Job purpose
You will guide the continuous development of Vitsœ’s technology in a collaborative, effective and Agile manner leading a multidisciplinary technology team. High-quality software will be delivered using best-of-breed frameworks, such as Laravel, and components to support the requirements of a growing business.
Key areas of responsibility
* collaborating openly and autonomously within a non-siloed, organic business structure
* leading, coaching and growing a technology team of developers, UI and UX designers to deliver effective software within an Agile environment
* working with product owners and project managers to establish formal requirements, produce technical specifications and deliver software to an agreed plan
* identifying appropriate software architecture, approaches, frameworks and components to implement the business requirements
* safe-guarding the stability, effectiveness and continuity of software development
* maintaining and managing technical debt, security and compliance of in-house software
* overseeing Vitsœ’s hardware resources, in collaboration with the IT support partner
The role requires
* experience of implementing software systems which leverage third-party APIs
* expertise in the traditional PHP stack (PHP/mySQL/HTML/CSS/JavaScript) in modern frameworks such as Laravel or Symphony
* implementing and working within service-oriented architectures and associated principles and standards, eg SOLID
* good understanding of test approaches (eg unit versus integration)
* a pragmatist who can achieve a balance between the creative approach of a developer and the needs of the business
The person will be
* careful, organised and diligent – even meticulous – with a good dose of common sense
* demanding of high standards, and at ease with demanding people
* effective – but also efficient – in both the physical and digital realms
* modestly confident, good-humoured and trustworthy
* at home in the worlds of art, architecture, craft and design
* informal but 100% professional, while respecting traditional courtesy and good manners
