We are the internal recruitment partner for our client, a leading fintech company revolutionising the payments landscape in the UK and Ireland and are presenting an exciting opportunity for a Full Stack PHP Developer to join the expanding engineering department.
You will be naturally inquisitive, work well under pressure and have impeccable attention to detail. We welcome ideas and encourage autonomy, so being confident solving new and unusual problems independently is paramount.
Our client is an AWS shop and relies heavily on services such as ECS, ECR, EC2, RDS (Aurora MySQL), S3, SQS, ElastiCache, Kinesis and Lambda, so you will experience all of these in production. The current technology stack is primarily PHP and JavaScript but there may be opportunities to work with new technologies as the company expands and scales into the future - the skills you and your colleagues bring to the team will help shape the ongoing technology strategy.
Requirements
- Proven experience coding modern test-driven PHP.

- Strong SQL skills (the ability to write and optimise complex queries by hand).
- Demonstrable experience integrating with 3rd party APIs as well as building, maintaining, testing and deploying APIs for other developers to consume.
- To be comfortable with the Linux command-line.
- Practical experience writing cross-browser HTML/CSS with a framework such as Bootstrap or Bulma along with the necessary JavaScript to tie the UI together.
- Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical audiences.
- A can-do 'nothing is impossible' attitude.
Desirable
- Used a modern JS framework in production (such as Vue.js or Svelte).
- Previously worked on or with financial systems.
- Experience with alternative datastores (MongoDB, ElasticSearch, etc).
- Some history working with a complex application on AWS, ideally incorporating redundancy/high-availability measures and/or multi-region deployments.
- An interest in machine learning.
- Familiarity with Docker, bonus for any AWS ECR/ECS usage.
- Experience with popular eCommerce software such as WooCommerce or Magento.
- Practical knowledge of ‘defensive' programming techniques and/or a keen interest in web application security.
- Solved complex performance problems or architectural challenges in prior roles.
- An understanding of deterministic programming, specifically with durable functions/workflow authoring. Bonus points for any experience with Temporal.
- Previously used LocalStack for developing cloud-native applications.
- Contributed to one or more open-source projects.
Benefits
- A competitive salary of £35,000 - £60,000 dependent on skills, knowledge and experience.
- Remote position with occasional in-person meets in London, Essex or HQ in Melton Mowbray.
- Working Hours: 09:00 - 18:00 across Monday to Friday.
