Job description

Remote, South Africa | Posted on 04/03/2026

We are seeking a highly skilled Full-Stack Developer with deep expertise in October CMS to help power our high-end interactive demo platforms. You will be the bridge between our creative vision and technical execution, responsible for architecting robust backends and seamless frontends that allow our 3D assets to shine. If you love the "developer-first" philosophy of October CMS and have a passion for clean, Laravel-based architecture, this is the role for you.

Key Responsibilities

• CMS Architecture: Design and maintain custom October CMS themes, plugins, and components tailored to high-performance interactive demos.
• Full-Stack Development: Build out bespoke functionality using PHP (Laravel), managing everything from database schema design to AJAX-heavy frontend interactions.
• Performance Optimization: Implement advanced caching, asset minification, and database optimization to ensure lightning-fast load times for global users.
• API Development: Build and consume RESTful APIs to connect Envoke demos with third- party CRM, marketing, and analytics tools.

Technical Requirements

• October CMS Expert: Proven experience building complex sites with October CMS. You should be intimately familiar with:
• Plugin development and the RainLab ecosystem.
• Laravel Core: Strong understanding of the Laravel framework (Eloquent ORM, Migrations, Service Providers, and Middleware).
• DevOps & Workflow: Proficiency with Git (version control is central to our workflow) and familiarity with deployment pipelines.

The "Envoke" Edge (Bonus Points)

• Interactive 3D Knowledge: Familiarity with Three.js or Babylon.js and how they interact with a CMS backend.
• Creative Collaboration: Experience working in a "Creative Studio" environment alongside artists and designers rather than just a traditional IT department.

Why Us?

We create virtual instrument simulations for lab equipment - helping people learn and service. We also create the learning management platforms that these simulations live in. We work with global biotech companies and we are always pushing boundaries with technical and creative ideas.
