Junior JavaScript / Node.js Developer

Junior JavaScript / Node.js Developer

Location: Ashford

Salary: Up to 35k DOE

Level: Junior / early-career

Do these questions sound like you?

Do you enjoy writing code and want to keep getting better at it?

Are you interested in cloud computing and AWS, even if you are still early on that journey?

Do you want to be trained properly and build something meaningful, not just fix small tickets?

If so, this could be a really strong next step.

The opportunity

We are recruiting for a Junior JavaScript / Node.js Developer to join a growing, forward-thinking team who care far more about enthusiasm, curiosity, and potential than ticking boxes on a CV.

This role is aimed at someone who wants to code. Someone who enjoys building, experimenting, learning, and improving and who is excited by modern development practices, cloud technology, and using AI as part of their workflow.

You do not need to be senior. You do need to care.

You will be supported, trained, and encouraged to grow technically and professionally.

What you will be getting involved in

• Writing and improving JavaScript / Node.js code
• Contributing to real products and services, not toy projects
• Working with cloud-hosted applications, with exposure to AWS
• Learning how applications are deployed, scaled, and maintained in the cloud
• Using AI tools responsibly to support development and productivity
• Collaborating with other developers to design and build solutions properly

What they are looking for

This role would suit someone who has:

• Hands-on experience with JavaScript, ideally including Node.js
• Some exposure to cloud computing, ideally AWS
  • This could be through study, labs, personal projects, or a junior role
• A genuine interest in how modern applications are built and run
• Curiosity, enthusiasm, and a desire to keep learning
• Comfort using AI tools as part of development (and an understanding of their strengths and limits)
• Any knowledge of InDesign would be a big plus

Commercial experience matters less than attitude and ability.

Who this is ideal for

You might be:

• Early in your development career
• Self-taught or bootcamp trained
• A graduate with practical coding and cloud projects
• In a junior role but not being stretched or supported properly

As long as you can code, want to code, and want to grow, this client is open-minded.

Why this role is different

• Training and development are taken seriously
• You will be encouraged to learn, ask questions, and improve
• You will be building things properly, not just maintaining legacy code
• AI is seen as a tool to support good engineering, not a shortcut
