We are looking for a self-motivated and creative front end developer with excellent TypeScript abilities to join our team in London. 

At Phantom, we’ve been particularly successful in developing and launching a number of high-impact websites including Annoying Museum for Zendesk and Google Visitor Experience for Google.

You’d work across our entire digital output (basically anything that can be seen on a screen, web and otherwise) collaborating closely with both the design and development team to come up with beautiful and intelligent solutions to challenging yet exciting briefs. As such a strong foundation in the fundamentals of HTML, CSS and TypeScript is required.

Our projects are generally highly custom and innovative and thus you will need to be comfortable integrating experimental technologies such as WebGL, XR, Custom Audio and a general understanding of generative AI and how to utilise it for your work. We work with React, Angular, and pure TypeScript to bring these experiences and websites to life, as such we’d appreciate a candidate that’s flexible and can pick up new technologies and frameworks with ease.

Above all, we value creativity and the ability to find unique solutions to everyday problems. As we are a young company you will have the opportunity and freedom to shape the way we work. Find out more about us by visiting our website phantom.land!
