• You’ll be working on a real product with real users—not just internal tools or client projects
• The roadmap includes scaling, commercialisation, and new feature development
• You’ll collaborate directly with senior stakeholders—your work will be seen, used, and valued
• It’s a fast-paced, high-impact environment where your ideas will shape the future of the platform

• PHP (strong experience essential)
• TALL stack: Tailwind, Alpine.js, Laravel, Livewire
• LAMP stack familiarity
• PHP Unit / feature testing
• AWS (Linux server & MySQL admin)
• CI/CD pipeline setup & maintenance
• JIRA or similar project management tools

Desirable experience includes:

• Zend Certified PHP Engineer
• PHP Development Certification
• MySQL Certification
• Degree in Computer Science or similar (not essential)

If you’re a PHP Developer who wants to build something meaningful, work closely with decision-makers, and be part of a product’s journey from internal tool to market-ready platform—this is the one.
