MediaMonks Singapore is looking for a Creative Web Lead Developer. Someone at the same level as a senior developer, but with the added challenge of owning projects from start to finish, overseeing how development progresses across multiple teams, and being the one person who can see and identify all the steps needed to reach the end goal. Your projects will range from single page product launches, to fully functioning commerce platforms that integrate with 3rd party CRMs. From a simple visitor counter widget, to an interactive 3D web game.
In this role, you will help our producers discuss and agree on technical matters with our clients. Depending on the project you may, (1) spend time prototyping something for our clients, (2) lead a multidisciplinary team of developers in a different timezone, or (3) work closely with our client’s internal teams to get our projects done. Good verbal communication is important, as you will be involved in pitching, onboarding, developing, overseeing, and delivering projects.
In this role, you will guide our creative team to hone in on award winning ideas that are feasible, and help our clients reach their goals.
MediaMonks considers Lead Developers to be the Monks of the highest level of technical expertise within its production ranks. However, it is not an end station, and growth options are available. At MediaMonks Singapore you will have other Lead Developers in different fields as co-workers. Together you form the technical team of MediaMonks Singapore, backed by a global team of many other developers.
Unfortunately we are not able to offer visa sponsorship for this role.
