5. Collaborate with product, design, and stakeholders to shape features with purpose.

Our Tech Stack

10. AWS (ECS, S3, CloudWatch)

You'll Fit In If You...

11. Have 5 years of hands-on experience building web applications at scale.

12. Are highly proficient with Laravel and modern PHP practices.

13. Are comfortable working with Vue.js or similar reactive frameworks.

14. Enjoy mentoring others, collaborating on technical challenges, and helping set direction.

15. Are UK-based and able to commute to our Leicester office two days per week.

16. Have some mentoring or management experience - or are eager to grow into a leadership role.

Bonus Points For

17. Experience with AWS, Docker, or Kubernetes

18. Familiarity with agile practices, testing, and feature flagging

19. A GitHub profile or portfolio showcasing past projects

What We Offer

20. £60, - £70, salary, depending on experience

21. Hybrid working (3 days remote)

22. 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays

23. Private healthcare

24. Learning and development budget

25. A collaborative, open-minded team where your input really matters
