• Enhancing and maintaining the existing application
• Tailoring implementations and scripts for individual customer requirements
• Developing and working with web services and APIs
• Supporting integrations between the platform, mobile application and IoT devices
• Working with Middleware and data integrations
• Contributing ideas to the technical direction and future development of the product
• Working closely with the wider business to turn customer and commercial requirements into effective technical solutions

This opportunity would particularly suit someone who enjoys solving problems, developing products and seeing the direct impact of their work on customers. Why Join?, If you’re an experienced PHP/Laravel developer who wants greater ownership, technical variety and the opportunity to play a significant role in building an innovative AgriTech product, we’d be very interested in hearing from you.
