About the Role
We are looking for a mid-level Full-Stack Engineer who is equally comfortable on the front end and the back end. You will be working with React to build responsive, high-performance web interfaces and PHP to develop the server-side logic and APIs that power them.

- Developing server-side logic, RESTful APIs, and backend services in PHP
- Integrating front-end and back-end systems cleanly, ensuring data flows reliably between layers
- Working with relational databases to design, query, and optimise data structures
- Collaborating with product, design, and engineering teams to turn requirements into working software
- Participating in code reviews and contributing to shared engineering standards
- Troubleshooting and resolving issues across the full stack
- Writing clean, well-documented, and testable code with maintainability in mind
What You Bring
Essential:
- 3 to 5 years of hands-on full-stack development experience
- Strong proficiency in React including component design, state management, and performance optimisation
- Solid PHP development skills including RESTful API design and server-side logic
- Experience with relational databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL
- Comfortable working with Git in a collaborative development environment
- Strong problem-solving ability with the confidence to debug across both front end and back end
- Good communication skills and a collaborative approach to working with cross-functional teams
Advantageous:
- Experience in fintech, trading platforms, or regulated financial services
- Exposure to cloud infrastructure such as AWS, GCP, or Azure
- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and deployment practices
- Experience with front-end and back-end testing frameworks
