The Role

We’re looking for a highly competent Full Stack Web Developer to join us on a 12-month contract. You’ll work closely with designers and project managers to deliver bespoke web solutions, primarily using PHP, WordPress, and Laravel, while contributing to technical decisions across projects.

  • Debug, maintain, and extend existing websites and applications
  • Contribute to code reviews, technical standards, and best practices
Essential Skills & Experience
  • Strong commercial experience with PHP
  • Advanced WordPress development, including:
  • Custom theme builds
  • Custom plugin development
  • ACF and bespoke content architectures
  • Solid experience working with Laravel
  • Strong understanding of MySQL / relational databases
  • Experience with Git and modern development workflows
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
Bonus / Nice-to-Have Skills
  • Experience with React
  • Strong working knowledge of Tailwind CSS
  • Shopify theme development and customisation
  • App development experience (web apps, mobile apps, or PWAs)
  • Experience integrating third-party APIs
  • Agency experience or working across multiple client projects
What We Offer
  • 12-month contract with competitive rate / salary equivalent
  • Profit share bonus scheme
  • Varied and interesting client work
  • Supportive, collaborative team environment
  • Opportunity to help shape technical direction and processes
