Job description

Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

Salary: £45,000 - £55,000 (Dependent on experience)

Work Week: 35 hours, full-time

About The Role

INDEZ is looking for a skilled Magento Developer to join our compact, high-performance team. We are a Google Premier Partner and the organisers of the national Ecommerce Scotland conference www.ecommercescotland.com

We manage a portfolio of multi-million turnover (7 & 8 high figure) Magento B2C, B2B and Omnichannel merchants, handling their design, maintenance, and growth marketing.

This is a unique opportunity to work directly alongside our CTO - a highly specialised ecommerce architect with a PhD in High-Performance Computing. You will have the chance to work with high-level technical leadership, adopting the latest technology for growing and scaling ambitious clients.

We are a fully remote company with a results‑oriented culture that believes in empowered autonomy. We value results, trust, diligence & attention to detail. We need a "safe pair of hands" who can take ownership of code quality and manage their own time effectively.

The Opportunity

We don't just patch bugs; we innovate. We actively encourage the use of Agentic AI and Next‑Gen IDEs to accelerate complex refactoring. Whether you prefer Google Antigravity, Cursor, Windsurf, or PHPStorm with AI Assistant, we want you to use the best tools to amplify your output and focus on high‑value architectural logic.

What You’ll Do

• Develop & Optimise: Develop, maintain, and proactively optimise Magento 2 stores for a diverse client base.
• Complex Troubleshooting: Troubleshoot complex backend issues and integrate third‑party systems (ERPs, Payment Gateways).
• Architectural Collaboration: Collaborate with the CTO on architectural decisions and performance optimisations.
• Quality Control: Write clean, standards‑compliant, testable code and assist in code reviews.

The Essentials (About You)

• Experience: Minimum 3+ years of commercial experience with Magento 2, specifically with a backend focus.
• Tech Stack: Strong proficiency in PHP, MySQL, HTML / CSS, JavaScript, and Git.
• AI-Augmented Workflow: You are comfortable working with AI‑native IDEs (e.g. Google Antigravity, Cursor, Windsurf) to speed up debugging and code generation.
• Location: You must physically live in the UK and possess a valid work permit (no Digital Nomads).
• Mindset: You are a problem solver who finds root causes rather than patching bugs. You are self‑disciplined and communicate clearly - essential traits for our remote culture.

Why Join INDEZ?

We compete on culture, mentorship, and stability rather than venture‑backed burnout.

• Remote Freedom: Work from anywhere in the UK. We care about output, not hours in a chair.
• Work‑Life Balance: Standard 35‑hour working week (9am‑5pm), with flexibility to reduce to 28 hours (4 days) to suit family life.
• Exceptional Leave: 38 days total holiday (28 days + 9 statutory holidays + your birthday off).
• Benefits: Pension scheme (5% contribution), Life Cover, and a budget for a high‑spec work laptop (e.g. MacBook, Dell XPS, Dell Pro Max Plus) after probation. Plus, we provide noise‑cancelling headphones to ensure you have the peace needed for deep “flow” state work.
• LLM’s: All staff have access to Gemini Pro via our Google Workspace account. ChatGPT Pro or Claude Pro are also available if you have a preferred LLM.

Magento Focus

• Our Ecommerce focus is primarily on Magento 2 with Hyvä Commerce.
• Our hosting partner is Sonassi Hosting with Cloudflare & New Relic.

Please submit your LinkedIn profile, CV along with a link to portfolio or GitHub.

Note: We may ask for a small, paid code test (e.g., scoping a feature or fixing a bug) to demonstrate your approach to code quality and communication.
