We’re looking for a talented Full Stack PHP Developer to join our growing team.

You will be part of a team of 4 developers (and growing) responsible for the ongoing development of Shared Works, Novoville’s innovative platform for retrofit projects. Shared Works is at the forefront of the fight to improve our homes and reduce their carbon emissions (20% of the UK total!). By building software for governments, contractors, and residents to collaborate effectively across the customer journey, we help the industry work smarter, make people’s homes more comfortable, and reduce their impact on the climate. Shared Works is financially supported by the Scottish Government, European Union, and UK Government. We presented Shared Works at COP26. We are partners of 10+ Scottish Councils, Birmingham Council, and the West Midlands Combined Authority.

Implement responsive front-end components using HTML5, CSS3, and a JavaScript framework, preferably ReactJS. Write clean, efficient, and secure code following best practices. Collaborate with designers, product managers, and other developers in an agile environment. Participate in code reviews, testing, and deployment processes. Troubleshoot, debug, and optimise existing applications for performance and scalability. Skills & Experience 3–5 years’ experience in full-stack web development. Strong proficiency in PHP 7+/8+, ideally with Laravel, Symfony, or similar frameworks. Solid front-end development skills. We use HTML5, CSS3, and ReactJS. Experience with Postgres or other similar relational databases. Familiarity with version control (Git) and CI/CD workflows. Working knowledge of RESTful APIs, authentication, and web security principles. Understanding of Linux environments and basic server administration. Experience with containerisation tools (e.g. Docker) is desirable. Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail. Excellent communication and teamwork skills. Nice to Have Experience with cloud platforms, we work on AWS. Familiarity with testing frameworks (PHPUnit, Jest, etc.). Basic knowledge of Agile or Scrum methodologies. Working for a company that is doing something good for the community, the country, and ultimately, the world. Tons of autonomy, independence, and flexibility. Flexible working arrangements.
