• Extension of our PHP (Symfony) monolith by building advanced features centred around enhanced collaboration.
• Expansion of our API integration capabilities across the Cloud Suite and beyond

• A test-driven and self-testing mindset where you build quality into your code from the get-go
• A customer-centric mindset that prioritises understanding user needs and business impact over technical perfection
• Bonus points if you have strong experience putting best practices and standards in place (eg, test frameworks, performance analysis frameworks, etc.) and making strategic decisions on tech choices and how we deploy and maintain our products in production
