We need a talented coder to build great software.
We know that for many developers as your career progresses it's "expected" that you must take on more duties leading teams and spend less time coding. Well if all you want to do is amazing development we have a place for you here at Gibe! This role is all about the hard-core coders whose perfect day starts and ends fully focused on making things work!
We try to offer the best environment for our team. We offer flexible working hours, remote working (or if you're based near Bristol - we have a lovely office), competitive salary, training and more - and if we don't offer the perks that will persuade you that's open to discussion.

About Gibe
Gibe is a digital agency based right in the centre of Bristol. We specialise in technically complex .NET sites, predominately ecommerce. We have developed our own ecommerce software which we use alongside 3rd party systems. As we’re a small team everyone has the opportunity to contribute and make a real difference to the company.
We use Scrum to manage all of the work going through the studio, running fortnightly sprints.
Our harbourside offices are a very easy commute and if you cycle we've secure bike storage. There are many local places for lunch and post-work drinks and a gym nearby if you're the active type.
We have a laid-back but professional culture, table football and casual dress code. On top of that, we’re a social bunch that try and keep a good work/life balance. We do regular socials, which have included: clay pigeon shooting, games nights, bar openings, pool tournaments and trips away .
If this sounds like your thing send us an email with your CV and a covering letter explaining your passion for code.
