We're now looking for a passionate PHP developer to help us take advantage of our new system and expand our offering. This is a fantastic time to join as we start fresh on projects that we've been unable to consider until now.

The successful candidate will work closely with the existing dev team to continue building on our new foundation.

Imminent projects include:

Launching a new service Writing a new suite of tests Extending the B2B dashboard to provide more autonomy for our partners Automating reporting to simplify the CRM Consolidating build tools
