As an Amazee, you’ll be working with a committed and open Drupal and React agency with a passion for engaging web design and digital experiences. Our services include experience design, web consulting and web development, as well as hosting and maintenance.
Great experience is key to who we are, both for our customers and our employees. We want to build great things and have fun doing it.

- Work collaboratively with both your team and your client’s technical leads in providing technical planning and solutions engineering, as well as guidance during development and deployment in areas such as; systems architecture, plugin and module selection, integration and development of APIs, performance tuning, scalability, security etc.

- Drive and guide projects with your experience in Agile methodologies (Such as SCRUM or Kanban).
