What you’ll be doing Reporting to The Engineering Director you’ll be working on: Designing, building and maintaining backend services and APIs (REST and GraphQL) in PHP (modern OO PHP, preferably Laravel) backed by MySQL, with a focus on performance, reliability and clear domain boundaries. Managing dependencies with Composer, keeping our services up-to-date, secure and easy to work on including external and internal packages. Working with containerised services (e.g. Docker) deployed to AWS EKS, helping to design and tune container builds, health checks, resource usage and scaling behaviour. Implementing and integrating serverless components in AWS Lambda where they make sense (event-driven processing, glue code, automation tasks) alongside our containerised workloads. Collaborating daily with Product, QA, DevOps, Security and other engineers to refine requirements,



design solutions and break work down into deliverable slices within our sprint cycles. Owning complex tickets end-to-end – from reading technical specs and architecture diagrams, to implementation, test coverage, code review feedback and production rollout. Contributing to and using our CI/CD pipelines to ensure fast, reliable deployments, and helping to improve build, test and deploy stages for PHP and containerised services. Actively participating in incident response when needed – investigating production issues, restoring service quickly, and contributing to root cause analysis and follow-up improvements. Applying security and compliance best practices in your day-to-day work – from secure coding and dependency management to handling of data and secrets. (Nice to have) Collaborating with front-end teams using React and TypeScript to shape API contracts and occasionally contribute to straightforward UI changes when needed.

Hands‐on experience with AWS and containerised development – comfortable working with Docker, EKS (or Kubernetes), and Lambda, and understanding how apps behave in these environments. Strong grasp of modern engineering practices: automated testing (unit, integration), code review, trunk/branch strategies (GitHub using Gitflow), CI/CD, observability (logging, metrics, tracing) and managing technical debt. Comfortable reading and implementing from architecture diagrams and specs, making pragmatic technical decisions and working largely independently on complex features. A proactive collaborator who communicates clearly with Product, QA, DevOps and other squads, and who is happy to pair or unblock others when needed. Security‐minded: aware of commndon web and API vulnerabilities (OWASP), positive practices around secrets, access control and handling of PII. Familiarity with cloud‐backed applications, observability, feature flags, analytics, and secure integration with backend services. Familiarity with agentic AI development, with an emphasis on improving developer productivity through coding assistance, test generation, debugging support, documentation, and safe adoption practices. Nice to have: experience with React and TypeScript, broader web technologies, or front‐end/backend integration patterns; exposure to event‐driven architectures or microservices.
