Full Stack Developer

Role Overview

• Web development: Building performant, interactive websites using HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript, and modern frameworks, with strong attention to accessibility and technical SEO, coupled with PHP and Node.js back-end services.
• UI/UX integration: Bringing creative concepts to life in the browser, collaborating closely with design tools and design-thinking to create intuitive experiences across devices.
• Communication: Explaining technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and working collaboratively across the team.
• Infrastructure & server management: Provisioning and maintaining hosting environments, applying security hardening, and keeping services reliable.
• Practically, you’ll be hands-on across new builds and ongoing improvements to existing solutions, owning pieces of work end-to-end: design interpretation, build, integration, deployment, and maintenance.

Requirements

What we're looking for:

We’re looking for someone who enjoys working across the full stack and feels comfortable moving between different kinds of challenges in a typical week. You’ll be a clear, confident communicator who can work well with fellow specialists, but who can also explain technical decisions in a way that makes sense to people who don’t have a technical background.

You’ll probably thrive in this role if you like practical problem-solving and you’ve built up experience across web development and infrastructure. You’ll be happy writing solid code, getting prototypes together when needed, and troubleshooting issues with a calm, hands-on approach. Just as importantly, you’ll care about doing things properly, treating performance, security, and accessibility as part of the job, not add-ons, and you’ll enjoy working closely with designers, developers, and stakeholders to deliver thoughtful, high-quality digital experiences.

• Node.js
