To apply send us a link to your portfolio, linkedin, sites you have created and we’ll go from there!

We’re looking for someone who will actually come in and be part of the company, and work with us to make MyPolice something great. We need someone who lives in Scotland with experience and commitment. Ideally, we are looking for someone who has been through the experience of setting up a business before.
We want our developer to work with us not for us, so we can look at alternative ways of building the site. Basically our developer would be a co-director and have a large input on the shape of the site.
We want someone who will work well with designers to create common understanding and language, rather than sitting at polar opposites as is so often the case.
We’re offering an immediate start. Salary 25 – 30K
Interest for this opportunity closes on Wednesday 18th of November…
