Talented, enthusiastic back-end developer

Working with the technical director on back-end and CMS development for our projects. You will be involved in every stage of your projects, from planning out and building sites through testing/QA, deployment, delivery and post-launch support. You will typically be working on 2-3 projects at a time and work closely with our front-end developers integrating their template code into content-managed sites and dynamic web applications. 

You'll also be working with the team in supporting our catalogue of existing sites and providing ongoing support to our project managers and our clients.

You will be enthusiastic about web development and excited about new tools, techniques and technologies but know when this distracts from Getting Things Done. You must be self-motivated, organised and focused in your work but happy collaborating with others

• A passion for web design
• Build dynamic sites with PHP
• Work with relational databases, ideally MySQL
• Experience integrating front-end templates into Content Management Systems

• Experience developing custom PHP with Yii or similar framework (eg Laravel)
• Building and working with eCommerce websites, payment gateways, etc
• Working/integrating with third-party APIs
• Familiarity with front-end technologies, especially JavaScript/AJAX

The role will be based in our Bath office. No full-time remote working, sorry.
