Opportunity
You’ll be joining as an experienced developer, working on live systems, handling sensitive data, maintaining reliable workflows, and ensuring the software does what users need it to do without getting in the way.

* Adding and improving JavaScript functionality to support straightforward user journeys.
* Designing and maintaining MariaDB databases, with attention to performance and data accuracy.
* Ensuring applications are secure, reliable and auditable.
* Investigating and fixing issues in live environments with minimal disruption.
* Writing clear, readable code that others can easily work with.
* Taking part in code reviews and technical discussions.
* Offering support and guidance to other developers when needed.
The Person
* Must have solid experience as a PHP Developer.
* Strong JavaScript skills, including working with APIs.
* Some experience with cloud-hosted environments (e.g., AWS), or the ability to pick this up quickly.
* Experience working on live systems with real users and real data.
* A sensible approach to security and data protection.
* Able to work independently and make sound technical decisions.
* Comfortable working with older or inherited codebases.
* Experience working in regulated or compliance-driven environments.
