Senior Web Developer

We’re looking for a skilled and ambitious developer to join the award-winning Anthologie digital team. Our ideal someone has a genuine interest (and strong opinions) in technology, and a desire to grow their career in a fast-paced agency environment.

The role

Developers in the Anthologie digital team are experienced, innovative and willing to explore new ways of working. They’re practical and curious, always looking to optimise – learning from what we’ve done, planning for what comes next.

Ultimately, we care a lot about elegant, performant development work, and we’re always looking to improve. Our ideal candidate absolutely believes this too.

In the past year at Anthologie, our developers have built an internationally acclaimed platform to throw a spotlight on overfishing, and they’ve crafted an engaging interface for Australians to track their carbon impact… amongst a range of other projects.

Off the back of some significant wins, we have several high profile projects coming in 2022 and we’re excited to grow the team and take the year head on.
