Front-end developer

Mr. Henry is looking for a front-end developer

At Mr. Henry, we sail against the current of the wild web development seas.

Let aside the bad metaphors, we're working on our own way to build for the web. Instead of hopping on every new framework that pops up, we choose to take a step back and work on something stubborn & better.

Based on new, modern, and future-proof web standards, we're trying to build websites that work, everywhere, for everyone. For every Shiny New Thing™, we want to raise a thing that Just Works™.

If this tickles your curiosity, we'd like to talk to you. If you think we're 100% in the wrong, we'd still like to talk to you.

Who we are

Mr. Henry is an internet-bureau, graphic design firm, development factory, birthplace of concepts and ideas & creative cave... We love what we do! Mr. Henry is a small team, working on both little and big projects, be it on- or offline; but all with the same vigor!

Our 'clientèle' ranges from rockstars to architects, photographers to cities.
