## About the Role

You're a strong engineer who cares about the craft but stays pragmatic. You understand that great platforms aren't about clever code, they're about reliability, performance and outcomes.

You'll need to bring:

 * 4+ years of commercial PHP experience with strong, modern Laravel.
 * Solid SQL fluency across MySQL and PostgreSQL - schema design, indexing, query optimisation.
 * Genuine comfort working in AWS environments.
 * Experience with Git-based workflows, code review and automated testing.
 * Excellent communication - you can explain a technical decision to a non-technical person without patronising them.

It would be helpful if you also have:

 * Statamic experience, or strong experience with another modern CMS and the appetite to learn it fast.
 * Frontend awareness - Vue, Vite, Tailwind.
 * Experience with search platforms like Algolia.
 * Experience with server provisioning tools like Ploi or Forge.
 * Agency experience - you're comfortable with pace, multiple projects and shifting priorities.

And importantly you bring energy, curiosity, and a can-do attitude that makes those around you better.

## Description

* Work confidently across our AWS estate - EC2, RDS, S3, CloudFront - with NGINX on Ubuntu.
 * Contribute to deployments, environments and CI/CD pipelines.
 * Help monitor, debug and resolve production issues calmly and quickly.
 * Care about security, backups and the boring things that stop bad days happening.

Data & Performance

 * Design and maintain database schemas across MySQL and PostgreSQL.
 * Diagnose and fix slow queries, N+1 problems and caching gaps.
 * Make performance a habit, not an afterthought.

Collaboration & Quality

 * Review code and be reviewed - constructively, without ego.
 * Work closely with frontend developers building in Vue, Vite and Tailwind.
 * Communicate clearly with non-technical colleagues and, where needed, clients.
 * Share what you learn and raise the standard of the team around you.
