6 FS PHP/Laravel developers (4 seniors and 2 mid level)

Share

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
