We're looking for a talented Web Developer to join the Root Studio team

Lea Chapman

Root Studio, Lincoln

At Root Studio, we're on the hunt for a skilled front-end/PHP web developer to join our thriving design and development studio.

As a growing agency primarily based in Lincoln, we're looking for someone who shares our passion for building innovative, beautifully-crafted websites that help our clients succeed online.

If you have a strong command of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP and are interested in back-end work as well, this could be the perfect opportunity. We're looking for a developer with an eye for detail who takes pride in writing clean, semantic code.

What We're Looking For

In an ideal candidate, we'd love to see:

  • Mastery of HTML, CSS/Sass, and JavaScript

  • Strong working knowledge of PHP 8+

  • Experience with version control using Git

  • Familiarity with tools and task runners like Vite or Webpack

  • SQL and database management abilities

  • Framework experience with the likes of Laravel, AlpineJS, or Livewire

  • An understanding of CSS architectures such as BEM or ITCSS

  • Experience integrating websites with content management systems like Statamic, Craft, or WordPress

  • Basic server management and deployment skills

While at least one year of recent commercial development experience would be great, we're also open to hearing from talented junior developers who are eager to grow their skills in an agency environment.

What We Offer

In return, you can look forward to:

  • A competitive salary starting from £35,000+, depending on experience

  • Flexible working hours, with Mondays and Fridays remote

  • A city centre parking pass if needed

  • Company pension scheme

  • A fully-equipped Mac workstation with all the software you need

  • A healthy work/life balance in a trusting, enthusiastic environment

  • The chance to work on a diverse range of projects, from front-end builds to custom APIs

Find out more about what it's like to work in the studio here or see more details about the role here.

If this sounds like the kind of role you'd thrive in, we'd love to hear from you. Send your CV, a link to your website or GitHub profile and some examples of websites you've worked on in the past to apply@rootstudio.co.uk. We can't wait to see what you can bring to the table!
