Php Developer

Description:

Hi, we're Ocasta. We are a well established friendly, diverse team of 16 developers, designers, product managers and support based around the U.K. with a cluster in Brighton. 

We are looking to expand our development team with a full-time, experienced PHP developer. You will be working on projects that are built with CakePHP and Wordpress. You will ideally have a good working knowledge of one or both of these along with MySQL as we use this throughout our solutions. We also use NodeJS, MongoDB, Docker, Git and AWS. If you have no knowledge of these don't worry there'll be plenty of opportunity to learn. We'll also give you opportunity to learn new technologies - for example our typical stack on our most recent projects is Golang, GraphQL & Lambdas hosted on AWS.

Since lockdown we've abandoned our office and are now a fully remote company. With remote working comes more flexibility for all of us and we are happy to adjust your flexible work hours around your commitments. As a remote company we value good communication skills.

We're looking for people based in the UK because employment law and timezones are simpler that way. Once COVID settles down we'll start having regular get togethers. As many of us live in the vicinity of Brighton where our office used to be expect some trips to the seaside! We encourage anyone applying to read some of the Five minutes with... series of posts we have on our website where our Ocastars talk about why they enjoy working here.
