Overview

We are looking for a Full Stack Developer to join an award-winning digital agency based in Gainsborough. This is a hands-on role in a collaborative studio where you will work on everything from large-scale WordPress sites for national leisure brands to bespoke Laravel platforms.

You will not just be maintaining sites, you will be contributing to the development of in-house tools and new AI-powered features that enhance site functionality and automation.

If you are a developer who is naturally curious about emerging technologies like OpenAI and Claude, you will find a lot of space to grow here.

The Technical Stack

• WordPress Mastery: Strong experience with custom themes, ACF and Gutenberg.
• PHP and Laravel: Solid knowledge of PHP with the ability to work on bespoke Laravel applications.
• Modern Front End: Experience with JavaScript, preferably using Vue or Alpine, to create pixel-perfect responsive experiences.
• Architecture: Confident working with RESTful APIs, third-party integrations and Git version control.
• The "Next Gen" Tech: You will have the opportunity to work with AI integrations, search technologies like Algolia or Meilisearch and modern tooling such as Vite and Tailwind.

You Will Thrive Here If

• You are excited by both front-end polish and back-end logic.
• You prefer a varied role where you can contribute to architectural decisions.
• You have a natural interest in AI and how it can be used to improve user experience.
• You enjoy working closely with designers and strategists to build scalable platforms.

The Perks and Culture

This is a relaxed and supportive team where developers have a genuine say in how things are built. They value work-life balance and offer a culture that reflects that.

• Early Weekend: A 3pm finish every Friday.
• Hybrid Working: A structured mix of in-office and remote days (Mon-Wed onsite in Gainsborough).
• Innovation Time: Direct access to new technologies and funded training for courses and certifications.
• Modern Office: Located in a vibrant retail park with free on-site parking and gym access.

Location and Working Pattern

This role requires you to be onsite in the Gainsborough office on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with the flexibility to work remotely on Thursdays and Fridays.

You should be within a comfortable commuting distance of Gainsborough.
