Full Stack Engineer

Job Description

Location: Reading Area – 1 day/week on-site

Core Focus

Backend-heavy engineering role for an established UK digital platform. Primary responsibility is tackling technical debt, refactoring legacy architecture, and optimizing application performance alongside new feature delivery.

Strict Requirements

  • PHP 8+ & Laravel: Commercial experience with Eloquent, Form Requests, Queued Jobs, and custom Artisan commands.
  • Codebase Refactoring: Proven history of refactoring legacy codebases and improving system maintainability rather than just executing feature tickets.
  • MySQL Optimization: Hands-on experience with indexing strategies, query analysis, and schema design.
  • Stack Balance: 70/30 to 50/50 backend-to-frontend focus.
  • Tooling: Docker, automated testing (PHPUnit), and modern utility CSS/JS (Tailwind, Alpine.js, or Vue).
  • Location: Must be UK-based within commuting distance for 1 day/month on-site in the Reading area.

Responsibilities

  • Build backend services end-to-end in PHP 8 and Laravel.
  • Identify database/API performance bottlenecks and implement fixes.
  • Contribute to Docker container setup and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Ship code directly from local environment through to production in a lean, autonomous team
