JavaScript Developer - Remote working with monthly meeting in Greater Manchester. Are you a JavaScript developer with some experience of writing scalable applications? Are you interested in full stack work (JavaScript,PHP, Node, Angular and some Golang)? Would you like to be part of a team that write software that contributes to patient safety across the NHS and globally? I have a role that could be a good fit for you. This role would most suit a mid-level JavaScript developer who has some experience of working at scale. The software you are working on is distributed across over 200 customer environments and has additional complexities as it needs to be highly resilient and also secure as it will hold patient data for the NHS. Newer work is being done in Node and there is some Golang in their environment as well so an interest in these technologies is certainly useful but you will need to be a strong PHP developer to cope with their current application. Key technologies: JavaScript (NodeJS and Angular) PHP (Zend, Symfony, Doctrine) Cloud (they use AWS) Nice to have: Golang, Docker, Kubernetes, Application security You will be working directly with the engineering manager as part of a small team juggling a number of concurrent projects. You are either comfortable in a full stack role or are a backend developer looking to gain more full stack experience. Current work set up is as they gave up their office space during lockdown the current plan is that they will hire space for a monthly meeting in or around Stockport once it is sensible to do so. Please do get in touch if you would like to discuss this further. Also happy to consider more senior candidates looking for 3-4 days a week.

Are you a PHP developer with some experience of writing scalable applications? Are you interested in full stack work (PHP, NodeJS, Angular and some Golang)? Would you like to be part of a team that write software that contributes to patient safety across the NHS and globally? I have a role that could be a good fit for you. This role would most suit a mid-level PHP developer who has some experience of working at scale. The software you are working on is distributed across over 200 customer environments and has additional complexities as it needs to be highly resilient and also secure as it will hold patient data for the NHS. Newer work is being done in Node and there is some Golang in their environment as well so an interest in these technologies is certainly useful but you will need to be a strong PHP developer to cope with their current application. Key technologies: PHP (Zend, Symfony, Doctrine) JavaScript (NodeJS and Angular) Cloud (they use AWS) Nice to have: Golang, Docker, Kubernetes, Application security You will be working directly with the engineering manager as part of a small team juggling a number of concurrent projects. You are a PHP developer either comfortable in a full stack role or are a backend PHP developer looking to gain more full stack experience. Current work set up is as they gave up their office space during lockdown the current plan is that they will hire space for a monthly meeting in or around Stockport once it is sensible to do so. Please do get in touch if you would like to discuss this further. Also happy to consider more senior candidates looking for 3-4 days a week.
