Where you come in

We are looking to hire a driven and talented full-stack software engineer to join our development team for Ampsuite. Ideal candidates have a long track record of broadly-based dev skills, project successes, positive and constructive attitudes and can balance the demands of the software development lifecycle with their team.

Our web application stack for this role is mostly PHP, javascript, SQL, Docker and cloud technologies and products (Google Cloud). Along with these technologies, a solid foundation of software design principles and a positive, collaborative attitude is what we are looking for. (That last one is non-optional). We are passionate about electronic music and culture and hope you are too!

The Role

This is a high impact role in a growing company.  You’ll work directly with the Tech team to plan and execute our software development goals every quarter. You’ll work alongside the product team to understand and translate their vision into working software. 

This role requires the eligibility to live and work in the UK without visa sponsorship. The right candidate can be purely remote from anywhere in the UK. 

As a Full-stack Software Engineer you are accountable for:

• Developing software on a daily basis throughout our stack (API’s, front-end applications, database)

• Writing unit tests for the code you develop (PHPUnit/Pest)

• Understanding and implementing new features
• Accomplishing your sprint development goals and occasionally demonstrating what you’ve developed to your team and other stakeholders
• Collaborating with the product owner frequently regarding features and user stories
• Participating in sprint planning, feature demonstrations, and contributing to the best practices of your team

As a Full-stack Engineer you will require:

• 5+ years of experience programming with PHP (Laravel a bonus) and front-end javascript (jQuery, cross-browser)
• 3+ years of experience and strong proficiency in MySQL database design, implementation, and optimization.

• Dedication to designing and writing clean, readable, consistent and testable code

• Good knowledge of web protocols (HTTP, REST API’s, OAuth workflows, etc.)
• In-depth knowledge of web application stacks (solid experience in at least one web framework such as Laravel, Symfony, React, Django, Angular, etc.)
• Knowledge of cloud services such as AWS or GCP, and experience integrating their SDK’s
• Experience building scalable public APIs over HTTP
• Dedication to designing and writing clean, understandable and testable code
• Professional and best-practices approach to writing and maintaining code in a team environment
• Open, honest communication and a positive attitude

Experience with kubernetes, databases, networking, machine learning/AI or previous roles in the music industry are all great bonuses to bring to the role. 

Availability: We will prioritize candidates that meet the criteria, and that can join us the soonest.
