Senior Front-End Developer

SKF are looking for a Senior Front-End Developer with JavaScript competence.

They’re a small team but have a large impact at SKF and its digital products! You’re curious by nature and eager to adopt new technologies that enable the cleanest and most maintainable solutions. You are as much vested in the impact product and team intents to achieve as you are focused on the deliverables.
