What this role actually involves
CareerHub analysis
CareerHub is hiring a Web Developer on a full-time basis in Lagos, Nigeria. The role is on-site and pitched at mid level, so the hiring team will expect working familiarity with HTML, CSS and JavaScript rather than classroom exposure. There are 5 core responsibilities attached to the position; the first two are usually what the interview actually focuses on. CareerHub operates in general, which shapes both the pace of the work and the kind of examples that land well in an interview.
About the job
We are looking for a web developer to build and maintain the pages and features our customers use every day. You will work closely with whoever owns the design and the content, and you will own your work from first commit through to it running in production.
Responsibilities
- Build new pages and features, and keep existing ones working
- Fix bugs reported by customers and by the team
- Make sure the site works properly on phones as well as desktop
- Keep page load times reasonable as the site grows
- Review your own work before asking someone else to
Requirements
- Practical experience building websites, whether paid, freelance or self-taught
- Comfortable with HTML, CSS and JavaScript
- Experience with a modern framework such as React
- Able to use Git without supervision
- Willing to ask questions early rather than get stuck quietly
Benefits
- Learning budget
- Flexible working hours
The skills that will be tested, explained
Written by our editorial team, not taken from the listing.
React
On the job: Building user interfaces out of components, managing state without turning the app into a web of side effects, and knowing when a re-render is costing your users time.
How it is assessed: Expect a live or take-home exercise: fetch data, render a list, handle loading and error states. Interviewers watch for how you split components and where you put state.
On your CV: Name the app, the scale, and the outcome: "Rebuilt a 40-screen dashboard in React, cutting first paint from 4.1s to 1.3s."
Also listed: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Git.

How to apply for this role well
Tailoring your CV
- Put HTML, CSS, JavaScript in the top third of page one. Most screens for a Web Developer take under a minute, and recruiters read top-down.
- Mirror the language of the listing where it is honest to do so. If the advert says "HTML", write "HTML" — not a synonym an applicant tracking system will miss.
- Lead each bullet with a verb and close it with a number. "Managed reporting" is invisible; "Rebuilt weekly reporting for 12 branches, cutting prep time from 6 hours to 40 minutes" is not.
- The listing puts "Build new pages and features, and keep existing ones working" first, which usually signals the day-one priority. Make sure one bullet on your CV maps directly to it.
- Keep it to two pages and export as PDF so your layout survives.
Your cover letter
- Open with the specific role and where you saw it: "I am applying for the Web Developer role at CareerHub." No suspense, no throat-clearing.
- Paragraph two is the one that matters. Take a single requirement from the listing and give a concrete example of doing it, with the outcome.
- Show that you know something about CareerHub beyond its homepage — a product decision, a market they operate in, a recent change in general.
- Close with availability and a clear next step. Three to four short paragraphs, under 300 words, in the body of the email if you are applying by email.
- Never send the same letter twice. Reviewers can tell, and a generic letter is worse than none.
Before you hit send
- A CV tailored to this listing, saved as PDF with your name in the filename.
- A short cover note that names the role and one relevant result.
- Two referees who have agreed in advance to be contacted.
- Ten minutes to complete the application form on this page.
Interview preparation
- Prepare a two-minute answer to "why this role at CareerHub?" that references the company's work in general.
- Have three STAR stories ready — situation, task, action, result — that cover HTML and CSS.
- Expect at least one question about working on-site, especially how you keep work visible to people who cannot see your screen.
- Prepare two questions of your own. Good ones: what does success look like in the first 90 days, and what does the team find hardest right now?
Industry context
CareerHub works in General. As the organisation, that affects how the Web Developer role is scoped: smaller teams tend to want breadth and a bias to action, larger ones want depth and evidence that you can work across functions. Candidates who research the sector — its customers, its regulation, its current pressures — interview noticeably better than those who research only the company.
CareerHub is a career and employment platform connecting job seekers with opportunities while providing useful career resources, workplace information, and professional development content.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Web Developer role at CareerHub remote?

What salary does this role pay?
The advertised range is NGN 300K – NGN 550K/mo. Total package may also include bonus, pension and leave, so ask for the full breakdown at screening stage.
How do I apply?
Use the application form on this page. You will need your CV and about ten minutes.
How long does a response usually take?
Two to three weeks is typical. If you have heard nothing after ten working days, a short, polite follow-up to the recruiter is appropriate and will not count against you.

Mid level. If you meet roughly 70% of the requirements it is still worth applying — very few candidates match every line of a job advert.
