Full-stack Developer

Smaller teams need people who can take a feature all the way: the table, the query, the endpoint, the page and the test. That is this role. You will build client websites with real functionality behind them, client portals, e-commerce and the software we write for one business at a time.

The stack is PHP 8, MySQL, Apache, Docker and plain JavaScript, with a pre-commit hook that runs the linter and a checker for silent failures. We build by hand and we keep what we build.

What you will be doing

• Design and build features end to end, from schema to interface.
• Integrate payment providers, data feeds, CRMs and telephony.
• Write the error path with the happy path, and the test with both.
• Review colleagues' work across the stack and have yours reviewed.
• Support what you built, from the log to the fix to the note for next time.

What you will need

• At least five years of commercial work in this field that you can show us. We promise clients that everyone on their project has that, so it is not negotiable.
• Features you shipped across the whole stack and supported afterwards.
• Modern PHP and SQL you write yourself.
• Front-end work you are not embarrassed by: accessible HTML, maintainable CSS, JavaScript without a framework where none is needed.
• Git in daily use.

Useful, not required

• Laravel or Symfony alongside plain PHP.
• Experience with a product you maintained for years rather than a run of short builds.
