About you and the key skills we’re looking for.

Are you a passionate PHP developer with a solid foundation in computer science and over 3 years of experience? Join our dynamic team! We’re seeking someone proficient in PHP 8.2, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (ES6+), SQL, and MVC frameworks like Laminas and Laravel. Your skills in object-orientated programming, SOLID principles, and test-driven development will shine here. Familiarity with PSR standards, accessibility (WAI), RESTful APIs, Composer, NPM, and Git is essential. A big bonus is skills in TypeScript, WordPress, React.js, Docker, Linux, and more.

This is a great opportunity to join one of our international projects and work alongside an experienced team of developers.

What you will be doing:

Your day as a PHP developer will be dynamic and diverse. You will start by reviewing project requirements and client communications to understand the day's tasks. Your day often begins with coding, creating, or modifying PHP applications and integrating them with various frameworks. You will manage content meticulously for performance and SEO optimisation. Routine tasks include troubleshooting, testing, and collaborating with team members and designers. Effective client communication is crucial, involving updates, support, and feedback exchanges. Maintenance, database management, and backups will ensure site reliability. Staying updated on industry trends and PHP developments will keep your skills innovative and sharp.
