Role: PHP and AWS Software Engineer
Salary: up to £65k plus benefits
Location: Fully remote. If you’d like to meet up with the team, they have a shared working space that you can go to in Nottingham, but there’s no pressure whatsoever to go into an office.
The company I’m recruiting for are a small, young company, founded in November 2020. One of the two co-founders is a massively well-known and respected person in the education industry, and the other comes from a strong fintech background in London’s investment banking scene.
The education specialist co-founder had an idea to create another education venture and his business partner was brought in, and they’ve not looked back since!
They have around 15 people in the company now, with a development team mainly based in Hungary. They want to bring development over to the UK, scale their platform, expand their team, and massively improve their technical estate and processes. They currently have most of their estate written in PHP, with some vue.js on the front end and some of their stuff hosted on AWS.
They want to bring someone into the business, starting with this role, who has really strong software engineering fundamentals- and ideally a background in PHP development, specifically- and AWS Cloud and DevOps skills to augment their deployment and CI/CD pipelines, who understands architecture challenges of software and suggest changes, which can be as radical as you like!
They want to refactor their code, can change the development language and toolset used internally, and want someone who has good experience with a relatively wide range of AWS services so they can start to make much better and wider use of the services they offer!
Finally, they need someone with good communication skills, so they can impart their knowledge, and collaborate well, with the rest of the tech team.
They have a shared working space set up in Nottingham City Centre but this role can be fully remote, depending on your preferences. They have fully embraced remote working and so you’ll not be pressured into attending an office!
