Might I ask what tech stacks you are using on both FE and BE side?

So, from the description I take it that React is being used on FE side? Do you still use stuff like jQuery or are you going with an vanilla ES6 approach or maybe even ES6 with Typescript?
And it also looks like your BE is done with PHP? Do you have a custom CMS for internal usage or how are you maintaining stuff?

Also, do you also accept remote-only Devs?

Hey Distrubed147,

I've asked the dev team for answers to your technical questions, but the one I can answer is this:

We're looking for someone to work with our team based in Exeter, UK from our office. For the right candidates, we may be able to assist with relocation expenses and logistics.

I don't think React.js is used in the front end side. I have a React.js dev-tool as a chrome extension. It's not showing React.

The front end of the Nexus mods is wonderful I like it. But the back end I think is not quite good. It's a bit slow at least I feel.

Seems every week you're looking for devs...probably because your staff keep leaving you.

What are you basing this on?

It's quite the opposite actually. We're looking for new members of the team to help us improve the site.

There's no need for relocation for work like this. I've been freelancing for a decade and get far LESS done in offices than from the quiet of home. The only exception is major planning meetings, which in the current time are probably held so remotely that it actually makes no difference anyway, if you can't pass a pencil & paper around there's no advantage.

In a strange coincidence I've previously worked on several sites belonging to one of your competitors, back and front ends, so I know it's completely possible to do with a site/scale of this nature. I'm very surprised the pandemic hasn't helped you realise this yet.
