Full-Stack Developer (Potential CTO Track) - PHP, JavaScript.

Our client is an early-stage, fast-growing company building high-performance web-based applications. They're assembling a small, elite technical team to lead the development of cutting-edge browser experiences with a strong focus on performance, interactivity, and clean architecture.

The team is remote-first, product-driven, and values speed, clarity, and thoughtful engineering. For the right candidate, there’s a clear track to a CTO-level leadership position.

You'll work closely with the founders to design and build browser-based applications that deliver real-time interactive experiences. You’ll be a key part of early architectural decisions, with full input on both front-end and back-end development.

This is an opportunity to make a significant technical and strategic impact from day one.

Responsibilities:

• Build robust, scalable browser-based applications using JavaScript or TypeScript.
• Develop back-end services (ideally in PHP, but flexible depending on your strengths).
• Design systems that support real-time data flow and responsiveness.
• Collaborate with a small, high-trust team to ship features quickly and iteratively.
• Establish and evolve engineering standards and best practices.
• Take ownership of technical direction, with room to grow into a leadership role.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of full-stack development experience.
• Strong skills in front-end JavaScript or TypeScript and component-based frameworks.
• Experience building or maintaining back-end APIs (ideally in PHP or a similar backend stack).
• Good understanding of asynchronous communication (WebSockets, REST, etc.).
• Comfortable in fast-paced, agile environments with high autonomy.
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills.

Bonus Points For:

• Experience with graphics, animation, or real-time browser rendering.
• Familiarity with HTML5 game engines or custom canvas work.
• Knowledge of cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Vercel) and CI/CD pipelines.
• Interest in mentorship, leadership, or stepping into a CTO-track position.

Benefits:

• Remote Working
• Share options
• Excellent career progression
