[JOB] Front-End JavaScript Web Developer

[Alex Cowles]

So it's been about 4 years since I was in Edinburgh, and I have no idea if Refresh is still going strong or not, but I figured it might be worth a shot.

I'm currently contracting at a company called Brainnwave who do data analysis, work with lots of types of geo-spatial and other data, and create bespoke webapps and suchlike for working with the data (as well as having a marketplace for buying and licensing data). We're looking for a good front-ender, and I figured it might be worth pushing out to the group:

Job spec as follows:
