We're looking for enthusiastic and driven individuals to help with the web development side of our search engine. We're looking for developers from junior level through to more experienced – front end, back end and everything in between, including developers with an interest in DevOps/SRE and server administration.
I don't want to be rude, but I think you're going to have a hard time attracting any developers with an £18k salary. Are there any perks people should be aware of to make up for the low pay?
It's from £18k, which isn't unreasonable for a junior web developer with no experience, flexible working hours, and no cost for travelling to and from work. But we're open to all, so if you have more experience and are right for the role, then of course it would be higher.
Personally I think if you're looking to attract developers with strong potential you're off by a factor of approx. 2 - even for fresh developers with no experience. Perhaps I'm not accounting properly for the added value of flexible hours and no commute, as these have been standard for me recently.
This website [0] gives the 10th percentile for Graduate Web Developers UK-wide as £21,250 putting you firmly at the bottom end of the scale.
Yes for Graduate Web Developers, but they might not be graduates or even have any qualifications at all. We'll most likely end up paying more than that average but we don't want to discount or discourage anyone from applying. As mentioned before, it's from £18K, i.e. that's the lowest we'd offer.
