Are you a backend developer who loves solving real problems, building clean and scalable systems, and working across modern PHP, Laravel, MySQL, and cloud technologies? This role offers the chance to work in a growing organisation where your work directly influences business operations — from building high-performing APIs to supporting cloud integrations and improving internal systems.

We’re looking for someone who’s confident in backend development but also enjoys variety — someone who’s happy to jump in and support BAU IT tasks, technical troubleshooting, and user support when needed. If you’re a proactive developer who thrives in a fast-moving environment and enjoys wearing multiple hats, this is a great opportunity.

What you’ll do

• Build, improve, and maintain backend applications using PHP, Laravel, MySQL, and REST APIs.
• Develop and optimise API integrations, ensuring secure and performant data flow across systems.
• Contribute to solution design, troubleshooting, technical consulting, and architecture discussions.
• Work within Docker environments, Git workflows, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Use AWS tools (S3, Lambda, Cognito, Route53, CloudFront, VPC) to support cloud-enabled solutions.
• Create clear technical documentation, support UAT, and collaborate closely with business stakeholders.
• Provide ad hoc IT support, asset management, and BAU IT assistance across the organisation.

What we’re looking for

• 4+ years’ experience with Core PHP, Laravel, REST APIs, and MySQL.
• Practical experience with Docker, Git, CI/CD, and modern development practices.
• Solid SQL skills and familiarity with JavaScript frameworks and CSS.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to translate technical detail into plain language.
• Experience with AWS cloud services and an interest in scalable, cloud-native designs.
• A proactive mindset, willingness to learn, and comfort working in a dynamic environment.

Nice to have

• Exposure to Next.js or Statamic CMS.
• Experience across solution design and best practice architecture.
• Prior involvement in IT support, BAU tasks, or infrastructure projects.

What success looks like

• High-quality, stable backend solutions delivered reliably.
• Smooth collaboration across development, product, and IT support teams.
• Proactive contribution to BAU IT operations and cloud/integration projects.
• Continuous improvement through learning, experimentation, and modernisation.
