Just as we like to bring the London tech community some of the best events around, we have decided to bring you some of the best jobs. We're not selling ad space: the jobs listed here are from companies we know have happy staff working on interesting projects.
Skimlinks is looking for a programmer (we're language agnostic) who's interested in joining and leading our front-end team. Skimlinks is one of the most well-known UK-originated startups in the internet space, founded in London in 2007 and now with offices in San Francisco and New York. We have been described by Techcrunch as one of London's leading startups, and voted in the top 10 of the Guardian Tech Media Invest.
Skimlinks offers blogs, forums and websites the ability to earn an income from their content, by paying them a commission if readers click through and make an online purchase.We consider ourselves a company that sells innovations, and in the last few years we have conceived and built a range of unique, compelling products that have shaken up the online monetization space.
We're building a single page analytics suite to give web publishers actionable information on how they are monetizing and how they can better monetize (hey you’re helping keep the Internet’s lights on) . Its powered with Backbone.js, require.js, Highcharts and SASS. We're open minded about trying new tools and technologies (any ClosureScript fans out there?). It's very Javascript focussed, built around our API, and we're out to make a fast, reliable (testing + CI) web app that feels of the web, rather than a Flash RIA circa 2003.
While it's obviously simplest for someone who knows Javascript already, if you've never seen a === (some equality operators require more equality than others ;) ) but love picking up new technologies we'd like to hear from you.
We'll be most interested in reading your code, regardless of experience. If you've not got some code we can read, either bash out that project you've been meaning to work on or ask us and we'll put together a quick project for you (it'll be something fun, maybe involving d3.js) which will take an hour or so.
If you'd like to come in and have a look around and meet the team pre-interview, get in touch.
We look forward to meeting you!
An exciting opportunity for an experienced developer to join an award-winning VC-backed start-up during its rapid growth phase. The role is based in Shoreditch, London right in the middle of the Silicon Roundabout. Our digs have a strong technology culture, lots of space and a high-spec setup.

We consider ourselves a company that sells innovations, and in the last few years we have conceived and built a range of unique, compelling products that have shaken up the online monetization space.
Skimlinks prides ourselves on our fast rate of innovation and our clever products that solve real business problems. Although we have offices in San Francisco and New York, our core technology team is based in our London offices, where we are seeking a talented engineer to be involved in building ground-breaking and compelling products.
We are looking for someone who simply loves to code, someone who thinks of it as recreation rather than work, and who has a stream of projects going on just for fun.
We are a small, close-knit team of motivated, passionate professionals who demonstrate our skills in web development, user experience and design through the creation of websites, web applications and online tools. We started just under 5 years ago purely as a consultancy house and have since grown steadily to a team of 6. Both Directors have programming backgrounds and our key output is technical.
The 20 strong development team is split into smaller teams, each with it's own dedicated product manager and always on hand, in-line QA. Each of these teams operate like their own start-up - empowered to make any decisions needed to get the job done.
Wondering what you would work on?
Well, it's difficult to say since the scope of our work is so varied. The work changes depending on the priority set by our product team.
To provide you with a taste of what the work may involve: had you joined the team back in January you would have worked on some (or all of) the following:
We're currently working on something pretty interesting that involves CouchDB, and something else with Flash (sandwiched between a table football tournament or two).
We'd be over the moon if you:
It wouldn't hurt if you:

We're looking for our new in house Lead Developer!
We're looking for a self starting enthusiastic developer to take us to the next level. We have a few websites that you'll be in charge of. Firstly, our online research platform, CNCT, a little like a private Facebook. We have our main recruitment site, thesensenetwork.com and chorusandecho.com, the home of our global experts.
One half of your role will involve maintaining our current PHP/Javascript (CodeIgniter and Symphony2) code base. This means fixing bugs and implementing small feature updates. You have to be able to support the full stack, from server configuration to client side Javascript HTML & CSS. The other half of the role will involve building a brand new 'mini' social network, to replace the current Sense Network site. For the new site we would like to move away from a PHP backend and use Ruby, Python, a JVM language such as Scala or Clojure or even Node.js, whichever you feel confident with.
The new build will be your baby and we have big plans for the future of our network and so we feel that a move away from PHP was necessary both to shake things up a bit and to attract candidates that are keen to expand their horizons and learn about other technologies. Ideally the server and client would be completely separate code bases, communicating via API so you would have to be confident writing javascript (or Coffeescript) as well as using modern front-end libraries such as Backbone.js.
You will be working mostly on your own when it comes to coding but as a central part of our "Cyber" team you will have the support of Raj our Design Director, James our community manager who has a computer science background and can sling some code now and again, Maria who looks after the users and enjoys breaking things, pointing out bugs and suggesting new features and Jean Robert (Aka J) who looks after chorusandecho.com. We do also hire the occasional freelancer whenever necessary, web designers in particular.
Sense Worldwide is a forward thinking brand strategy agency. Recently described by FastCo as 'The Hogwarts of strategy'.
We were one of the first agencies to solve problems through co-creation and so we have built an enviable reputation for our strategic collaborative approach. We now help companies across many different categories, many of them the biggest and best known brands in the world, including Nike, MTV, Diageo and Johnson & Johnson.
We're a very diverse bunch of people and this is what sets us apart. As a Developer you will often be able to provide a unique perspective on some of our projects. You may be pulled in to meetings about the future of the Internet Of Things or be asked about your view on how to revolutionise banking. We have a great space in the loft where you will be encouraged to take part in events such as London IA or even organise your own tech meetup!
Huddle seeks to be at the forefront of the modern web, and is looking for an expert in web UI development to help us get there and stay there. We are building a rich, responsive, JavaScript-based web app, based on Knockout and talking directly to our extensive REST API. We are therefore looking for someone with exceptional JavaScript skills as well as the ability to produce beautiful and maintainable HTML and CSS.
Our focus is on providing a fantastic user experience, and alongside JavaScript, CSS and HTML development, this position involves working closely with our Interaction Designer, Visual Designer and Product team to make sure we build something that our users love.
Reporting to the Head of Development, and working as part of an Agile development team, this role is based at our Shoreditch office and has the following responsibilities:

Our product makes it easy for people to collaborate on content across all their devices. We need a magical user experience, providing simple, quick and ubiquitous access to people, information and tools. That experience begins in our insightful (naturally) product strategy and guides the development of our platform and API suite. Your job is to help us deliver a beautiful and usable user interface.
You're a designer who can also code. You're as adept with HTML5 and CSS3 as you are with typography, layout and colour theory. You're all about using responsive design and media queries to create adaptable pages that look awesome on all screens. You can work with wireframes, comps, and high-level requirements, and create beautiful, sensible design options that meet the brief. You're agile, creative, open to ideas and not afraid to speak up with your own.
