We’re looking for a full stack web developer who wants to be working with the latest technology to join our team at our new office in Exeter, UK. The ideal candidate will be comfortable in multiple programming languages with experience working on high traffic websites.

- Git, Docker, Vagrant and Kubernetes are used for deployment and development.

I'm a UX designer and new to the site (fresh eyes are best) if you'd like some insights or suggestions in this regard. Best of luck!
Also the link to the article about the new office does not seem to work.
Yes, we're still looking :)
