Working across a PHP/Laravel back end and Vue front end, you will contribute towards new functionality, internal tools, customer-facing applications, reporting capabilities, automation and third-party integrations. Rather than focusing exclusively on either front-end or back-end development, you will have the opportunity to build broader full-stack experience and contribute across different stages of the development lifecycle. You will work alongside experienced technology professionals and communicate directly with colleagues across the business to understand requirements and develop practical technical solutions. Responsibilities • Build and improve features across established applications and systems • Support development across both front-end and back-end environments • Develop dashboards, reporting tools, charts and tables • Support document generation and automated processes • Work with third-party REST APIs and webhooks • Assist with the development and maintenance of external integrations • Test changes carefully and contribute towards improving automated testing • Work with internal stakeholders to understand requirements and solve problems • Help maintain and progressively improve an established codebase • Support the ongoing development and reliability of live systems Candidate Requirements The ideal individual will be technically capable, inquisitive and keen to continue developing within a collaborative in-house environment.

Upon joining you will also take part in our client's favourable bonus scheme too, which can significantly enhance annual take home. Most notably, this is an opportunity to join a respected and established on an exciting tech and growth journey. They prefer to operate a strong promote from within policy, meaning opportunities to progress in to more senior tech positions may be available, once excellent performance is delivered, and as the business continues to scale. Please note this is an office-based role, 5 days per week in Hertfordshire. This is critical for team collaboration and development plans. Next Steps Our client is very keen to fill this role quickly in line with objectives. Due to the nature of the long-term opportunity here, it will not be on the market for long! If this role does sound like one that you are both qualified for and interested in, then we look forward to your application as soon as possible.
