- Apply best practices (service patterns, Eloquent optimisation, clean architecture)
System Optimisation
- Improve performance and reliability of legacy systems
- Handle complex data migrations
- Proactively enhance system security
Cloud & DevOps
- Help modernise systems using AWS managed services
- Maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines
- Support automated, reliable deployments
Collaboration
- Work closely with frontend and UX on product development
- Contribute to product discovery and backlog shaping
- Participate in Agile/SCRUM ceremonies (Jira)
Key Technical Requirements
- 3+ years commercial experience in backend development
- Strong PHP (8.x) and deep Laravel expertise
- Solid PostgreSQL experience (schema design, optimisation)
- Experience building APIs and integrating with frontend frameworks (ideally React)
- Strong understanding of Agile/SCRUM and TDD
Nice to Have
