The Role
We're looking for a Junior Web Developer with a curious mindset and strong technical foundation to join our investigative team. This isn't a traditional development position — you'll use your web development skills to explore, dissect, and understand websites in depth. From analysing site architecture and interpreting code to uncovering infrastructure choices, you'll help reveal how businesses operate behind the scenes. You should enjoy solving puzzles, experimenting with data discovery methods, and digging into how things work under the hood.
The role requires a self-starter who takes ownership of work and is self-accountable. This is an opportunity to work in a growing and fast-paced company with strong leadership.
Why Join Us:
* Work at the frontier of web-based investigation and alternative data
* Learn from and contribute to proprietary methodologies that drive real-world insights
* A supportive, fast-paced team with strong leadership and growth opportunities
* A small, collaborative environment where your work is valued and impactful
* Room to explore new tools, approaches, and creative ways of thinking
What We Need You To Do
* Investigate and document the user experience across target company websites
* Run sites through a suite of data-discovery tools and custom methodologies
* Analyse front-end code, network setups, and site architecture
* Experiment with new techniques to reveal insights about business performance and digital infrastructure
* Clearly summarise findings in a structured, repeatable way — outlining processes, tools used, and outcomes
* Collaborate closely with the team to prioritise tasks and refine our research methodologies
What You Bring to Hatched
* Solid web development knowledge (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and an understanding of how modern websites are built
* Ability to interpret and audit front-end code and basic server-side signals
* Curiosity and a problem-solving mindset — you enjoy digging into systems and figuring out how they work
* Ability to self-manage, take initiative, and meet deadlines with minimal supervision
* Strong written communication skills for documenting methodologies and findings
* Bonus: Familiarity with web scraping and parsing techniques
* Bonus: Experience with manual testing, QA workflows, or basic network administration
