Mando Agency

Life at Mando Agency is fast-paced and we have high expectations of each other. We live and breathe the digital solutions we’re working on, and take our responsibilities to our customers very seriously. That doesn’t mean we’re machines though .... It’s really important to us that we have a culture of looking out for one another and create a positive environment for us all.

We've taken some time to think about who we are. Our internal values are the principles we benchmark ourselves against, as individuals and as a team. They align us and inform how we perform and guide the quality control of what we deliver. They are also values to inspire and encourage development of skills.

We are insightful, collaborative momentum makers - does this sound like you?

We’re looking for individuals to develop digital solutions using Sitecore, Optimizely, Umbraco, c#, .NET Core and related technologies, to a high level of quality and in adherence to departmental standards and practices.

 Your qualities:

You are a diligent and dedicated Mid level or Senior developer who strives to work "right first time". You enjoy the challenge of picking up new tools and technology platforms, and sharing what you know with others. You’re a pragmatic programmer who understands that development problems are about choices and trade-offs, and there is seldom one right answer.  You are comfortable with change and love to engage with new challenges in an agile way.

Your responsibilities:
