6 FS PHP/Laravel developers (4 seniors and 2 mid level)
Developers are to start from the beginning of September and ramp up the team within 2-3 months.
PHP Laravel is key; however, we need people who develop the front end, PHP, JS, CSS
The client does not use any frameworks today; this is something for the future—no decisions have been made.
Key Responsibilities: End-to-End Engineering Ownership
- Design, build, and maintain full-stack solutions across UI, APIs, and backend systems
- Translate product requirements, designs, and wireframes into scalable, production-ready systems
- Own features from concept → development → testing → release → monitoring
Front-End Excellence
- Build responsive, high-performance user interfaces using modern JavaScript frameworks
- Translate UI/UX designs into clean, maintainable code
- Optimise applications for speed, scalability, and usability
Back-End & Platform Engineering
- Design and develop scalable services and APIs
- Work across monolith and microservices architecture (Laravel / PHP services)
- Maintain and evolve legacy systems while building modern, scalable architecture
Quality & Engineering Standards
- Own quality to production—testing is embedded, not a phase
- Write and maintain automated tests (unit, integration, end-to-end)
- Participate in and lead code reviews to ensure high engineering standards
- Debug, troubleshoot, and resolve issues across the stack
Performance & Scalability
- Optimise systems for performance, reliability, and scale
- Work with large-scale data systems (MySQL, NoSQL, search platforms)
- Identify bottlenecks and proactively improve system efficiency
Collaboration & Leadership
- Work in cross-functional teams with Product, Design, QA, and other Engineers
- Mentor and support less experienced engineers • Communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders
Must have
- Strong full-stack engineering experience, owning end-to-end delivery
- Proven backend expertise in PHP (Laravel)
- Strong JavaScript (ES6+) skills with modern frameworks (React/Vue/Angular)
- Experience designing and building RESTful APIs and scalable systems
- Strong understanding of system architecture and microservices • Experience with MySQL and NoSQL databases (e.g., Couchbase, MongoDB)
- Experience with event-driven systems (e.g., RabbitMQ, Pub/Sub) and cloud environments (GCP)
- Familiarity with Docker and CI/CD pipelines
- Strong engineering practices: testing, code quality, and production ownership
Good to have:
- Experience in eCommerce or marketplace platforms
- Cloud experience (GCP) • Experience with NoSQL (e.g. Couchbase) and Search platforms (e.g. Constructor & Solr)
- Experience working in microservices architecture
Metrics:
- Launch high-quality, production-ready code with low defect rates and minimal rework
- Reduce production incidents driven by improved engineering quality and ownership
- Real-time faster detection and resolution of issues across the full stack (MTTD / MTTR)
- Increase automated test coverage (unit, integration, end-to-end)
- Improve deployment success rate and confidence in releases and rollbacks
- Measurable improvements in performance (page speed, latency and response times)
- Increase feature delivery velocity without compromising stability
