The role Joining an established but evolving tech function, you’ll play a key role in shaping, building, and enhancing a suite of web applications used across the business. Expect variety from developing robust back-end systems in Laravel, to crafting smooth, responsive user interfaces, to contributing to architectural discussions and future roadmap decisions.
