About this role

Full-stack specialist developers demonstrate a strong and developing skill set in both front-end and backend technologies, following best practices.

The tech stack features PHP 7.4+, Composer, Laravel Valet, bespoke PHP framework with Timber/Twig, Node.js, React, Webpack/ViteJS, and Yarn. Hosting uses WP Engine, Netlify, AWS services like ElastiCache and S3, Cloudflare, and BunnyCDN. Code management relies on Bitbucket/GitHub repositories and pipelines for automated deployments.
