WHY WORK AT BELLROY?

We’re always looking for better ways to do things and we love to learn and try new things. We try to balance the tension between being idealistic (looking into the future) and pragmatic (getting things done). Within the front-end space, we’ve recently rolled out big changes to our component library and design system, allowing us to deliver more great-looking content with less fuss.

You can expect to learn a lot while you’re here and we will support your development along the way. There will be plenty of opportunities to expand your knowledge including company-wide learning events, team members who are excellent at what they do to learn from and plenty of interesting projects on the go that will challenge you.

We take great care to produce well-structured, well-tested, maintainable code. The first thing we’d love to see is if you can do this too - the most efficient way (for you and us) to do this is have you do a small coding exercise.

Pick a component from bellroy.com and re-create it as an Elm component. Some things we'll be looking for include: how you've structured the component, what controls you've included, how you've made it responsive, how you approach writing maintainable CSS, fetching data from an external source, etc. Extra points for packaging the component as part of an Astro build.
