• Utilising design patterns 
• Writing & maintaining Unit tests

They offer a really good benefits package including a private pension scheme and a discretionary bonus of up to 10%, as well as the opportunity to learn new skills and input into the technical direction of the business.

They highly value clean code, good coding standards and best practice and they’ve worked hard to eradicate legacy code and develop a fantastic code base. 

This is a great opportunity for anyone who loves complex coding challenges and backend Laravel development. These are some of the biggest, most intricate and popular websites out there so if you want to be part of their creation and perfection all from the comfort of your own home, apply now!
