Summary
The Role
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated Web Developer to join our team. In this role, you'll be working directly on Basker, building features that help theatres, concert halls, and arenas create better websites and connect with their audiences. You'll gain hands-on experience in full-stack development, working directly with the founder to create real-world solutions and refine your technical skills.
This role is ideal for someone passionate about coding, who enjoys problem-solving, and who is eager to build a solid foundation in modern web development with a focus on product. You will work with cutting-edge technologies, taking ownership of tasks and making meaningful contributions to the product that impact businesses and their customers.
This opportunity is an entry-level position, so commercial experience is not required, but you must demonstrate your skills through qualifications, personal projects, or a portfolio. You must be able to write and understand code without AI.
Basker
Basker is a SaaS CMS and website builder designed for venues and live events, including theatres, concert halls, and arenas. Basker enables users to create and launch well-designed, structured websites with or without code. The platform offers out-of-the-box integrations with industry-leading ticketing systems to keep customers' event and ticketing information in sync. Built to perform at scale, it handles large on-sales and is continuously updated to keep venues ahead of the curve.
What You'll Do
- Write high-quality code using TypeScript, React, and Next.js, among others.
- Develop responsive, accessible, standards-compliant HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
- Build and maintain full-stack web applications, contributing to front-end and back-end development.
- Work with the Basker Platform, including building custom themes, apps, and supporting implementation projects.
- Demo work, respond to feedback, and remediate bugs.
- Continuously learn and apply new technologies to the product.
- Write tests and deploy code in development and staging environments.
- Review and respond to customer requests via Linear and Slack, ensuring effective communication and collaboration.
Required Skills
We are looking for technical problem solvers who love coding and are eager to grow. You should have:
- Proficiency in coding with the ability to design and implement web-based software solutions.
- Comfort using a Mac, Visual Studio Code, and the terminal, executing commands and working with developer tools.
- Experience with React and TypeScript (e.g. self-learning, coursework, or projects).
- A solid understanding of how websites work and the fundamentals of web technology and the Internet.
- A firm grasp of algorithm design and implementation, including sorting and searching algorithms.
- Excellent problem-solving abilities and the ability to work effectively in a team environment.
- Persistence, determination, and strong analytical thinking skills, with a structured approach to debugging and troubleshooting.
- Strong communication skills and fluency in English, both written and verbal.
- A proactive, adaptable mindset, open to learning and taking initiative in unfamiliar situations.
- A hacker mindset — you enjoy breaking down complex systems, discovering how things work under the hood, and finding clever, resource-efficient solutions.
Desirable Skills
The ideal candidate may also have experience with:
- Next.js — Experience building interactive, high-performance web applications using React and Next.js, including server-side rendering (SSR), static site generation (SSG), and API integration.
- Content Management Systems (CMS) — such as Payload CMS or Sanity – familiarity with setting up, extending, and customising CMS platforms, working with REST or GraphQL APIs, and integrating content workflows.
- Box Office Systems — Experience working with API integrations using Web APIs with systems such as Tessitura and Spektrix.
Qualifications
While no formal qualifications are required, a successful candidate is likely to have one of these:
- Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, a related subject, or an equivalent diploma.
- Any Bachelor's Degree with a Coding Bootcamp Certificate or MSc in Computer Science.
- Coding Bootcamp Certificate, or equivalent training course for web development.
Candidates with self-taught experience or a strong portfolio demonstrating practical coding ability are encouraged to apply.
Compensation & Benefits
- Salary: £24,000 per annum
- Pension: 6% matching pension contributions
- Healthcare Cash Plan
- Annual Leave:
- 25 days holiday + bank holidays
- 1 additional day for every 2 years of service, up to a maximum of 30 days
- If your birthday falls on a weekday, you get that off too.
- Enhanced Maternity/Paternity Leave
- Annual Training and Development Budget
- Cultural Fund
