About the role
You will be working on the front end of the Webnographer application, both on the GUI of the application used by researchers, as well as GUI of the application used by participants who help in the online research. You will be responsible for the cross-browser, cross-platform, cross-device functionality, as well as the accessibility of the application.
You will work in a small team, and in an international environment, where the daily working language is English. But don’t worry; your English doesn’t need to be perfect. English is the second language for most of us, as our team consists of great minds from the UK, Germany, Belgium and Portugal.

We run training days and company days out. And at the end of the week we all share our week’s achievements over a drink at our Friday wind down. All this is what makes working at Webnographer fun.
