* Collaboration: Work closely with designers, product managers, and developers using Git, Bitbucket, Jira, and Slack.
* Quality: Write clean, testable code with PHPUnit/Jest, and contribute to CI/CD pipelines.
* Problem Solving: Debug, optimise, and enhance systems across the stack.
What We're Looking For

* Strong experience with Laravel (PHP) and modern ReactJS.

* Familiarity with Git workflows and team collaboration tools.
Nice to Haves:
* Experience with Docker and CI/CD pipelines.
