About Studio East
Studio East is a fast-moving creative studio working across branding, digital and performance. We've got studios in Dublin, London and Dubai, and we build sharp, design-led websites for brands in fashion, fintech, travel and more.
We mix strong design with clean, scalable build. Nothing bloated. Nothing overbuilt. Just smart, well-considered work that does the job and looks good doing it.
We're growing the dev team and looking for a senior developer who's up for leading builds, solving problems, and helping shape how we work as we scale.
The Role
You'll lead full website builds across React, Webflow, WordPress and Shopify. You'll work closely with designers, manage projects from start to finish, and help set the standard across how we plan, scope and deliver.
Alongside the day-to-day builds, you'll help keep the dev stack running smoothly. That includes looking after hosting, deploys and tools across Firebase, Google Cloud and Digital Ocean.
You'll also have space to shape the process. We're looking for someone who brings ideas, not just code and build.
What You'll Do
* Build and maintain fast, responsive websites using React, Webflow, WordPress and Shopify
* Customise themes, templates and CMS setups
* Integrate CRMs, analytics, chatbots, forms and third-party tools
* Work alongside designers in Figma to bring layouts to life
* Make sure things perform well and match the creative
* Test across browsers and devices (we use BrowserStack)
* Deploy builds using Firebase and Google Cloud
* Jump into Digital Ocean when needed via SSH
* Keep repos tidy and help improve how we structure code
* Spot problems early and suggest better ways of working
* Share knowledge with the team and support junior devs
* Pick up basic admin where needed (checking inboxes, forwarding invoices)
What You Bring
* 6+ years of hands-on web development experience
* Solid skills in HTML, CSS and JavaScript
* Strong experience building React websites
* WordPress and Shopify experience (including PHP and Liquid)
* Confident in Webflow
* Comfortable with APIs, webhooks and tool integrations
* Familiar with deploys and environment setup on Firebase and Google Cloud
* Able to handle VPS access and SSH for manual deploys
* Experience with QA and performance checks - not just building but testing
* Used GitHub properly in a team (branches, PRs, clean commits)
* Clear communicator - you document well and work clean
* Proactive mindset - you flag issues early and suggest improvements
* Experience mentoring or supporting others is a bonus
* A basic understanding of secure dev practices
Nice to Have
* Framer experience (or open to learning)
