bit more about this opportunity, or are considering applying, then please read the following job information.

Why do we need Full Stack Developers?
Our applications are made up of frontends, backends and infrastructure. We believe that if we have engineers capable of working on all three, the result is a much more cohesive application that is easier to evolve and maintain over time. We therefore encourage all of our developers to get involved in all aspects even if they've only ever worked on one of them in the past.

We don't want to put people into boxes and limit their ambition or creativity, our goal for our engineers is to help them reach their potential. We can do this by providing the freedom to try new things, learn new skills (from formal training and collaboration) and get things wrong a few times before getting them right (without upsetting our customers!).

We have a sack full of ambition and a backlog full of ideas to provide the best experience to our customers. We also have the desire to make the engineering team a great place to work; where people are encouraged to use their skills and experience and to work together to create something incredible.
Below is what you can expect from working in the CMC engineering team in various areas.
