- Investigating, analysing, documenting and correcting reported bugs.
What you bring:
- Commercial experience with OOP PHP.
- Experience with Asynchronous event driven architectures and functional programming.
- Ability to produce clean, well-documented, efficient and standards-compliant code to articulate and build complex applications.
- Knowledge of AWS technologies - S3, ECS, Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, Cloudwatch and appreciation for software engineering patterns
- An ability to work with an agile development methodology when delivering features.
- Demonstrable experience working as part of a team with a clear understanding of your role and shared responsibilities
