  • Support frontend development using JavaScript, HTML and CSS.

  • Contribute to components built with Vue.js.

  • Improve and redevelop existing application modules.

  • Take increasing ownership of enhancements and development projects.

  • Balance planned development work with reactive issues and the needs of live systems.

  • Contribute ideas and practical solutions to improve existing platforms.

Some of the requirements:

  • Commercial development experience with PHP, Laravel and MySQL.

  • Strong backend development skills.

  • Experience working with live production systems.

  • Good working knowledge of JavaScript, HTML and CSS.
