We are not building a monolithic Enterprise app - think micro-services and a lean approach with quick running tests and deployment. This should be something you are passionate about, too.
You will need to demonstrate good levels of skill in some of the following: React, PHP, Node, Chef; and be comfortable with techniques such as message queues, data stores and know what makes a good RESTful API, as examples.

We expect candidates to be comfortable working in a Linux environment.
We value previous experience developing for high-demand & high-availability environments.

Salary circa £60k based on experience with bonus plus an excellent package covering everything you can think of.
