Trainee Web Developer

Our client is a dynamic and successful marketing agency who are seeking a Junior Web Developer.

The successful candidate will have:

A track record of getting things done and can show us some work you're proud of.

You feel at home in modern object-oriented PHP using PHP 5.6 or 7 and how to apply those principles to solve complex problems.

You're familiar with MySQL (or another SQL flavor).

You're enthusiastic about new web technologies and love learning about how and when to use them (and when not to).

You have a solid understanding of Composer and how to manage your PHP dependencies.

You have experience with at least one of the big PHP frameworks.

You can complement your back end skills with a good knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

Working with git (and GitHub) is second nature to you by now.

Knowledge or Experience with Jira.

There are some other areas that would be real bonus and help push someone up that "dependent upon experience" scale:

Your front end skills are strong. You know your way around jQuery and use CSS preprocessors (we like SASS) and front-end build tools (we like Gulp.js) in your workflow.

Alternatively, you can bring some sysadmin skills to the table. We use Debian & Proxmox and are always on the lookout for careful experienced heads to help us manage our infrastructure.

You're familiar with what affects web performance and how to measure it.

You've got strong JavaScript skills. If you've done some more serious JavaScript development with tools like React, that would be even better.

You have used Zend Framework 1 in the past and understand its strengths and shortfalls.

You have experience with the wider stack. For us that means NGINX, MariaDB, AMP.

You've worked on eCommerce and can show us some examples of where you've worked on the scary end of actually taking people's money.

Integrating with APIs is an area where you have a lot of experience and have learnt a few of the lessons. This could be for payment gateways, booking engines, ERP solutions etc.

You've been exposed to Cloud technologies - in particular Rackspace.
