Position Summary
As a Senior Full Developer you will work as an important member of Future’s Subscriptions Team, collaborating closely with the wider Technology & Engineering department. You will manage the scoping and planning of new software components, refactor existing code, and work with other teams to build new services and products. Reporting to the Senior Tech Lead, your primary focus will be on developing new components for Future’s subscriptions platform while collaborating within an Agile delivery environment.
As a senior developer you will help shape application and systems architecture, gaining a high‑level understanding of the entire stack. You will develop expertise in subscriptions and related Future systems such as Kiosq paywall, the Vanilla publishing platform, and Hawk Affiliate systems, and you will ensure that your code is well‑scoped, monitored, documented, and testable.
A grasp of testing practices will be essential, including writing unit, integration, and end‑to‑end tests with frameworks such as Vitest, PHPUnit, Jest, Cypress, or WebDriverIO, and setting up safeguards to prevent regressions by tracing bugs across the stack.
In addition to coding responsibilities you will contribute to code reviews, both giving and receiving feedback before changes move through QA and into production. As a senior team member you will also mentor junior developers, offering guidance through code review, technical direction, and one‑on‑one support to help them grow their skills and confidence.
