Job description

About the role

You'll build client websites from the frontend through to the CMS and Laravel API, then help deploy and maintain them on AWS. You should already be comfortable delivering working features and looking after a live application, with code review and collaboration as part of the job.

₱40,000 to ₱45,000 depending on what you bring, plus ₱2,850 a month in non-taxable allowances — rice, uniform and laundry — and a meal allowance for days you're in the office. Four days in Salcedo Village, Fridays from home.

Our clients include banks, insurers, hospitals, airports and listed companies: Aboitiz Land, InLife Benefits, St. Luke's, Mactan-Cebu Airport, RCBC and Robinsons. Their teams notice the details, from how a page matches the design to whether it loads quickly and works properly on a phone.

Projects follow a consistent process: build the frontend page by page, add the CMS so the client can update the content, and connect the Laravel API. Your work goes through code review before it ships, and you'll take part in reviewing other people's work too.

AWS experience matters here because some of our websites run on servers we manage ourselves. You should be able to deploy an application to EC2 or Lightsail, work with Linux over SSH, check logs, handle domains and HTTPS certificates, and explain how you would restore a backup or roll back a failed deployment. A certificate is welcome, but what matters is what you've actually operated.

This is a hands-on development role. You'll own the features and routine deployment work assigned to you, document changes, and raise issues early when they affect security, availability or the wider system. Major architecture changes and serious incidents need coordination with the team.

We use AI coding assistants day to day. They're useful tools, and you're still responsible for understanding, testing and reviewing the code you deliver. It's a small team: your work is visible, client feedback reaches you directly, and you'll be asked what you think. Launch weeks can be busy; quieter weeks give you room to improve the work and learn.

Send us examples of websites you've built, and tell us about one you've deployed or maintained on AWS. Be clear about which parts you personally handled.

What you'll do

• Build responsive client pages in Nuxt and Vue with Tailwind, following Figma files or approved designs.
• Build CMS modules and Laravel APIs, including models, migrations, authentication and MySQL data structures.
• Connect frontend pages to CMS content and APIs, with working loading, empty and error states.
• Deploy and maintain assigned websites on AWS EC2 or Lightsail, following the project's deployment process.
• Handle routine Linux, web-server, domain, HTTPS certificate and environment configuration tasks.
• Maintain backups, verify recovery steps, and prepare a rollback before changes that could affect a live site.
• Investigate application and server logs, resolve routine issues, and elevate serious incidents promptly.
• Work in Git branches, open pull requests, participate in code review and document changes.
• Test across desktop, tablet and mobile, check basic accessibility and performance, and verify reported fixes on the live site.

What we're looking for

• Around 2–4 years of relevant web-development experience, with shipped work you can show us and discuss.
• Practical Vue 3 experience, including the Composition API and script setup, plus Nuxt and an understanding of server-side rendering.
• Laravel and PHP experience covering routes, controllers, Eloquent, migrations, authentication and REST APIs.
• MySQL skills: designing tables, writing joins and investigating slow queries.
• Tailwind CSS and solid HTML/CSS fundamentals, with responsive work based on an actual design.
• Hands-on experience personally deploying and maintaining a live website on AWS EC2 or Lightsail. Please describe your contribution; a certification or an AWS entry in a skills list alone is not enough.
• Comfortable using Linux over SSH and working with Nginx, domains, HTTPS certificates and application environment settings.
• Understanding of access permissions, backups, restores and deployment rollbacks, with an example of a problem you've diagnosed.
• Git, pull requests and a habit of testing your work before calling it done.
• Able to work from our Salcedo Village office four days a week.

Nice to have

• Nuxt 4 and experience building client-editable CMS modules.
• Automated tests and deployment pipelines.
• AWS S3, RDS or CloudWatch experience relevant to websites you've operated.
• Performance work such as Core Web Vitals, image loading and bundle size.
• Technical SEO and basic accessibility testing.
• Effective use of AI coding assistants, with careful review of generated code.
• Experience discussing requirements or resolving issues directly
