- Integrate backend services with third-party APIs, internal microservices, and data pipelines.
Frontend Development
- Build responsive, performant user interfaces using Vue.js, ensuring a consistent and intuitive user experience.
- Collaborate with UI/UX stakeholders to translate design requirements into clean, maintainable frontend code.
- Optimise frontend performance, state management, and component architecture across the Vue.js codebase.
- Ensure cross-browser compatibility and adherence to accessibility standards.
Linux & Deployment
- Deploy, configure, and maintain applications in Linux-based server environments (Ubuntu, CentOS, or equivalent).
- Work with Docker for containerised development and deployment workflows.
- Contribute to CI/CD pipeline configuration and support cloud infrastructure deployments on AWS or Azure.
- Perform basic Linux system administration tasks relevant to application hosting and maintenance.
Engineering Standards & Collaboration
- Participate in code reviews, technical design discussions, and sprint planning within an agile delivery framework.
- Write clean, well-documented, and testable code with automated test coverage as standard practice.
- Collaborate with DevOps, security, and product teams to ensure delivery quality and platform reliability.

- Demonstrable hands-on proficiency with PHP and the Laravel framework. Portfolio or codebase evidence required.
- Solid Vue.js frontend development experience including component architecture, Vuex/Pinia state management, and Vue Router.
- Comfortable working in and deploying to Linux-based environments as a standard part of the development workflow.
Technical Skills
- Strong PHP and Laravel skills: Eloquent ORM, middleware, queues, events, and API resource design.
- Proficient in Vue.js 3 with Composition API; familiarity with modern build tooling (Vite, Webpack).
- SQL database proficiency; schema design, query optimisation, and migration management.
- Version control with Git, including branching strategies and collaborative pull request workflows.
- Working knowledge of Linux command line, server configuration, and application deployment.
Advantageous
- Exposure to cybersecurity platforms, security dashboards, or data-intensive web applications.
- Experience with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure).
- Familiarity with application security concepts: OWASP Top 10, input validation, secure API design.
- TypeScript or JavaScript ecosystem experience alongside the Vue.js stack.
