This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking digital studio working on genuinely exciting projects - from slick mobile apps to bespoke software to large-scale, fully custom digital platforms. The work is varied, creative, and impactful, and you'll play a real part in shaping how things are built.

They use the TALL stack extensively and have a real appreciation for Statamic, but they're equally keen on developers who bring broader experience across modern backend or full-stack environments.

• Experience with Statamic is highly beneficial
• Additional experience in any of the following would also fit really well:
• JavaScript/TypeScript
• Vue or React
• Tailwind CSS
• Livewire or Alpine.js
• MySQL/PostgreSQL
• Docker
• API design and integrations
• AWS or other cloud platforms
• General OOP best practice, testing, and modern dev tooling
• Someone who enjoys variety, problem-solving, and being part of a genuinely collaborative team
• Ideally based in or around Derbyshire - hybrid role with weekly office time

Why this is a brilliant place to work

• Brand new MacBook
• 26 days holiday + bank holidays + your birthday off
• A fully stocked beer fridge (including plenty of non-alcoholic choices)
• Friday breakfasts
• Monthly socials
• Conferences and industry events
• A supportive, ambitious, friendly team where your ideas really matter
