• Longer-term progression towards wider business and factory AI implementation
• Fully onsite in Scunthorpe, 36.5 hours per week - Mon-Fri

The Person:

• Full Stack development experience, delivering applications independently
• Working knowledge of PHP/Laravel; broader language experience advantageous
• Practical experience using AI coding tools such as GitHub Copilot
