• Optimization: Capabilities in performance tuning and ensuring system security.
• Problem-Solving: A proactive and analytical approach to tackling technical challenges.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and optimise WordPress-based websites to enhance user experience and meet client specifications.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver robust, scalable, and efficient backend solutions using PHP and Laravel.
• Implement and maintain secure systems in compliance with industry standards and best practices.
• Create, integrate, and document RESTful APIs to support seamless communication between systems.
• Support and troubleshoot existing platforms, ensuring issues are resolved promptly.
• Optimise website and platform performance for speed, responsiveness, and scalability.
• Collaborate with clients and stakeholders to ensure the delivery of solutions that meet business objectives.
• Stay updated with the latest technologies and trends, recommending improvements where necessary.

Benefits

• Flexible Working Options: Choose between remote, hybrid, or in-office setups to suit your lifestyle and maximise productivity.
• Generous Holiday Allowance: Enjoy 26 days of annual leave, plus bank holidays, with the option to buy additional days.
• Health and Wellness Support: Access private healthcare, mental health resources, and subsidised gym memberships.
• Learning and Development: Funding for courses, certifications, and conferences to keep your skills sharp and relevant.
• Career Growth: Clear progression paths, mentorship programmes, and opportunities to take on leadership roles.
• Tech Perks: Get the latest equipment and software to ensure you’re working with cutting-edge tools.
• Team Culture: Join a collaborative, innovative team with regular social events, hackathons, and an annual retreat.
• Recognition and Rewards: Celebrate your achievements with awards, shout-outs, and incentives.
• Work-Life Balance: Flexible hours and support for personal commitments, because life happens outside of work too.
